Sorry Avri - it is very confusing having all these option indeed :) - we are only talking about round 1 and, when I said I could work with option 7, I was thinking only round 1. The option needs to be there. the names of Olympic and red cross were not considered by ICANN as reserved, so elevating them to this status indefinitely is seriously problematic.

I lost track of what option 7 means:

the names are forever reserved, kind of like example,  and no one ever can have them,  including the IOC or Red Cross?
