I think we should talk with them about why the Trademark Clearinghouse 
is accepting "design marks" when it is only allowed to accept "word 
marks" as part of the Intellectual Property trademark registration 
process. I would also like to know why ICANN has spent time and money 
galore advertising the "rights protection mechanisms" of the New gTLDs 
but has not spent a second or a cent explaining what a URS action is, 
and how a Registrant can respond to a URS notice.

We spent a lot of time putting fairness and balance into the URS, but if 
no one teaches what it is or the broad defenses that exist, it is as if 
the balance we worked so hard for does not exist. Registrants around the 
world are left unprotected.

Best,
