Milton,
I remain confused on outcomes here, not on intent. In response to
Timothe's posting I referenced the recent decision on the
trumpcard.com domain name as an example of how easy it is for a
trademark holder, registering the trademark after the fact of the
domain name registration, to take the domain name. This was a case
of the owner in pursuit of legitimate business interests tied to
that name for seven centuries, and operating two years before the
trademark was applied for. The trademark was granted in pursuit of
something else - selling credit cards. This was not a case of
false representation nor of cyber squatting.
Where were the ICANN protections there? What am I missing?

You are way, way, way off-base in this accusation. Everything
the NCUC has done around trademark-domain name conflicts in the
past 15 years has been done precisely to carve out a space for
individual rights and individual registrants against excessive
claims of TM owners, governments, etc.
