The NCSG points out that this goes back to scope defined in the IRT, which was rejected by the STI.  The GAC request as well as the Board response are unclear as to the scope of Intellectual Property and taken literally this would too broad.

6.1.2

Support

The GAC postion runs against the recommendations of the the GNSO, the IRT and the STI.

It is impossible to set objective and fair criteria for such determinations.

The NCSG understands both sides of this issues and shares the same concerns as the Board - trademark owners grabbing easy trademarks and gaming the system. A mechanism to address this issue is needed.
