As you know, I'd support that, but I'm just trying to ensure I'm clear what you mean by "a fundamental right to … allow us all to use basic dictionary words, our names, and last names, freely and openly…" >>

Pranesh, I think you have summarized the concept brilliantly and succinctly. Tx you and yes!

The right to use domain names to help us label our websites for our
children, small businesses, causes and organizations in ways that are
legal and noninfringing seems the most basic of human rights.  But on
the Internet and in ICANN, large companies would like to reserve "their
words" and block all others from registering them in domain names.

/*I would urge us a fundamental right to all to push back -- and allow
us all to use basic dictionary words, our names and last names, freely
and openly in all legitimate and legal ways without prior blocking or
prior review. *//*We have fought for this Right to Words since the
founding of ICANN -- is this something you might capture in this table?

Do I read this correctly as ensuring that there is no presumption that trademarks trump other uses of domain name?

As you know, I'd support that, but I'm just trying to ensure I'm clear what you mean by "a fundamental right to … allow us all to use basic dictionary words, our names, and last names, freely and openly…"
