This is a useful paper, thanks to the RyC. I note one factual inaccuracy wrt to UDRP proceedings. Under the current UDRP, a trademark owner (XYZ) can bring one complaint against domains in several TLDs (xyz.net, xyz.com) if they are registered to the same registrant. If xyz.munchen and xyz.munich were registered to different registrants, the trademark owner would need to file two complaints regardless whether there are one or two registry operators for those TLDs. I suggest the RyC may want to amend that section of the paper so as not to rely on a faulty premise.
