This proposal would simply add one further category of names that would be reserved for the general public, but open for registration by authorized entities. The TMCH would provide the list to the registry operators.
I believe the TM folks had a grave concern about that "list" of TMCH marks being made public (which effectively would be the case, if it was simply handed over to many registry operators). Given the number of distinct registry operators that would have access to it, each one would have plausible deniability as it got leaked/distributed, and it would be impossible to identify the source/leaker who 'violated' any terms restricting its use. That list could then form the basis of premium names lists, amongst other issues, in their eyes. I don't have any problems with that list being public and/or "effectively" public and widely distributed, though. It's been repeatedly asked for by Paul Keating and others in this PDP as well, so that we can dive deep and research the topics at stake in this review of RPMs. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
