ICANN allows for the special protection of domain names (like "Olympics") 
based on CONTENT, Thomas.  Numerous legitimate claims by individuals to 
domain registrations have been (and are being) usurped with the blessing of 
ICANN under their UDRP rules every day since 1998.  The violation of my 
copyrighted material on a protected "Olympics" domain is therefore germane 
to this list.
