Milton,

The above statement is false. Kent has never stated that "the DNS
administrator *must* get directly involved in the resolution of trademark
disputes in second-level names". Quite the contrary, the registry operator
is just an entity delegated by ICANN, a database operator, and should not
be involved in any of this stuff, nor policy.

Please do not deform other peoples opinions to suit your own arguments. I
find Kent's position the most coherent one around here.
