Good. Hopefully this is one point were we can have consensus in the WG.

The point is that trademarks today have less protection in cyberspace than in other media.

The WIPO DRP is a good start. The process should be uniform for all existing gTLDs and at least for all new commercial gTLDs. Alternative dispute resolution is not an option in all countries, and therefore a mandatory DRP should be the first choice, however with a possibility to go to court should this be a better solution in the specific case.
