Then equally ridiculous for there to be a constituency for TM Holders. It
would not be necessary for IDNH Constituency if SWIPO had not been
stretching TM Law beyond the law itself. There would not be a need if the
UDRP was a fair and impartial Procedure Guideline. There would not be a need
to add fairness to the DNSO, NC, or ICANN if they already had fair practices
to begin with.

The fact you don't see the need Kent doesn't surprise me. This is a
political process at this time and you seem to remind us OFTEN of how long
you have been here. Let me return you a quote.

 "Politicians and diapers have one thing in common...
They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason."
