Re: [wg-review] The Number 2 Problem (solution)

My point exactly. And by the way Bret, I have more then 500 domain names. I
don't wish 500 votes nor special treatment. But if they insist that TM
Holders, many of which have a lot more than 500 Trademarks, are represented
by a constituency then it is only fair IDNH have one as well. Eliminate the
TM Constituency and maybe I'll take another look. But, read this article and
you'll see how they are attmpting to, no, how they are taking TM Law way
beyond it's normal limits.
