I am not advocating on the part of any specific NGO, but rather for the class 
of entity called NGO.  I am not at this time an advocate for any possible 
applicant though I do give advice to some.

I do not need to name a specific possible applicant who may be interested in 
such an exception - if people have not mentioned their possible applications I 
am certainly not going to mention some possibility so that the Rrs and RSP can 
chase down their business.  

WG positions are not based on specific applicants, no matter how much you and 
other members of the contracted parties want to make it so.

I merely have to indicated that on conversations with several NGOs, an interest 
has been mentioned on such an avenue being open to them and that they did not 
necessarily want to rely on an exception based solely on famous marks, though 
some do accept that a famous mark exception might serve their needs.
