[gtld-council] modifications to new gTLD recommendations #3 and 6

[Robin Gross <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

NCUC proposes the following modifications to new gTLD recommendations #3 
and 6:
Rec. 3:

The process for selecting strings must not infringe existing legal 
rights that are enforceable under internationally recognized principles 
of law or the applicant's national law.
Examples of these legal rights that are internationally recognized 
include, but are not limited to, rights defined in the Paris Convention 
for the Protection of Industrial Property (in particular trademark 
rights), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International 
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (in particular freedom of 
expression rights).

Rec 6:

Strings must not be contrary to legal norms that are enforceable under 
generally accepted and internationally recognized principles of law.  
Taking into account the aforementioned limitations, no application shall 
be rejected solely because the applicant or string is associated with an 
unpopular or controversial point of view.
