Comments:
It is ridiculous and wrong for ICANN to attempt regulation of public morality or public 
"good"  on the internet.  How do you apply ANY reasonable standard in a world 
of highly divergent cultures and morals? It is IMPOSSIBLE.  Your application of trademark 
law would illegally apply it in ways previously unheard of, and beyond any international 
teaty or law.

How ICANN will adjudicate disputes is both unobjective and opaque. ICANN is not, and can 
really never be, properly set up to make thee determinations. There is no legal 
jurisdiction and no political accountability. Furthermore is gives a distinct and perhaps 
insurmountable advantage to well-funded entities, turning intellectual property rights 
and trademark law on it's head in favor of "who has the most resources to 
litigate".

All NON-TECHNICAL and NON-OPERATIONAL criteria must be removed from ICANN 
policy. This is the ONLY way to ensure free expression, non-discrimination, and 
innovation. Do not become another roadblock to progress.

Thank you.
