RESOLVED, that IPO supports the Rights Protection Mechanisms advocated by the Intellectual Property Constituency of ICANN, and particularly its recommendation that ICANN implement a mechanism for trademark owners to prevent second-level registration of their exact marks, as well as prevent second-level registration of their marks in combination with character strings previously found to have been abusively registered or used.
