Mikki, I really like this concept.  It allows organizations like DNRC and
others who are active in intellectual property issues, but may not share the
view of Trademark interests.   This provides a nice balance to this
constituency and would go a LONG way towards removing my objection to it.

I think we should really examine this as a good compromise position on what has
been a most controversial issue.
