[Comment-Ip] Re: Famous and well known marks.

This section does not give resonable attention to the
rights of the non-famous or ill-known who might also
have some claim to a given domain name.  The section
should be rejected pending further review.

Prior standing in some other environment should have
no bearing upon an entity's standing within the
Internet.  In particular, the standing of governmental
and commercial enterprises should be disfaoured and
individual concerns favoured.
