 GUIDELINES
One of the difficult problems in relation to domain names is the unauthorized registration, or "warehousing" of second-level domain names which correspond to existing intellectual property rights, for the purpose of trading off those rights or of selling those domain names to the owner of the intellectual property right.
Second, a broader exclusion from some or all of the CORE-gTLDs could be applied for, in "exceptional cases." Such cases would include at least trademarks which are globally known.
Where the domain name holder does have sufficient rights such that the use of the second-level domain name in question should not be excluded, an ACP may still decide that the second-level domain name is excluded from some or all other CORE-gTLDs.
