Dear Thomas:

                Where do you find that in my list of alternative solutions?

                I did not refer to usage of a domain.
                Let's take your domain as an example. If somebody ownes a
trademark "themel".
                And the owner wants your domain. My alternatives would work,
wouldn't they?
                The alternatives would prevent both of you from going
through any mediation,
                arbitration or law suit. That was the only thing I was
aiming at.

                UDPR is still a positive additional tool to solve disputes.
