One of the reasons this is impossible without a mission statememnt is that
we know we all agree on the following statements. If so, then what you just
wrote is a mission statement. On the fair judgement of domain name disputes
and intellectual property though. Some of us believe their are no disputes
and that trademarks do not apply to domain names unless you file say
generalmotors.com and try to sell cars. Then if you're a GM Dealer you may
still have the right to do it. Or even a used car dealer who only deals in
GM Cars. Anyway thats a whole other debate, just thinking I really would
like to remove intellectual property looking as if it relates to domain
names. Just woke up so hope that makes sense.
