Agree to use it? I find this legalese. One agrees to accept it by
registering a generic TLD? Is that what you mean? Of course no one has to
register a generic TLD with an ICANN accredited registrar and the NetSol
registry. One can indeed always use a domain that is not under the UDRP.
Pity these do not resolve for approx. 99.9% of the users. But this may
certainly change if the ICANN Board will continue to display the attitude
you show here about this matter. Injustice will always hit back in the end
upon those who condone it, or worse devised it.

Of course, you are not on the Board of ICANN yet. There is still a chance
for remedy.
