I am not sure I understand what you precisely mean. Are you saying that   
TM's should not have a special protection in domain name space?

Again, your position is not clear, maybe because you use different words
than I would for certain procedures. Do you say that the current UDRP is
working alright? And what do you mean by it not being perfect? Would you
not say there are too many 'mistakes'? Bodacious-tatas.com? Barcelona.com?
Some people are put out of business and are at risk of going bankrupt
because of this "not perfect" UDRP. Would you not say there has to be done
something about this very soon?

Or do you really not care, because you think every company should have
just one domain, no more? Let them fight over domains amongst them, they
are wrong and bad anyway. Is that your position?
