Premium domain sales and founders programs are among the now industry-standard practices that would be essentially banned under the current draft of the TMCH rules, they say.
2.2.4 Registry Operator MUST NOT allow a domain name to be reserved or registered to a registrant who is not a Sunrise-Eligible Rights Holder prior to the conclusion of the Sunrise Period.
What this means is that trademark owners get first dibs on pretty much every possible string in every gTLD.
The requirements document is still just a draft, and discussions are ongoing.
“It’s certainly not our intention to restrict business models,” Lenz said.

Would anyone here bother to voice this issue to ICANN?
