Given all that ICANN has been through dealing with with name protection
demands regarding the Olympic name, I thought you might find amusing a
story of how the US Olympic Committee came across one group not ready to
back down.

Perhaps the story offers some inspiration -- and even maybe some ammunition
-- as we continue to address this issue.
