I am a bit unsure about the clauses below, could someone kindly shed some light especially as it pertains to whether or not this means that existing holder of idn.com domains will not get priority rights for corresponding IDN.com (IDN.IDN version of their domains)? And what are the specifics for IPR 4.1.7c?

Thanks,

TD

4.3.4 Aspects relating to existing SLD Domain Name Holders
Agreement:
Agreement that priority rights for new domain names do not derive from existing domain name strings as such, but may, for instance, derive from established IPR. 4.1.7c
Agreement to address aliasing as a policy issue, rather than in terms of any specific technical mode for implementation of such a feature. 4.1.8

Support (alternative views may exist):
Support for measures to protect the rights of others, for example through sunrise periods. 4.2.17
Support for the view that aliasing provides protection of and reduces confusion for existing domain name holders, while recognizing that there may also be disadvantages.
Support for the view that aliasing does not alleviate confusion and should be struck from a list of potential solutions.4.2.19
