They seem to now allow all sorts of vanity names to be registered by governmental entities federal, state, and local.

I don't think they could have registered a generic .gov to match this name. .Gov probably would be better, but the organization was trying to “brand” something.

It's a shame that sort of thing happened to the editor here. Remember factcheck? :P Well, apparently someone at the government thought .com has “better recall” than .gov.

All registrars in the .biz, .com, .info, .name, .net, and .org top-level domains follow the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. Under the policy, most types of trademark-based domain-name disputes must be resolved by agreement, court action, or arbitration before a registrar will cancel, suspend, or transfer a domain name. Disputes alleged to arise from abusive registrations of domain names (for example, cybersquatting) may be addressed by expedited administrative proceedings that the holder of trademark rights initiates by filing a complaint with an approved dispute-resolution service provider. To invoke the policy, a trademark owner either files a complaint in a court of proper jurisdiction against the domain name holder or submits a complaint to an approved dispute resolution service provider. These dispute-resolution companies act as arbitrators between the domain registrant and the company claiming to have an infringed trademark. There are four approved arbitrators. In practice, most disputes are handled by The National Arbitration Forum and World Intellectual Property Organization. Companies usually prefer to invoke the UDRP and arbitration compared to a lawsuit because it costs them as little as $1,500 plus legal fees. In order for a complainant to obtain the transfer of a domain during an arbitration, it must prove three things: 1. The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trade or service mark in which the complainant has rights. 2. The domain registrant has no legitimate rights or interests in the domain name. 3. The domain name has been registered and used in “bad faith”.
