It referred him to several lawyers offering domain services Defending a UDRP can be expensive, and the ICA doesn't have the funds to do that. It would need to charge $25,000 a member to be able to do that.; @ Jamie, I can’t speak on behalf of ICA, but in the past it was contacted by someone looking for defense.

Im sure Mr. Graves has a smart lawyer and not just a smartname parked page. I was under the impression that the ICA could assist in providing some type of representation or at least help by means of tapping the collective wisdom of the association's member body to help develop a case strategy. Is the ICA primarily a domainer centric lobbying effort or is there more to the association than meets the eye? Since I am considering ICA membership, any insight or opinion that you may have would be appreciated. Thanks for the info. Im sure Mr. Graves has a smart lawyer and not just a smartname parked page.

I'm sure Graves knows what he's doing. Jamie, ICA doesn’t assist other than referring you to potential counsel. I’m sure Graves knows what he’s doing.

Should Bryan Graves be a member, could he rely on the association to assist him in any way? If so, how would they go about doing so? If in fact Mr. Graves is unsuccessful in assembling adequate representation to defend his rightful ownership to Baylor.com, it certainly seems like an easy snatch for Baylor University and the lawyers they've retained.

I guess a lot depends on the info I was not able to pull up on this...for example, I couldn't find any archive pages. I think this shows that Baylor and its law firm are getting confident. Baylor.com is obviously much more important to them than the domains they've already won, so it appears they wanted to test the waters with those before going for the big one.

And with the way some of these UDRP decisions have been going lately, the owner may end up wishing he had. It would’ve taken Baylor.com ten seconds to build an information site about Baylor County.
