everyone needs to keep their domains up to date. it’s a rule that existe for years. not knowing the law is no excuse for breaking the law…

for non-domainers all this thing can seem absurd but they should get every year an email from their registrar company asking to confirm their contacts.

but best of all is that many domainers do it as well intentionally, to cover their tracks and/or for not paying for whois privacy service.

regarding the decision i must agree it’s totaly flawed. even with no reply from the Respondent where is the problem with a domain that was never online? where is the bad faith? simply insane.

someday a guy picks up a gun and shoots down these bunch of fools. that would be a great opening news story

Sometimes I think the WIPO arbitrators are just straight bribed.

bizarre.
a cheek taking to wipo, then defendant has out of daste whois records, i guess possible to do when an old domain and theyre not domainers. they were an ‘inc’ with those initials, the old owners, so what if dormant? if the same company owns a factory or other real estate that lays dormant for 7 years, do the council then own? no. its obscene

There is no appeal process. There are no “legal” precedents. The civil court system of any country is difficult enough. Now we can give away properties worth over $100k simply because we “didn’t fight” an action. DBN.com was just hadned to DNB because “it could be a typo!”. Should AA win AAB, AAC, AAA etc? Just because?

The system is flawed.

Even if the respondent fails to respond its the panelists job to judicate. Handing a potential north of 200K domain over to compalaint is akin to being a accessory to theft.

I hope the real owners of this domain takes this to a real court. They will win hand down.
