The IP Claim service we deployed is for exact match, strcmp() returning 0.
Eric: Where is my factual error? Since strcmp() only returs 0 if the whole strings match exactly, it supports my contention that one needs to divine EXACTLY what every possible variation would be and would have to file each separately at a cost of $90 each. If, however, it were a substring match, that would be (somewhat) more reasonable.
Your conclusion (based upon one factual error and two speculative claims) is contradicted by the experience with the URDP, and as the study was done by academics (and fairly interesting, covering the major modes of DRP and the outcome distributions) you may want to fix their methodology, data and conclusions [1].
To invoke UDRP, one must begin by filing a "complaint in a court of proper jurisdiction against the domain-name holder" and then UDRP only deals with the dispensation of the domain once a legal resolution to the claim of infringement is achieved. I gather that all registrars will handle domains in such resolved cases with the .biz TLD as they have other active TLD's--there doesn't seem to be any need for an additional step. I don't see how this does anything but support my concerns.
Neat. I'd have gone for gravity myself, it is such a bother.
I have also been focused on the "gravity" of this situation.
Feel free to have the last word, its your scam. Follow-ups to the NANFG list.
Thanks, for the last word. Chuck
