I only mention that because I acquire domains in TBR frequently, but I reg those in my personal name temporarily to avoid the public whois. I would normally prefer public whois for sales purposes, but I also prefer to not tip off people (competitors) what I'm buying. I eventually move them to...

btw a canadian corporation would satisfy, but make sure right now that the domain is in the corporation name (be exact), and not your personal name as Registrant.

i think cdrp is pretty fair to registrants, but you have to fight back, and if it goes to cdrp you have to get a panel instead of single a single panelist so you don’t get screwed by one rogue person. often the best strategy is to prevent it from going that far by letting them know you won’t...

I've been through it a few times, and have prevented many others from ever getting to CDRP. It would be a better private discussion since giving you any advice would require knowing the domain in question as every situation is different. If you want to talk, feel free to PM me and we can do a...

Nice idea, sounds like a good partnership. Wish you the best of luck with that!

Its generic, if they chose to not trademark it (which they didn't), its because they knew they couldn't get it approved.

Adam, you've received the full $160K already? This isn't some sort of payment plan? The domain hasn't been transferred to a new registrar, just a nameserver update made on Jan 19. Also, I see that the domain was listed last year on Atom, did the sale happen through atom? Just wondering how a...

There is no trademark in Canada on the term seats, only in combination with other terms. There is a design mark on seats with an arrow. Avoid an arrow in their logo and they are fine.

It's a lot more relaxing when you're not bidding and have a bowl of popcorn, haha.

To me, that's a CIRA screwup - because they should just simply ignore bad requests. Why give the company that screwed up a second chance?

looks like a CIRA screw-up on miya, still shows pending delete.

CIRA reps in the past have pretty much outright told me, its only complaint based. They don't feel its their job to proactively police the rules, just enforce them if needed, kinda like your local bylaw officer.

if you are registered as a CIRA member and have validated your identity already, does that ensure you'll never be hit with a RIV? I would hope that would offer some protection to a registrant from RIVs?

I meant internally, what rules do you base a decision on for a RIV go/no-go? q: Do you keep track of past RIVs on a specific registrant ID, and if that registrant ID has previously passed a RIV, you end it there? q: if you are registered as a CIRA member and have validated your identity...

What are your rules?
