"Not even pretending to be a neutral arbiter of claims." (1.Viewing)

yikes. While this is a good point and seems like a blatant conflict of interest, I've felt they've treated me fairly in the past. Maybe I can get them to put my logo up there too, haha. They should put up an equal number of domain investor logos to be impartial.

Like their pro-corporate stance was ever in doubt and this ad promo just screams "Want to get your brand? Just pay the fee and we can steal it for you!"

Hell, even their corporate motto is:



All you need to do is look at the "no response" CDRPs vs UDRPs, where with the CDRP you have a 0% chance on the domain not going to the complainant, while the UDRP is a lot more even-handed, with panelists who actually follow the regulations, regardless of whether there is a response or not.

The CDRP is obviously designed to "give domains away to corporate interests" and if you do not respond (regardless of the situation) the respondent will lose, 100% of the time, and that is not right. The UDRP disproves this CDRP fallacy of following a "no response = guaranteed loss" process.

I have even seen RDNH findings with a UDRP non-response while with the CDRP the chances of that happening would be along the lines of winning the lottery 365 days in a row, while also being hit by lightning each of those days.

Nah, the odds would be even lower than that.

I can't argue that. Just saying that they have always treated me fairly.

Sure, but you fight for the right to party and are always on the lookout for danger.

What about the poor guy who is on vacation for a month and has no real facility to launch a challenge?

Not willing to stand firm in their convictions, huh?

My favorite CIIDRC tweets are definitely the promotion of the latest pro-corporate/rogue CDRP decisions from noted company lapdog Claude Freeman.

They really get fired up about him stealing away another domain through extremely dubious means - it must be great for business (both his and theirs) to show how incredibly easy it is.

Yes, I agree that is a problem. There are definitely a lot of real situations that could delay a response - including the fact that good lawyers rarely have the time to drop everything and respond for you in that timeline too. That's why I always say to respond where you can ask for an extension as well. Even if your response is incomplete, they'll give you the time and opportunity to correct it, including guidelines on what a response should include. You just HAVE to start the process, communicate with them and work it out. You can't just bury your head in the sand and ignore it and hope for the best.

That's for sure!

Then Claude comes 'a calling and your domain is gone, guaranteed.
