    American Mensa, Ltd. v. Alan Heigl et al.

    http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/deci...2005-0068.html

    http://www.millcityrecords.com/mndensa/

    I spend a long time reading this page above, and can to the conclusion that Mensa does not mean you are smart, but rather crazy!

    First they signed an agreement with this guy then they let another start a new site, and the new guy created a page that had a lot of errors, then they fight the first one for the domain, and he updates the records to show the group's name, Minnesota Mensa, but that was not good enough for their lawyer, and they go through with the WIPO, and win, but for what? Do they really want the typo guy running the website of a mensa group? The irny in it is that this is a group that requires a high IQ to join.

    First of all, Mensa is not an acronym. It is the Latin word meaning "table," and it indicates that all members are equal. (Remember King Arthur’s Round Table?) Of course, some are more equal than others, because those who become involved and participate in the multitude of activities Mensa offers get the most from the society. The sole requirement for membership in Mensa is a score in the top 2 percent of the population on any standard intelligence test or the equivalent (130 on the Wechsler scale, 132 on the Stanford-Binet, 1250 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test after 1977).

    Because this is the only criterion for membership, the diversity of human beings in Mensa is immense. Members include authors, executives, carpenters, dancers, physicists, students, and many other kinds of people. You can well imagine the interest and fun generated when Mensans get together at a gathering (the official term). The talk can range over all and any subjects. One has the pleasure of hearing from an intelligent expert in a field other than one’s own. There is the delight in recognizing a new idea, a new concept, or a new outlook on an old theme. And there is just plain fun. Mensans love to play games of all kinds — computer games, word games, logic games, silly games

    Yes that would be a more suitable name for this case. We all should pitch in and offer the site to them. lol

    I'm actually a Mensa chapter webmaster myself, but I use a logical subdomain of mensa.org supplied by the parent organization, so my site will never get in the middle of a domain dispute.

    Hi dan, I have read some of your sites a long time ago on domain extentions.

    so what do you think of this case? I would think the groups shouls all have like mn.mensa.org and the "parent organization" should have registered mnmensa.org and directed it to that sub if they wanted, but why fight the webmaster you have assigned to get the job done?
