**peekaboo** · 03-22-2005, 01:02 PM

i'm sorry i came out wrong.

what i meant 2 ask is couldn't he post a direct link to the article?

**Dave Zan** · 03-22-2005, 01:37 PM

Here's the actual decision:

**GeorgeK** · 03-22-2005, 01:52 PM

It brings into question NAF's neutrality when they issue press releases after decisions. See:

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/st...3239590&EDATE=

They don't issue press releases after ALL decisions.

Sincerely,

George

Uh oh. Is someone's head at NAF going to roll? :-D

**GeorgeK** · 03-22-2005, 02:25 PM

Unlikely, as ICANN isn't known for punishing their pals.

**diverge** · 03-22-2005, 04:17 PM

While she's on a roll, she should go after...
hillary08.com
hillary2008.com
clinton08.com
clinton2008.com

That's funny. Isnt there a clause somewhere about politicians NOT being able to challenge their names?
I'll try to dig up the linkis, but I know I had seens several links soecifically aimed at political figures and domain names, and you it said that because of the nature of politics, a politician could not go after the name, especially if it was being used for a free speech campaign.

Didn't Senator Orrin Hatch write the law concerning this?

Further, these are public figures like Madonna. If maybe there was a blog with free speech and some ads then the original owner might have been able to keep it.

**basscaster** · 03-27-2005, 04:03 PM

is it true that politicians can't go after names? Berryhill, can you comment on this?

respondent did not respond - usually bodes well for the complainant.

**Acro** · 03-27-2005, 05:50 PM

What about American Idol contenstants? I've seen lots of full name domains being sold. Why is Hillary one step above?

As public figures, they are fair game for comment, however:

In determining whether or not Complainant has common law rights in the HILLARY CLINTON mark, the Panel notes that Respondent failed to contest the allegations and the evidence contained within the Complaint. Due to Respondentâ€™s failure to submit a response, the Panel has chosen to view the Complaint in a light most favorable to Complainant, and will accept all reasonable allegations and inferences in the Complaint as true.

OMG John that's hilarious....

**jberryhill** · 03-28-2005, 09:43 PM

Can you imagine what her traffic is like this week?

**Acro** · 03-28-2005, 09:48 PM

Probably the ultimate typo.

**Steen** · 03-28-2005, 10:35 PM

typo? type in.

**Acro** · 03-28-2005, 10:40 PM

Yeah but still it's a typo of Terri Schiavo. How did you find that one, by the way, John?
