Commencement of Administrative Proceeding. In accordance with Rules, Paragraph 4(c), the formal date of the commencement of the administrative proceeding is July 30, 2004.

6. Default. If your Response and/or required payment are not received by the above date, you will be considered in default. We will still appoint an Administrative Panel to review the facts of the dispute and to decide the case. The Administrative Panel will not be required to consider a late-filed Response, but will have the discretion to decide whether to do so and, as provided for by Rules, Paragraph 14, may draw such inferences from your default as it considers appropriate. There are other consequences of a default, including no obligation on our part to consider any designations you have made concerning the appointment of the Administrative Panel or to observe any guidelines you have provided concerning case-related communications.

7. Administrative Panel. The dispute between you and the Complainant will be decided by an Administrative Panel consisting of either one or three impartial and independent decision makers who will be appointed by the Forum. The Complainant in this administrative proceeding has elected an Administrative .........

and now??

Re: my first..UDRP case..any lawyer to help?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the terms of service for .biz names say that you already have to have an operating business to use it with before you register a name?

Wait, that's right, the thread mole links to explains that. Sounds like you are out of luck unless you can show you already have a company by that name.

Re: my first..UDRP case..any lawyer to help?

Some companies consider the .biz to be equal to .com for their image. That's why they targetted fluke.biz and not the .net or .org (the latter even links to actual Fluke products via PPC!)
