    Name of country: who should own it?

    A name of an obscure African country is used by somebody. Can a citizen of that country claim it? The government? or will it be a waste of time?

    it will be a waste of time. that domain is legally and rightfully owned by whoever registered or purchased it.

    Togo?

    They always ask me that at the fast-food counter.... "Is that for here or Togo?"

    And I think, "Why would I order a milkshake in Philly to take all the way to Africa?"

    Re: Name of country: who should own it?

    I really believe that I should own all country names in all extensions. But since is not very pheasible, I should at least own all .com country names.
    This will ensure a fair treatment of the domains, and this way, there will be no disputes.

    Barcelona, although not a country was NOT denied.

    It was, however, reverse via other means.

    To the best of my knowledge...
