Lightbulb Is it true?

Is it true that if you send a letter to the person who owns the domain based on his contact info in the whois database and he does not respond within 20 days it will be transfered to the complaintaint??

Does anyone know what the specific letter is?

I've never heard of it and wonder if its true. Otherwise I will test my luck sending to Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and IBM....

Maybe you're refering to domains with bogus contact info? You can file a compliant to Internic here:

No. The proposition is not true.

Read a domain name registration contract from any gTLD registrar. They all state that failure to provide correct contact details in response to a registrar inquiry is grounds for deletion of the domain name registration in 15 days from notification.

No, the domain name is not transferred to anyone as a reward for pointing out bad whois data.
