And to answer the original poster's question, yes, these people could combine forces and file a claim under 15 USC 1129 and most likely prevail. They will probably only get the domain name plus their attorneys' fees, as I can't see what true damages they could prove.

No, this is a really bad idea.

Under the UDRP, panelists are very unpredictable when it comes to personal names. Under 15 USC 1129, the path to victory is relatively clear.

Wasting $1500 on a filing fee to most likely lose is not that great of a move. Plus, under 1129, they can get their attorneys fees back from the guy.
