DumbDomainer guy, there are other ways w/o contacting ICANN, they should care if the WHOIS is invalid/outdated/fake but ICANN can't force the current owner to respond, if fact they are not in the business of giving you the registrant's info, they just ensure the WHOIS is accurate so you can use it. Is the domain right now a page of some sort ? If it's parked, use the CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO link or so. Or email the parking co, they may fwd the email to the owner w/o giving out his identity. Or email the registrar, they could do exactly that too. Check marketplaces too even if it's a proper/given name (a person's unique 1st + last name) Many domainers submit their domains for sale in bulk not realizing they're including names they do not intend to sell (I have)
I imagine you'll offer him money for the domain once you contact him and unless he has YOU in mind (selling it to you only since it's such a rare name) he has to be nuts to keep it and look to sell it elsewhere (What kind of "content" does he have right now using your full name, it's weird, did you mean he's monetizing it some way with ads or is he developing it ?)
As for filing a complaint w/ICANN, that's a lost cause. Unfortunately, you forgot to renew and he picked it up, he did nothing wrong unless you can prove he's profiting from your full name in some way. Also, we do NOT have the right to our own full names in domain form, even if there are no two people with the same name on earth (it would be hard to prove anyway, your 1st name may be unique or it was invented by your parents, and your last name may be so rare too, but it's not something you naturally own) My feel is he got the name w/intention to sell it to you and you alone, otherwise he's a nutcase ... why would I buy a foreign, strange or unique full name in the aftermarket ? it defies logic.... and if it's so unique he could not have handregged it unless he had already targeted you and the webpage you had
