Sure.

1. Prove that the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trade or service mark in which you own rights.

2. Prove that the registrant has no legitimate rights or interests in the domain name.

3. Prove that the domain name was registered and used in bad faith.

If you do those three things, you should have no problem.

WIPO and the National Arbitration Forum? WIPO is more expensive and I believe I have seen you say before that it is best to try and get three panelists if possible? Unfortunately, my company will probably want to pay the lower fee for one panelist.

OK, sorry. I guess I remembered that wrong.

Thanks.

It's respondents that are better off with a three member panel, not complainants (although, on occasion, complainants *do* request a three member panel anyway). The reason is that there tends to be a pro-complainant bias in the panelists in general, so a randomly-selected panelist is more likely than not to be in favor of the complainant; a three-member panel, however, gives the respondent a chance to pick one member, allowing a pro-respondent panelist to be picked.

Katie,

I'd be glad to offer suggestions off-list. Send me an e-mail at pl.jones at verizon.net.

I was a swimmer in college too-so maybe that scores me extra advice?

I appreciate your help...
