The first UDRP decision on .travel

[dtobias]

There's now a UDRP decision on record for .travel, the first of this TLD, and it also has the unusual distinction of being a respondent-default which was nevertheless not only won by the respondent but even resulted in a Reverse Domain-Name Hijacking decision. Very unusual. It's the case of downunder.travel:

Legitimate use. Enough said.

"The Respondent is Tourism Australia, located in Sydney, Australia. According to Complainant, Tourism Australia is a government entity with the mandate to promote Australia as a travel destination."

So's this:

both trademark registrations include a disclaimer affirming that Complainant has not claimed exclusive rights to the word “downunder”.
