[ga] Afilias's Secret Policy Changes

[Sanjeev Goyal <mitsuindia@yahoo.com>]

Dear friends,
This matter should be promptly displayed at front page of Afilias site
but they failed to do so ? Why?......

Afilias SUNRISE POLICY Revived.
The registry for .info domains, Afilias is changing its look and seems
to make themselves clean with new Sunrise Policy and Rules. According
to new policy which declares on 20 November, 2001 says - "Afilias’
revised Sunrise Challenge rules and policies will require all
successful Sunrise Challengers who wish to register a disputed name
will be required to produce proof of trademark ownership prior to
transfer of the name. This step will help ensure that only a valid
trademark holder has the opportunity to register a disputed Sunrise
name." A good move to ensure to keep domain squatter at bay. And it
also declares that a process that will enable registrars to make
corrections to data that they may have incorrectly submitted during the
Sunrise registration period. Several registrars failed to correctly
submit vital trademark data given to them by trademark owners. This
correction process includes the creation of a database that will
parallel the existing .INFO WHOIS. Since the WHOIS records for Sunrise
names are currently locked and cannot be changed in the registry, the
registrars will submit corrected data to this parallel database.
Afilias will make a bulk challenge of many invalid Sunrise
registrations at the close of the Sunrise Challenge period on December
26, 2001. The correction process is therefore designed to protect valid
registrations and prevent Sunrise squatters from submitting updates
that could shield them from challenges. This indeed a great move as to
make themselves clean. But this great changes should promptly displayed
on the front page of Afilias site but they failed to do so.
