Hi Erwin, hi all! > Don't bother... they are domain harvesters, running continuous requests > for (dead) domains, in order to cash in on sold ads. The only way to > obtain calmira.org now, is to file a complaint through ICANN > (icann.org). Mmmh, does anybody know more about the legal background of .ORG applications? I only know that for .INFO domains a trademark holder or the owner of a company by that name is served first (for that reason I didn't get cpm.info). As for .DE, it's similar, i.e. everybody can register every name, but if somebody with a trademark etc. sues you, you've lost. Normally, an Organisation should have the right to get the appropriate .ORG domain, but often there's a big gap between right and righteousness..... > If that is too much of a hasle, calmira.net is still free... I've registered that one right now, just in case... :-) Bye, Gaby -- Mrs. Gaby Chaudry Wirtstr. 10, 81539 Muenchen, Germany URL: http://www.gaby.de -- To unsubscribe, send a message to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe calmira_tips" in the body.
