Along with Oklahoma.info, this name was embezzled by catalog.com in a flagrant violation of the Afilias registration contract.

This is much worse. An ICANN acreddited registrar committing fraud.

I have been monitoring this too - I live in Dallas and attempted to register this name, only to be shucked out by their bogus trademark claims. They also registered plano.info, and catalog.info. I am totally on board with anyone else who wants to protest this, if any recourse is available.

I think .info should pull *every single name* they registered for pulling this con job. They are a registry, and clearly know this was fraudulent, and just plain wrong.

I think catalog.com should present Dallas.info to the City Of Dallas -

shame on these crooks.

In fact, ICANN should pull their accreditation. This is beyond insultiing.

Yes, ICANN should hold these registrars accountable

Moshe Fogel, the owner of two ICANN registrars, AND and Afilias Board member registered domains.info for himself, and also has some affiliation with names like hawaii.info
