Reverse domain name Hijacking

transparent · Oct 28, 2004

The complainant has committed Reverse domain name Hijacking against us.
We have proved it.
To dispel all doubt: It was 100% of proof.
However, the Panel has chosen not to mention this claim:
The Panel did not say so much as one single word (!!!) in reference to the allegation of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking

We wrote to NAF, and argued:
not about the Decision,
not about the Panel's discretion,
but against the acting not according the UDRP.

Although we can appeal to court against the Transfer
We would like to know what steps we should take against NAF.
After all, we've got no response from NAF.
Can we take NAF to court? We even suggested them to
have arbitration between us and them. i.e between NAF and our company.

Taking into consideration we've got no response from NAF,
and that we are inside the 10 days period to take and appropriate legal action against the Complainant, our question is:

What steps we might take against NAF?
To right them again and let them know they are causing us a significant damage by not ruling according the UDRP and by not agreeing (or even responding) to our suggestion for arbitration between us and them , and then take them to court?

Thanks for helpful comments!

What makes you so sure the Complainant was engaged in RDNH?

What makes you so sure you've proven it, as you claim?

What makes you so sure NAF wasn't following UDRP guidelines?

What's the domain name or the NAF case # so we could find out?

The Panel did not say so much as one single word (!!!) in reference to the allegation of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking

If the panel ordered the name transferred, then the question of RDNH, which is only meaningful in a situation where the complaint is denied, is irrelevant.

Rule 15(e)

If after considering the submissions the Panel finds that the complaint was brought in bad faith, for example in an attempt at Reverse Domain Name Hijacking or was brought primarily to harass the domain-name holder, the Panel shall declare in its decision that the complaint was brought in bad faith and constitutes an abuse of the administrative proceeding.

Obviously, the panel did not find that the complaint was brought in bad faith, so they are not required to say anything about whether you thought it was.

We would like to know what steps we should take against NAF.

For what? Because the panelists - who are not NAF employees - didn't mention your claim of RNDH? The NAF was supposed to force the panel to do that somehow?
