You registered a name with CORE after reading their Dispute Policy????
Any business owner who registers a name after reading CORE's dispute
policy is absolutely insane.
Lets look at parts of it :
7. Revocation. The registrant agrees that CORE shall have the right in
its sole discretion to revoke, suspend, transfer or otherwise modify a
domain name registration upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written
notice, or at such time as CORE receives a properly authenticated
order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or arbitration award,
requiring the revocation, suspension, transfer or modification of the
domain name registration.
So on 30 days notice, they can "revoke, suspend, transfer or otherwise
modify a domain name registration" with absolutely no standard of
proof or protection for the domain name holder. I have to put my
business' reputation in the hands of a company that includes such a
absolutely insane clause in their agreement?
CORE is going to make NSI look like a saint.
