RE: [gnso-rap-dt] Reverse Domain Name Hijacking as a Registration Abuse

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi George:

Interesting idea.  Can you provide a working definition of this, and
particularly how it differs from other types of abuse?  Especially what
distinguishes it from competing claims of rights and/or disputes?

Also, would it be be more germane in other PDPs (e.g., IRTP-B)?

Thanks--

J.

 Hi folks,
 
 I was reviewing the August 27, 2009 list of abuse categories/types,
 and noticed that there wasn't coverage of "Reverse Domain Name
 Hijacking" as an abuse.
 
 Using our working definition of abuse, it causes actual and
 substantial harm. It is also illegal or illegitimate. It might be best
 placed on page 5, below "Renewal / Transfer Abuse" although I'm open
 to suggestions.
 
 Would others support adding this to our list of abuses?
 
 Domain theft as a topic is presumably captured by "transfer abuse",
 but Reverse Domain Name Hijacking is somewhat different.
 
 Sincerely,
 
 George Kirikos
