Afilias says the sunrise period is for trademark holders
only. But there is a Tucows register who says it is optional. I have mailed to them
but no reply, are they deliberately trying to ruin the .info rollout?They are
also encouraging their customers to risk a fine by applying for internet.info and
sport.info which are trademarked, and would certainly be challenged.
I don't see
any good names going to cheats in the sunrise with invalid trademark claims - in
particular, registrars enom and dotster with their auction system surely wouldn't
allow this.
Will Afilias ensure that invalid claims are overturned in time for
the round-robin, if not then they clearly have no interest in ensuring a fair rollout
process. I mailed Afilias also with no reply.
