Jeweyjewman, what an unbelieveable find! I just have to repeat it because it
is so astounding:As you note, only "Owners of any current trademark or service
mark that have national effect prior to October 2, 2000 are eligible to register
a domain name during the Sunrise period." http://www.afilias.info/faq/sunrise.html
In
contrast, "Celebratehumanity" is nothing more than a pending trademark application,
at least under the given serial number of 75933196. It therefore is INVALID
under Sunrise.
Even so, Afilias proudly touts this very domain name in its August
23rd press release! As they wrote:
"A number of global brands have also registered
their taglines, including: wheresthebeef.info, nokiaconnectingpeople.info, fedexpriorityovernight.info,
celebratehumanity.info, and dell4me.info."
You gotta love it!
