It was not useless to submit names through Network Solutions: I got six through them
(true, rather unusual or foreign names, but anyway... there were foreign names which
I submitted on short lists and did not get!). This is a pleasant surprise - especially
considering the fact that they did not charge anything in advance.
Less pleasant:
in five of those six cases, the sponsoring registrars used by Network Solutions (I
had submitted the names directly to Network Solutions, but they went through various
sponsoring registrars) included a TM, which I did never claim to have. Always the
sanme: 2000-10-01, US, E.G.B. 12345. What does "EGB" mean? does it indicate that
those are just numbers to fill a space, not a TM claim, or could it be that some
of my names could be challenged due to that unrequested, fake TM addition by registrars?
Here are my full results, since every body is interested to know more about results
through various registrars (I list only those through which I submitted at least
three names):
NETWORK SOLUTIONS: 20 submitted, got 6
1st DOMAIN: 9 submitted,
got 1
AAAQ: 5 submitted, got 3
DOMAINBANK: 3 submitted, got 1
DOMAINPEOPLE:
3 submitted, got 0
GODADDY: 6 submitted, got 0
PARAVA: 3 submitted, got 1
REGISTER,COM:
3 submitted, got 0. (Actually, I had registered many more with Register.com and some
other registrars, but all those additional ones were taken by people with fake TM
during Sunrise, and so I do not include them in this account.)
