My understanding is that the Registrars and Afilias were contractually forbidden
to apply for/register names for themselves (except for up to 10 names that could
be "registrar reserved" if they were tradenames). You will see from a WHOIS check
of the list beneath that 007 names "registrar reserved" webex.info (along with 9
other 'interesting' names, as trading names of their company).I am a little confused
to note that there are several other names claimed with a webex e-mail address and
an 007 postal address for the registrant.
I don't know the answer and would welcome
clarification from 007 themselves if they want to explain on this forum. Did 007
register these names for their own company?

"hand-checked" by Afilias staff) which are claimed as being in use as trading names

In all honesty, I am NOT saying these names are ineligible in any way. 007 MAY
have been acting on behalf of clients (the explanation offered for Joker.com for
their 333 great generic claims). I am merely raising the question, and seeking answers
from 007/Webex - since if registrars were ineligible to apply for names, and then
list their own address and e-mail details as applicants, you can see how this can
lead to confusion, doubt or fraud.
Another example of Afilias failing to police
their own rules with sufficient stringency?
