Now, it may be that too many summers have passed since my school boy German lessons,
and I will apologise immediately if I have made mistakes, but I had a poke round
the German TM registry site, checking the TM details of some of the names Sunrise
registered in the name of Afilias Board member Grabensee. Would you believe
it, all his clients whose domains I checked have given him false TM details.
Bit of a poor show I reckon when poor old Grabensee has agreed to be proxy registrant
to all these bounders. This sort of thing could give a chap a bad name - hey
what!The Grabensee .info Sunrise registrations whose TM details I checked against
the German TM data base indicates the following:
satan - no match to reg #
Rheingold

cashcontrol - no match to reg #
ragtime - no match to reg

eva - no match to reg #

infoman - Grabensee
date - 01-05-23, German registry date - 14/07/00
pop - Grabensee date and TM number
incorrect
slimnet - Grabensee date and TM number incorrect
netchat - no match
to reg #
I have also noted that some of the Grabensee registrations such as boobytrain.info
and extream.info (sic) have been erased from the Afilias whois.
Never mind - now
that Afilias has enabled registrants to correct their registration details or withdraw
their registrations, I am sure the Grabensee names will be returned for Landrush
11 - that it of course if I got my translation right.
