Well done. the first .com is an unrelated business,
so you probably have a 50% chance in not losing it through the ICANN dispute policy.
The second is 4 oh 4, the third is a placeholder affiliate. So you're stylin'.

lawfully registered these names through ioDesign. If the "slate is cleared"
on ioDesign's registrations, it is doubtful I will be able to secure these names
which I have invested in for my business. I have pioneered the use of alternative
domain names by registering the above-described domains, spending money and time.
I will be very angry if I am not rewarded for registering the names for my businesses.<
Well,
if you'd registered the above in .net, or .org, or even a country code, you'd be
home and dry, but you registered them in a domain than may or may not be a TLD in
future, and unfortunately all the legal rulings so far fall on the wrong side of
that equation (have you offered to launch/carry the appeals pro bono?). Anger is
a negative emotion, unhealthy, if you call my office afterhours we can work on it.
