So the score to date is: 488 names have been challenged.This leaves 4981 fakes
of Plankenstein's which Afilias MUST challenge
This leaves 4500 other fakes as
listed on Internet Challenge
This leaves 2000 foreign generics largely unreported?
This
leaves 3000 "hidden" fakes - the ones that "LOOK" real
I figure that makes nearly
500 out 15000 challenged.
By my math that means around 3% of fake names have been
challenged.
Afilias have given NO indication of what they're going to do with the
other 14,500. They say they'll go for the ones that are visibly ineligible. But does
that mean that the majority of fraudsters know they're going to get away with it?
Common
sense says that EVERY Sunrise applicant should be asked to present Trademark certificates/documentation
for experts to examine. No certificates then no domain.
There's time to do that,
or they could simply extend the lock-in period.
What do people think?
