[gnso-rpm-wg] Fwd: RPM Group <> Re: DomainNameWire ~ CentralNic to nuke a handful of pseudo-domain names

Sun May 8 20:50:11 UTC 2016

Hello All & George:     Cc Eric at Jones Day & Nick obo Nominet:

George, thanks for your detailed email sent, in connection with CentralNic.

Given this group is gathered to co-ordinate for ICANN, for the "*Rights
Protection Mechanisms*" going forward for Domain Name Registrants; and
Intellectual Property Holders / Owners alike, members here should
be cognizant of the fact that CentralNic are Con-Artists.

CentralNic are masters of the "*confusingly similar*" who've been able
to "*pass
off"* ".COM" Domain Names as an *ICANN Accredited ccTLD*s, thanks to the "
*Blurring*" words they used; and having VeriSign / Network Solutions, eNOM
/ Demand Media & 123Reg / Webfusion; and others, un related to my direct
harm, peddle what WTO's TRIPS define as MISLEADING  GI's  in the form of
FAKE cc.COMs as having great authority.

CentralNic beyond those firms, have been aided by ICANN's $crounging
$takeholders as Individuals  *{{ who here, will remain unnamed }} *
collectively
letting CentralNic's scam "*fall between the cracks" of ccTLD and GTLD
registries and outside the normal jurisdiction of ICAN**N*".

Here for the education of the newer members ~ *excluding the
co-operatively negligent, old timers *~ is where CentralNic arose, as
quoted in Steven Dyer's well crafted & cultivated quote to ICANN, where
they pitch their bid to run ".ORG", as linked & shown below.

The salient word CentralNic's Steven Dyer calculatingly inserts is  "suggested"
 followed  "by the late Jon Postel".

Beyond this,  "suggestion"  we're told of, there are no documents inside
ICANN to show CentralNic's domain names are anything but Domain Names,
subject to the RAA and the UDRP; and prior to ICANN, the United States Laws
Law governing Domain Names, Marks, Trade Names & Trademarks at Common Law
level, plus of course those "Registered" at the USPTO, like mine.

*ATTENTION:  Eric, at Jones Day*.

Please have Louis Touton, the original VP, Secretary & General Council
"inside" ICANN, who while on "Volunteer" ??? *assignment* ???  from Jones
Day the "Outside" Council of service to ICANN via Jones Day, confirm that
CentralNic never were granted NEW gTLD Status during ICANN's meeting in
Japan; and You Eric, can confirm on behalf of ICANN that uk.COM still isn't.

Because as You know, if it it were, it'd be listed in the IANA Root
Directory, with the genuine "new g ltd's".

Eric; and Jones Day, you *can* help here with my request, *as I'm formally
participating within ICANN's GNSO-RPM Group.*

Or conversely, when ICANN Et Al are in due course sued in Toronto, Canada,
to investigate ICANN's integrity as a "Contractor" to the Canadian
Government, in the TPP at Section 18, Article 18:28 Domain Names ... and my
problem too, Mr. Touton will be questioned ~ as an ICANN'er.

The lawsuit will likely question ICANN's other Staff & some ".COM" Funded,
Globe-Trotting "Volunteers" too, along with Past Staff, again uniquely Mr.
Touton.

Eric, this letter linked  >
*https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/TPP-Final-Text-US-CA-Letter-Exchange-on-IP-Border-Enforcement.pdf
<https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/TPP-Final-Text-US-CA-Letter-Exchange-on-IP-Border-Enforcement.pdf>*
<  will confirm that ICANN are subjects of the Court for Questioning, as
ICANN must prove themselves honourable enough to be Contracted by the
Canadian Government to manage Domain Names.

Naturally, if ICANN are so incompetent that they can't / couldn't / won't
contemplate CentralNic's conduct after Contributory Infringement, as being
Common Law #TM Domain Name Dilution & Blurring into a UDRP, to follow &
uphold the RAA Rule, 3.7.7.9, that expressly prohibits Infringement, I can
tell you, ICANN will be deleted from the TPP.

Members of this group are encouraged to self-study the problem, to locate
and identify  ANY  document which validates CentralNic as being exempt from
the RAA.

Or as our bespoke ICANN, IPC .COM  funded globe-trotter Brian Winterfeldt
intimated to Gerald Bruce Lee, when at Steptoe & Johnson LLP, for BOTH
CentralNic & Network Solutions, prove that uk.COM ~ the .COM Domain Name ~
 is:  Extraterritorial to the Lanham Act ~ through ICANN Accreditation and
being listing in the IANA Root.

George, back to some of you're other points.  They're well studied and
thank you for taking the time to put all the information together!

*For the record:*

The UK Trademark was requested by Ms Dunabin, using with the .COM ~ Domain
Name uk.COM at the Second Level, coupled with Landcruise, at, or into the
Third Level.

The IPO have been apprised of the case; and it's history.   They know the
uk.COM is a Domain Name; and they also know that CentralNic deploy it as
they do.

The IPO being well informed, also know of the WTO TRIPS Rules and recognize
uk.COM as a "Misleading Geographic Indication".   As such they await, as
they must a Court Document confirming everything, as thats the protocol.

As for Nominet and Nick Phillips Cc'd, both confirmed, in conversation,
that I could't get the  .co.uk  Domain Name; because somebody was
'squatting" on it ~ expecting me to pay their ransom.

Nick will be sending me a confirmation with WHOIS Details, showing Times &
Dates of the "squatter"  that had the Domain Name, prior to Dunabin, for
presentation to the Canadian Court.

In closing, this group needs to address CentralNic, or this circumstance
will be yet another example of collusion, willful-blindness and contempt by
/ from ICANN'ers, towards the very people [ Domain Name Registrants ] their
meant to Serve!

Sorry, that's not going sit well with R[r]egistry & R[r]egistrar types, but
helping Me, keeps "You" in the NEW gTLD Game, as R[r]egistries &
R[r]egistrars having Criminal Convictions can't participate with ICANN,
much less can ICANN participate in being ICANN.

Cheers, Graham.

General description of CentralNic's business and other activities:

CentralNic is a leading, independent global domain name registry which is
committed to making it easier for Internet users to establish new and
distinctive domain names with regional and country-specific identities.

Headquartered in London, CentralNic currently has a portfolio of more than
17 domain names available to users world-wide, including *eu.com
<http://eu.com>* (Europe), *uk.com <http://uk.com>* (United Kingdom), *us.com
<http://us.com>* (United States), *cn.com <http://cn.com>* (China) and *ru.com
<http://ru.com>* (Russia). The total registry size exceeds 1.5 million
names.

CentralNic's operations, together with its predecessor company, NomiNation,
date back to 1996. CentralNic has a full-time staff of twenty-seven based
at CentralNic's headquarters in London, United Kingdom, a North American
Sales and Marketing Manager based in the US, and a European Business
Developer based in Germany. CentralNic is a privately held limited company,
70% owned by its founders who are all actively involved in the management
of CentralNic - with the remaining 30% held by passive investors. Steve
Dyer is regarded under English Law as being a controlling party with
respect to CentralNic.

To serve its customers without interruption, CentralNic operates an
expanding global network of Domain Name Servers running on the latest
versions of Solaris and Linux to ensure maximum reliability and
performance. The servers are co-ordinated and controlled from the company's
network operations centre in London.

CentralNic offers an efficient and speedy registration service in a number
of countries around the world and further countries are being added to its
portfolio. Its world-wide network of over 1,000 resellers provides
efficient local access for registration and assistance for registrants.

*vi. CentralNic corporate profile*

Originally founded in 1996 as *NomiNation*, CentralNic was re-launched in
April 2000 as an independent global domain name registry committed to
making it easier for Internet users to establish new and distinctive domain
names with regional and country-specific identities.

Headquartered in London, CentralNic currently has a portfolio of more than
17 domain names available to users world-wide, including *eu.com
<http://eu.com>*(Europe), *uk.com <http://uk.com>*(United Kingdom), *us.com
<http://us.com>*, (United States), *cn.com <http://cn.com>* (China) and *ru.com
<http://ru.com> *(Russia). The total registry size exceeds 1.5 million
names.

CentralNic uses the *.com* and *.net* standard domain name structure to
offer additional regional and country-specific domain names, ensuring a
secure, inexpensive solution for creating easily identifiable Internet
addresses world-wide. CentralNic is proud that this innovative use of the
domain name system was suggested by the late Jon Postel and recognises his
contribution.

CentralNic's registry service is particularly useful for Internet users in
countries where domain names are difficult to obtain due to restrictive
domain regulations. However, the CentralNic portfolio also has wide appeal
to individuals and companies seeking to define an Internet identity in a
region or country where they intend to establish or expand their business,
or for any other reason establish a geographically distinct identity.

Users often turn to CentralNic when a conventional Top Level Domain (TLD)
such as *.com*, or a country TLD such as *.uk* address has already been
claimed by another party. CentralNic customers include such well-known
companies as *Admiral Insurance*, *Electronics Boutique*, *Price Jamieson*
 and *Gucci*.

*vii. CentralNic past business operations/entity history*

In the early days of the UK Internet, NomiNation, the first private
Internet Registry Company, was launched to handle the domain name *uk.com
<http://uk.com>*.

The idea came about as a direct result of conversations between the late
Jon Postel ("Father of the Internet") and Stephen Dyer (Chairman of
NomiNation) in 1995. Jon suggested the use of *uk.com <http://uk.com>* to
compete with *co.uk <http://co.uk>* at a time when the proposed price of
the *co.uk <http://co.uk>* name was 200 (about $300 US).

Subsequently, with the launch of the *uk.com <http://uk.com>* domain
name, *co.uk
<http://co.uk>* was offered at 80 and Nominet UK, the *co.uk
<http://co.uk> *registry, did not hold a monopoly position. The two domain
names continue to function in harmony, and the addition of *uk.net
<http://uk.net>*, *gb.net <http://gb.net>* and *gb.com
<http://gb.com>* provides
the UK Internet community with the widest choice of local domain names.
