So, presumably, the domain name was re-registered by the respondent after the URS suspension expired in the first case.  It would be fascinating to know if the complainant/trademark owner tried to register the domain name fr itself after the suspension expired but was unable to do so before the respondent got it again – that’s certainly a significant limitation/hazard of the URS.

This I would say is a quintessential example of a problem.  The decision itself must at least contain the facts that were found so as to support the decision.

This would seem to be an NAF issue resulting from a lack of administrative review of the decision for complaince AND in ensuring that panelists are properly educated and qualified.
