More deusto.com - ICANN asks WIPO to correct their instructions
Thursday, March 09, 2006
Unfortunately, I cannot copy all the emails that I am exchanging these days in the deusto.com matter (I am too scared of the lawyers ...).
But one of the nice things is that after exchanging emails with ICANN representatives, my Registrar and WIPO, the ICANN decided to instruct WIPO to change their instructions (the WIPO intructions) towards the Registrars in the case of a complaint being issued against a domain (uff, anybody understands that paragraph ??)
As per the previous instructions that WIPO was sending, the Registrar would be suspending the domain, waiting for a resolution of the complaint. The wording was:
With this, the Registrar would place a registrar hold and lock on the domain name. So effectively, suspending it. That's why deusto.com remained suspended for 7 weeks.
But as I said, ICANN is requesting WIPO to change the wording. It won't help deusto.com anymore, but hopefully, will help other legitimate domain holders in the future. If WIPO listens to ICANN, of course ....
If anybody sees the new wording and wants to share it, please make a comment to this article.

(7) confirm that the domain name(s) will remain on registrar hold and lock during the pending administrative proceeding (reference is also made to paragraph 3.7.5.7. of the ICANN Expired Domain Deletion Policy, at http://www.icann.org/registrars/eddp.htm);
