NZ DOMAINS GETTING FRAZZLED BY AU SPAMMERS
New Zealand domain name registry Domainz has failed in its
attempts to shut out Australian spammers Internet Registry.
Like fellow registry Internet Name Group, which is under
investigation by the Australian Competition and Consumer
Commission, Internet Registry has a copy of the Domainz
"Whois" database of .co.nz name owners, which they
cross-referenced against the .com database and use to send
spam.

Do you get the .co.nz whois database like some people ( Hey Larry ) got the
.com.au one ?
Or is it publicly available somewhere on the internet ?

UDRP PANEL RULES NAF SUPPLEMENTAL RULES INCONSISTENT WITH
UDRP POLICY
An NAF three-member panel has reportedly issued an
interesting decision that provides important comments on a
NAF supplemental rule that permits parties to file
supplemental filings within five calendar days and pay $250.
 The panel argued that the NAF rule was inconsistent with
the ICANN UDRP which grants panelists the discretion whether
to accept late filings.  Report at

DOT-NAME DOMAINS VIOLATE ICANN REGULATIONS
According to a new study by Ben Edelman at Harvard's Berkman
Center For Internet & Society, thousands of recently
registered .name domains violate ICANN regulations.  Under
restrictions approved by ICANN, registrations of .name
domains must adhere to the format "firstname.lastname.name"
and must be "a person's legal name, or a name by which the
person is commonly known."  Study at
