Date set for new domain regime
THE watershed event for Australia's new domain name regime has been
set for July 1.
On that day a raft of changes to the way all names ending in .au are
allocated, sold and managed will take place. Previously restricted
names will become more easily available and Melbourne IT's monopoly
on the provision of .com.au names will end.

JERRYFALWELL LOSES UDRP CLAIM OVER PARODY SITE (from BNA Internet Law
News)
A split WIPO UDRP panel has refused to transfer a domain
name that served as a parody Web site bearing the name of
the Rev. Jerry Falwell.  A majority of the panel ruled that
jerryfallwell.com should not be transferred as Falwell
failed to show trademark rights in his name.  Falwell's
lawyer says he will take his case to the U.S. courts.
