Lawyers Attack Nominet Plan for Domain Name Disputes
Nominet, the registry for .UK, has proposed a change in the way name disputes are handled. Under Nominet's plan, the dispute resolution process would be streamlined so that unopposed disputes are automatically resolved in favor of the party claiming the rights to a domain name. While the plan aims to help brand holders with the growing problem of cybersquatters and domainers, the proposal is being met with criticism by some who say that it does not go far enough in dealing with the problems they cause for legitimate businesses.
