43. I have already found there is no evidence it is the Complainant’s reputation that is leveraged by the PPC use, see §34 above. Over and above this, PPC and affiliate usage are not per se objectionable without evidence that the motivation at registration and/or thereafter is abusive or parasitic. See DRS 03733 Mercer. I do not see why the PPC usage itself cannot be a genuine use. If this is correct, there was no need for the Respondent to rush to implement his long held intention to create the translation site.

Now pending appeal - wonder if Uncle Tony will be doing this one personally

He did indeed Chair the panel - and here is the decision...

To be fair to Tony, his history does include a number of the more balanced decisions in DRS and UDRP. Don't forget he found the Queen guilty of Reverse Domain Hijacking once!

OBE or MBE for Uncle Tony the Royalist

Only one

Don't forget the quality control is in place....Tony is no longer chair he is the judge...all decisions pass through Tony and if he feels the expert is being a right donut he will probably order the expert to think again...

I have two interesting cases going through DRS and we will see whether Tony will put his head on the block!

The DRS system has not changed yet Lee - so you won't find any reviewing of decisions by TW. He remains Chair of the Experts for the moment.

The 2002 emails are contemporaneous evidence of intention and while the discussions with Ms. Dunn are not documented, she has come forward with a statement and I accept her evidence. This is sufficient for some showing of preparation. I accept mere delay is not necessarily abusive without more.

I have seen this several times in various DRS cases, maybe we should all write to each other saying what we intend to do with all our decent domains.

The 'Chairmans Letter' is revealing, it may explain why some decisions are questionable. Perhaps no one defined what it was they had to be an expert on! :mrgreen:

evidence required to enable toe Expert to give full weight

Mistaken

Ah...they have sneaked this one passed you beasty...

How are experts reviewed and quality controlled?

There is an Experts Review Group which is concerned with quality control in the DRS expert decisions. They assist the DRS Expert Chair to read all the decisions after they are made and assess whether there is anything of particular interest or any element of the decision that should be fed back to the Chair. The Chair will then in turn talk to the expert involved, if needed.

No doubt dubious decision have put the DTI and Government officials in an uncomfortable position....observing Nominet for years and running the Patent Office..indeed...

35 experts and not one of them picked up the fact Nominet flogged a contract to consumers on the back of an open ended contract

Saying that I ain't got a clue but nor has Nominet....first they said they don't administrate the rules and now they do....but then...the mediator said they only check two things...all bizarre and twisted

No Lee - I know that there is an Experts Review Group. However at the moment it offers nothing to a party to a dispute. If it has already commented on any decisions, those comments have not been made public. They certainly will not affect the validity of the decision.

The current Board proposals suggest a beefed up Review Group - with the people sitting on it removed from being Experts and presumably being paid to review all decisions. It remains to be seen whether they will have the power to overturn "unsafe" decisions. It also remains to be seen whether they will use any powers that they get - and, if they do, whether they will use them even handedly.

In any event, for your current cases, the Review Group (Chaired by TW) will offer no revision of any decisions if you think the Expert is a "donut". It does not have the power to do so.

Donuts

Got your point Beasty....just to point out experts are not necessarily made of dough but decisions can be based solely on how much jam is in the donut or any of other reason the expert can describe
