In your opinion, and the opinion of a very small group of people who stand to lose money because they fear that auDA will introduce premium registrations or question the legitimacy of domainers who sit on domains that they will then be forced to contest ownership if direct registrations are introduced.
Sometimes you need to drive on both sides of the street, keeping an eye on what’s coming and an eye on where you’re going. After all, you live in a ‘free-market’ globalized by the very product you sell, and most are domainers.
As for the legitimacy of domainers - I do not see any registrar warning its viewers / potential customers about domain name registration that may infringe trademarks, why? because registrars feel they do not have a public responsibility to the registrant to do so - its up to the due diligence of the registrant to conform to eligibility. How ironic. Playing into the gullibility of the public's knowledge about domain name registration only to profit from it and then condemn their actions later.
Where on your website do you inform the public about possible trademark infringement risk when registering a domain name?
