Subject: Domain Name SCIENTOLOGIE.ORG
Dear Mr. Small:
D/T 18 RIF
The subject domain name registration was placed on „Hold“ pursuant to Section 9 of Network Solutions‘ Domain Name Dispute Policy („DNDP“).
As an accredited registrar with the hitemet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers („ICANN“), Network Solutions is required to implement the new dispute policy mandated by ICANN, effective January 1, 2000. A copy of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy („Policy“) is located on our website at http://www.domainmagistrate.com.
Under the new Policy, domain name registrations will no longer remain, or be placed on „Hold“ status. Accordingly, Network Solutions will terminate the dispute involving the SCIENTOLOGIE.ORG domain name, and will reactivate the name on May 9, 2000, unless we receive evidence of one of the following:
- a. a copy of a complaint filed after January 1, 2000, against the domain name registrant under the terms and conditions of the new Policy; or
- b. a copy of a file-stamped complaint filed in a court of competent jurisdiction which involves the subject domain name registration and specifically names the domain name registrant as a party. In such event Network Solutions will deposit control over the disputed domain name registration into the registry of the court involved.
- If you have further questions or desire additional information, please feel free to contact the Business Affairs Office at (703) 742-4884 and press option 3.
Sincerely,
Dispute Administrator Business Affairs Office
