It seems like this could be easily settled by CIRA requesting actual proof
of valid Canadian legal status from someone who is suspected of not having
it. If the suspected squatter can't produce any, they should delete his
registration. I don't see why this would be a big deal. I would think that a
dispute policy would only come into effect when one registrant is trampling
the rights of someone else specific (by registering a trademark in bad faith
or something of that nature). If this domain really was registered by
someone with no legal status in Canada, I think it's really CIRA's
responsibility to do this when it is brought to their attention. If they
don't, their own rule isn't going to mean anything to anyone. Especially if
it costs ~$3000 to enforce it and there are little penalties (aside from a
loss of the domain name) for the offender.
