Probably something about 'an inch of prevention is worth a pound of
cure'.....in addition to the obvious money makeing potential; disputes don't
make anyone (well, laywers perhaps, but certainly not budding registries)
any money.

Could someone please explain why there should even be a Sunrise period.
(Besides the obvious excuse to charge more money.) We have a UDRP that is
supposed to deal with these types of problems. All it has done is give those
with extra cash to spend, and a love of gambling, an advantage in
registering names that would hardly be considered trademarks.
At least the .biz process only warns you of potential trouble down the line,
it doesn't stop you from trying to register. That seems somewhat fairer for
everyone.
