Dear Afilias,
Can you please let me know if Afilias is planning to act on the many
fraudulent submissions/registrations you have and are receiving in the
Sunrise period ? I have done some random whois queries and see domains
awarded to companies/individuals that clearly not meet the Sunrise
prerequisites.
Some examples:

Invalid trademark date and number
and I can go on and on.
If Afilias is not going to filter these fraudulent registrations, I think
the whole concept of the Sunrise period has failed.
Yours sincerely,
