i have decided to proceed with the registrations that have an IP claim
against them - the only one that appeared to show any merit was actually the
australia.biz - the Australian Tourist Commission was claiming that after
using Australia.com for many years - maybe a good case - but I am proceeding
anyway - I just get rather annoyed, after .info, about the very dubious
nature of these ip claims - health, web, home etc
cheers
