UDRP DECISION SAYS CRITICISM IS BAD FAITH The ICANN UDRP process hit a new low with a recent decision involving reg-vardy.com. The case involves an angry former customer of a car dealer who set up a criticism site. The panelist ordered the domain transferred, finding that the site's intention to disrupt the car dealer's business constituted bad faith. The arbitrator notes that the UDRP characterizes disrupting the business of a competitor bad faith. While admitting that the registrant is not a competitor, the panelist simply says that this is bad faith anyways.
