So you acknowledge that the US courts, ie the people who essentially run the
internet, have specifically classified domain speculation to not be
cyberqsquatting, but because it does not match your narrowminded view of
life, it is completely ignored and instead we have to go along with your
definition.

Is domain speculation banned in .uk, .de, .jp, .it, .fr, .kr, .ca ...... I
am not 100% sure, but I suspect you will find none of these have banned the
practise, yet you imply it is so evil it cannot possibly be even considered.

You insist on evidence and proof. Well, please show me what evidence you
have and which the above domain spaces did not have that proves your point?
You are clearly in the extreme minority of people that think speculation
should be banned. You got away with it the first time because the .au market
was not yet commercialised and therefore the policy panels were overly
stacked with academics, dns old timers and IP lawyers, while having very few
representatives with a commercial interest.
