NZ WINS TRANSFER OF NEWZEALAND.BIZ DESPITE NO TRADEMARK
The Government of New Zealand has successfully obtained the transfer of the domain name newzealand.biz despite a finding that it does not hold a trademark in the name New Zealand.
The panelist in the STOP decision ruled that the government's claims to collective or common law rights in the name were not supported by law. The panelist also rejected New Zealand's request that the decision not be published. Nevertheless, the panelist found that the domain was registered in bad faith and proceeded to transfer it to the NZ government.

Andy Linton has been appointed to the board of the new ISOC company (PIR). This is the company that will be used should ISOC win the .org bid process (which looks like a shoe in as the ICANN staff are going out of the way to promote this as the 'best' bid).
