Maybe, for a registration of pepsi.xxx or disney.xxx there is some claim of acting in a reasonable and prudent manner toward ICM. Any defamation or "brand damage" claim I think would fall on the Registrant. (Happy if I can be proved wrong on this one).

Neither Manwin nor Hustler has made any threat based on any statute, ICAAN rule or
