Hoi,
In the Netherlands we had at one time someone who got some domains in order
to prevent cyber-squaters to get the domain. There were people who suggested
that the man himself was a cyber squatter as well.. All it took was the
offer of the money spend to be paid back to affect the domain transfer ....
It was asked nicely, it was offered nicely and that did the trick...
Important was that after the fact it was acknowledged publicly that the
gentleman was thanked for the service..
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi all,
He is not interested in donating in the domain name.
We need a fair deal, since he has spent money on that.
He wants us to sent a proposal to him.
Can we make a list of domain names ask 'in registry' to release to
wikimedia ?
Thanks,
Naveen Francis

From what Mike told me, it depends on how India
works with foreign
trademarks, domain names, etc. It's hard for the Foundation to get
involved until there's some kind of organization or chapter setup in
India. It gets a lot more complex if the Foundation has to come in,
which is why it's best to work informally with the registrar/owners
first.
Maybe you guys could try asking InRegistrar about this and see how far
that goes? Maybe they already have a process setup for this.
They have a published dispute resolution policy:
http://www.registry.in/.IN%20Domain%20Name%20Dispute%20Resolution%20Policy%…
The relevant clauses are 4 & 6, possibly 7. Is Wikipedia registered as
a trademark in India? Reading clause 4, I'm not sure anyone except the
holder of a trademark will be able to challenge a registration. Have a
look at the decisions they've put up on the website. They complainant
seems to have an Indian trademark or to have applied for one in most
cases:
