* Section 4(a)(iii)- the word "and" which appears between "registered" and "is" is recommended to be stricken and replaced with the word "or" so it would read like this: "your domain name has been registered or is being used in bad faith." Schwartz explained that the recommendation was made to make so as to clear situations where alleged warehousing are considered to be "Applicable Disputes." He emphasized that cybersquatters are increasingly registering famous trademarks in bulk without creating active websites. He also explained that the provision is not consistent with provisions of 4(b) which states that ''registration of a mark can be in bad faith and, therefore, subject to the policy.''
