I Need A New Registrar
I need a new registrar. Once upon a time I opened an SRSPlus
account and have used that for the bulk of my domain name registrations
(I only have about 25 or so). My primary reason for using SRSPlus was
that the company provided Los Angeles County as the exclusive forum for
litigating disputes and made California law the law governing the
contract. That fit me perfectly. After the Verisign-Netsol split
though, SRSPlus adopted the policies of its parent Network Solutions,
complete with Virginia domain name law and forum in the Eastern
District of Virginia. So I plan to get the hell out of Herndon and move
my domain names back home to California. In an ideal world, I'd like a
Los Angeles-based registrar or, absent that, a registrar willing to
give me my choice of forum and my choice of law. Any recommendations?

yes. I recommend that you change your focus to choosing a registrar who will best keep you out of lawsuits rather than one who will provide you with the best jurisdiction when in one!

Here's a better idea: why don't you allow me to purchase more favorable terms? In other words, I might be willing to pay registration+ in order to have jurisidiction in California.
Also, don't forget that this is not just about having a comfy place to sue my own registrar. This is really about UDRP and trademark proceedings. I consent to juridiction in either my place of residence or the location of the registrar. Why would I voluntarily enter into a contract that allows me to be sued in Toronto? Trackbacks
