If the procedure isn't in place to force an auction where there are multiple competing claims for the same "generic domain" the domain assignement rules ought to be amended and implemented NOW to avoid either a manifest injustice or gaming of the system or other immediate loss of credibility for the entire domain "trademark recognition" procedure.

Of course, for this to happen (if it's not already in place) the .EU governing body would have to act swiftly and decisively.

Anyone see any evidence of that?

Looks to me that the .EU registry is off to an inglorious start if all the generic domain/word claims - many brought by the same few firms - are allowed to stand.

No "sunrise surpise" as history repeats itself.
