Podzap you're right about .bg, I'm from Bulgaria and our regional registry has a really bad rep here because of such doings and high prices for a .bg domain. Local registries sometimes act like complete assholes and you can rarely do anything about it but I suggest that people should at least react somehow, and some day something might change.
Disclosure: This email is being sent to multiple concerned authorities and individuals including ICANN, Government of Pakistan, HKIAC, APTLD, ccTLDs Managers and other related officials at different organizations as BCC to respect their privacy but is addressed to all as a growing issue in Pakistan Internet Community.
Dear All,
While California based PKNIC SRS, Inc. (http://pknic.net.pk) has done a great job in the past for managing .pk ccTLD now Pakistan Internet community is very well educated and aware of their rights and cannot be fooled around by making fake PKNIC Advisory Group, false statements like “The policy for PKNIC is open to change by all Pakistanis (by voting)”, making a brand new controversial DNDRC.COM in 2006 for .pk domain name resolutions and using technical words on the website like “Delegation” and “Members of Shared Registry System” to give an impression like .pk registry is being run on share base model and public is making policies by vote. Those poor SRS Members are merely treated as pknic resellers with no access to the registry system except via email to submit a domain register form, that is all. We have seen tremendous increase in public complaints at public forums as well as with Government of Pakistan/PTA. Mr. Zahid Jamil (who owns DNDRC.COM) gave a presentation at recent PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) meeting leaving doubts like he is a pknic spokesman, even some people raised their eyebrows whether he is a salaried staff member of pknic? Same kind of concerns have also been seen on internet public forums. Initially when I suggested to outsource .pk registry to companies like Afilias or Neustar following .IN model, I was called as “Jews Agent” and person having “Indian Agenda” and what not.
did ya got any reply from dynadot about your domain... i think telenor have bought the whole server of ur domain... perhaps the priority will give to those customers who buys whole server rather than the customer who purchases the domain.... but instead of this the notification should have given to u.... regards Ashhad Shabbir
Note that Syria (.sy) has also been engaged in this sort of activity, but even worse - they repossessed some completely generic domain names because they thought that those names were too good for private people to own. If I am not mistaken, similar reports have come out of Bulgaria (.bg).
This is a problem in general with ccTLD (country code top level domains). This is also one of the reasons why dot com is so popular.
Regarding my domain djuice.pk what ever had happen is not good. Today this domain have finally been transfer to Telenor Pakistan even though I have proved that no prior contact either from PKNIC, from DNDR or any of you assigned arbitrator have been made with me. I am really not surprised on this unilateral and biased decision and ultimately transfer of my domain as in Pakistan where Chief justice of Pakistan (Honorable Iftikhar Ch.) by himself is fighting for justice how come an ordinary domain owner can expect any justice or a judicious decision.
Just as a matter of information to keep things clear I would record some of my observations which may or may not satisfied you for my claim on this domain djuice.pk
1. The Domain Djuice.PK was not registered with any Bad Faith 2. The time when this domain was registered as per my knowledge Telenor was not having this as a approved trade mark. 3. Telenor have never made it public that it have applied for Djuice as a trademark in the media 4. On my website it was clearly written that Djuice.Pk is not affiliated with Telenor 5. I was not running it as a mobile company It was a blog 6. I have never used term Djuice for my website but it was called as "djuice.pk"
7. As per my knowledge having a trade mark in one country does not automatically qualify for all other countries that is why still many variants of the Djuice are not owned by the Telenor
8. The time when i registered my domain the Djuice Trade Mark in the USA Patent office was expired. 9. In any case if this was legal right for the Telenor to have this domain this should have been done amicably through rules and procedures of the DNDRC and PKNIC by properly notifying me on my email address listed at domain record held by the PKNIC and not on a self assumed address admin@djuice.pk 10. I fully respect ICANN rules and PKNIC policy but in this particular case it have been implemented wrongly 11. PKNIC and other registrar always give a first opportunity to the Trade Mark owner to register a domain during sunrise period since by that time it was not an approved trade mark in Pakistan Telenor did not applied for the same.
12. Many domains which are listed at http://dotpk.pk/ and owned by a PKNIC partner websoul are real trade marks why these have been allowed by the PKNIC? Is this not against the PKNIC rules and term and conditions.
Well I have left my case with Allah Almighty as in Pakistan courts by them self are seeking justice from the Allah. There is no rule of law in Pakistan. The best thing what i could do was to left my case with Allah.
And I will defiantly refrain myself from registering any .pk domain in future and will prefer .asia instead

Yesterday I have received some serious threats via telephonic calls from the DNDRC (Domain Name Dispute Resolution Center for .PK) domains regarding my complaint on the domain djuice.pk, They have pressurized me to withdraw my complaint. As a matter of fact I had already proved them that I have never been contacted by them on this domain dispute.
Well I have no spare time to indulged any further debate on this issue so i was forced to withdraw my complaint.
May Allah Help My Pakistan from these Brutal Forces
