[lug] good place to park or sell domains?

[Bear Giles]

I know arbitration itself is in the pocket of the corporations but in this
case there's a third party - your hosting company - and the arbitration
contract would be with them. I suspect they'll be very interested if the
arbitration company ignores a prior court decision that addressed this
precise issue.

Actually there's a fourth party - ICANN (and any upstream registrars from
yours). You aren't a direct party in their relationship BUT your
registrar's failure to comply with an official government court ruling
should raise eyebrows, arbitration clause in your contract or not, since
the court action preceded the arbitration and it's clear he's a sore loser.
