Sadly someone is gonna get this name for cheap and make a lot of it. No one with morales is gonna bid i assume. Not saying i hold it against them for bidding I mean 2000 ovt w.ext thats not something to pass up as long as your willing to take that the hit on your reputation.

[IAmAllanShore]

Who says that someone will do something inappropriate with it necessarily?
For all we know, someone is bidding on it to win it for UNICEF itself....
-Allan

[DropLister]

could be, not ruling that out, and im not saying they will make something inappropriate of it either. Anyways keep us updated

Hi

I've joined SnapNames but cant figure out how I can view the auction for maori.com - can anyone help me out here?

Thanks
T

[TrafficNamer]

Would you buy UNICEF.com

[JYM]

Sheesh snowdogs is going for over $1k???

[Jo]

I found this on their official site:

"The unauthorized use of the UNICEF name and logo is against international law and is expressly forbidden."

from:

http://www.unicef.org/about/legal_copyright.html


Hmmmmm...

(I am pre-occupied with TM's and legal names lately )

You can't view it unless you were already in it from the beginning. There is no "running tally" so to speak

If you want to be in it, the only way in is through someone already in it

Yet again, not defending anyone with nefarious purposes in mind, but "text is cheap"

They can write whatever they want, but that does not mean that they can protect said statements (Or back them up).

Obviously, for the past decade or so they have not been able to get unicef.com, so I don't think that they necessarily have much of a bite behind that bark

Now if someone were to turn it into a child porn site, that would be another matter.

A disney movie, and a class of dogs that interest a great many

[tinggg]

Okay, thanks Allan.

[singx]

Yes, i would love to buy, UNICEF is doing a great job, and my little contribution to their cause won't matter much but, yes i would love to!

[sker]

i'll go for unicef & maori if i had that money.

Unicef is awesome name. Many ppl doesn't know the official website is unicef.org

maori is simply cool.

[fonzie_007]

I wouldn't touch unicef. Winner of the auction could have the domain taken away from them.

[TrafficNamer]

Update us on the prices please.

[Devil_Dog]

maori.com went $9,300.

[IAmAllanShore]

Just got an email from snapnames:

Dear SnapNames customer,

The domain name Unicef.com is currently under review and as such it is being removed from auction. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience or confusion.

Best,

Kjel Holmberg
SnapNames.com

Looks like they either grew a conscience, had threatened legal action, or the owner is disputing the expiration...

Will update when I find out more, I've been looking everywhere on this one
