RULES FOR THE SUSPENSION OR CANCELLATION OF A DOMAIN NAME
Under its published Rules,
Nominet has the power to suspend or cancel a Domain Name
registration in certain specific circumstances. However, Nominet
rarely invokes these powers. The most frequent invocation is where
legal action has been commenced.
The rules state that Nominet may cancel or suspend
a Domain Name in any one of the following circumstances:
- If the Domain Name is administered in a way
likely to endanger the operation of the Domain Name System
- If the basis on which the Domain Name was
registered has changed (eg the organisation making the
application no longer exists)
- If it is drawn to Nominet's attention that
the Domain Name is being used in a manner likely to cause
confusion to Internet users
- Where Nominet has been informed that legal
action has been commenced regarding use of the Domain name
- Where Nominet is of the opinion that one of the
above events is likely to occur.
