Some registrars are seemingly asking that plaintiffs get a US court order rather than one from India, reported domainnamewire.com.
Attorney Ankur Raheja, who frequently acts as a Respondent’s representative in UDRP cases, noted that five registrars’ websites were not accessible through a few Indian ISPs at this time: Dynadot, Namecheap, Tucows, Sarek and Gransy.
