westkelowna.ca - no transfer ordered

The District of Kelowna complained that a cybersquatter had registered the westkelowna.ca domain name. In its decision, the panel hearing the case denied a transfer of the domain name. The panel said, the complainant had failed to prove that it had rights in the mark. In this case, the municipality’s name was not listed in a Natural Resources Canada database, and so was not an eligible “Mark” (based on the record before the panel).
