[ale] OT: BIZ Registration Intellectual Property Claim Dispute

[Stan.Hearn at ipst.edu]

I think at this point we don't have to do anything except tell the 
registrars to proceed with our entry, right?

If I actually win the domain, then it's up to the claimant to file a 
dispute (under STOP) and justify their claim. Then I think I get to respond 
- that's where I get to say they have no claim. If the claimant doesn't 
file a dispute, then I get it.  Is this right?

It IP claim is for paper.biz.  The IP claim is from:
