Hi,

first of all this could look amenable to treating as a trademark case. If money is involved you have fraud too. The page's statement of why it displays the ISOC global page is sneaky and may provide a useful subterfuge.

You may also have a domain-name case. The registry is... PIR; it is a .org domain name. 

Looks like the chapters in Canada should quickly assess the legal situation in-country as well as for a UDRP, then move together with ISOC HQ. Need to think strategically.

Hi,

Why don’t the Canadian chapter do something about it?
It must be against Canadian law to impersonate an organisation like ISOC or its chapters.

Hi Folks

I noticed that the  www.isoctoronto.org <http://www.isoctoronto.org>    is still operational and it's showing the  current ISOC page.  

This site has been operating for years.  He asks people to complete  a form if interested.

This isn't a chapter and it's stealing potential chapter members from ISOC Canada chapter. 

Is anything ever going to be done with this?
