You paid a fee, they are required to follow their own procedures. You should be able to get quite a bit for actual and punitive damages. And you would be doing all the rest of us a service, by setting a precedent. We really cannot have Internic becoming an extension of the US government, or making arbitrary actions. But enforcement of contracts generally requires a court. As far as I can see, you wouldn't even have to prove that NASA.COM was "in a manner reasonably calculated to convey the impression". That would be up to NASA and/or FTC, should Internic get them to come to the court (third party cross complaint, perhaps). Although, for curiousities sake, what did this NASA stand for, and what was their product?
