Re: Anyone from NeuLeve.bizl listening?

I can see a couple of obvious approaches for getting Neulevel's attention

- Their web site lists two Registry Relationship Managers, one with popup contact info
	Ivor Sequeira - Senior Manager, European, African, and Middle Eastern Regions
	571-434-5776 [email protected]
		(That appears to be +1-571-434-5776 ...)

- Their whois entry for neulevel.biz lists
	 +1.5714345757 as their phone number, fax +1.5714345758,
	and snailmail address list.
	http://www.whois.biz/whois.cgi?TLD=biz&WHOIS_QUERY=neulevel.biz&TYPE=DOMAIN&Search=Submit+Query

- They've got a snailmail address, you've got a lawyer and Fedex, 
	they've got a Nasty Letter....   Since the requests to use
	your DNS server were bogus, you could probably file a John Doe suit
	and do discovery on Neulevel, but a Nasty Letter is probably enough.

- They've got an online trademark dispute process.
	It's got pointers to ICANN dispute resolution mechanisms,
	which are more likely to get their attention than random email.
	Their entry point is [email protected]
	Normally, if somebody registers that 
		annoying-little-spammer.com has nameserver 1.2.3.4,
	you'd be using this to complain that you own the name
	annoying-little-spammer.com, but you could try using it
	to complain that you own 1.2.3.4, and maybe even contend that
	since the registrant falsely listed you as the nameserver for the domain,
	that it's theft of service and you ought to be awarded ownership of the name.

- You might also drop a note to ICANN about the lack of a phone number
	on their web site and the lack of email responsiveness.

- Personally I like the suggestion that someone had that you
	start serving DNS for the fake names, either pointing to 127.0.0.3
	or to a CNAME pointing to Annoying-spammers-forged-their-DNS-again.com,
	which is some disposable address block on which you run a web site 
	and stub email server explaining that it's not your fault.
