No, it is not the reverse of newzealand.biz. Neither arbitrator ruled in favour of the New Zealand case. With newzealand.biz the reallocation occured by default (the respondent did not put up an argument). If you read the arbitrator's comments, it is clear that he did not support the NZ case at all.
The newzealand.com decision is quite consistent with the other, if just a little more outspoken.
Will we now be able to persuade people not to waste our money chasing these ludicrous battle. It's just the name of a publication. They'll be fighting legal battles with New Zealand Woman's Weekly next. If you use Google to look up New Zealand, newzealand.com doesn't register - top hit is www.govt.nz - you have to search for newzealand to get there. Domain names are not the way to direct people to you - search engines are. Merry Christmas and a good New Year to all!
