The Court says in a footnote that “because Verisign, the registry of the domain names [and is the .com and .net registry], is located in this judicial district, it is irrelevant that Verisign declined to submit a registrar certificate or other documentation with the Court to establish the Court’s authority over the domain names. See CNN, 177 F. Supp. 2d at 514 n.17. The registrar certificate merely serves to establish the domain name’s situs, an unnecessary step where, as here, the domain name registry is within the Court’s jurisdiction. (Emphasis added) See 15 USC §1125(d)(2)(C)(i)-(ii).”

This is a very useful decision for anyone with non-US registrar issues involving .com and .net domain names.
