ICANN holds that passive holding of a disputed domain name permits an unlawful inference of registration and domain use in bad faith. The other two tenets of disputed domains are that no use of the domain name or website that connected with the domain name is occurring, and that the domain holder is not widely known by that name.
For a good example, review the complaint filed with ICANN by West Coast University against a Chinese domain owner for www.wcuedu.us. The decision marks an ICANN enforcement of these elements and domain use dynamics.
