Dear RegistrarSEC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Facebook),

I write on behalf of Stichting Registrar of Last Resort Foundation (RoLR) to request the registrant of the following domain name:
rr-facebook.com

The mailserver at mail.rr-facebook.com is being used to send silly automated emails like the one below. I am seeking to identify the registrant so I can give them a jolly good talking-to over some delicious tapas in Barcelona. 1

The information above should be provided by exactly Thu Oct 18 16:17:05 UTC 2018 in order to faciliate a timely restaurant reservation. I’m pretty sure that this is a lawful request under the European Working Lunch Directive.

Failure to comply with this request will involve absolutely no further action, because (let’s be honest) Compliance have enough on their plate already.

Yours faithfully,
Benedict Addis.

The fame and recognition of the above marks entitle Facebook to broad legal protection globally.

In order to investigate and prevent intellectual property infringement and contact infringing parties and relevant service providers, we request information regarding the following domain name:

  • [snipped some random DGA domain entirely unconnected with these trademarks]

We seek the following information1 consistent with the principles enumerated under Section 4 of the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data adopted by ICANN on May 18, 2018:

  2. Technical contact name, address, phone, fax number, and email address

  3. Administrative name, address, phone, fax number, and email address

To the extent that the requested information is believed to be subject to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/679), we submit this request pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of that Regulation. The information requested is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, namely (1) identifying the registered holder of a domain name and their contact information to investigate and respond to potential trademark infringement and (2) enforcing legal claims.

We seek this information by Thu Oct 18 04:17:05 GMT 2018 in order to facilitate immediate legal action against the registrant. Please provide the requested information by responding to this email. NOTE: Please do not change the CASE in the subject line.
