NZ Government gets smack on the hand
UDRP panel accused New Zealand government with reverse hijacking on the newzealand.com UDRP filing. A summary of the decision by BNA Internet Law News said:

"A three-member WIPO ICANN UDRP panel has ruled against the Government of New Zealand in its bid to obtain the transfer of the newzealand.com domain. The panel found that the country does not have a trademark in the name New Zealand. Further, the panel termed the action "baseless" and "misconceived" as it unanimously found that the government engaged in reverse domain name hijacking in bringing the action."

This is in contrast to the newzealand.biz STOP case that the opposite outcome occurred.
