Response from MTA

IMTJ has contacted Renee Stephano, President of the MTA, requesting an explanation of the above actions and specifically a response to the following questions:

1.      Does the MTA intend to transfer or to request the transfer of the disputed domains to the existing brand owners – Bumrungrad Hospital, EMTC, Arab Health (Informa) and QHA Trent?

2.       In terms of MTA activity and policy on domain names and online marketing:

a.       Does the MTA or its executives hold other domain names that either closely relate to or are misspellings of existing medical tourism brand and trade names?

b.      Are any of these domain names used to re-direct visitors to the MTA web site, as is the case with www.brumrungrad.com?

c.       Does the MTA recommend the practice of domain speculation and multiple domain registration to its members?

d.      Does the MTA  support the ICANN rules on domain registrations and support compliance with these as sound business practice?

 Despite repeated requests via email and phone, the MTA has declined to comment on the above.
