First of all, a domainname is not your 'property', actually
it's no-one's property. And please don't explain what you mean
by PL administrator *stealing* *your* domain.

if you have a legal agreement with him, then just sue him for breaking it.

I am not sure that it makes sense to fill the courts
with domain name disputes that might be easily
handled, using the Internet, by the Internet community
in the "region" where the dispute is located. Using
the "neighbor net" approach, we see that the trustees
from Greece and Switzerland and the TLDs in between
can come together to help resolve these types of
disputes. One person can not do the job.

3:184     CH   (SWITZERLAND) <--------- Can these people help ?

As the picture above fills in, the dispute would be handled
even more local to the .PL domain. In an ideal case we
will have the 8 trustees for the .PL domain who can provide
a forum to give people a fair hearing. Working out from the
.PL domain, the trustees for the .SALT and .ROME domains
would be called upon to help. Not the whole world.

In summary, this is like a large auditorium. If someone
has an illness in one of the "seats" the entire population
does not have to rush to their rescue. In many cases,
the people local to the situation can resolve the problem.
Let's say the person faints. It might be a simple matter
of reviving them. The answer is not to bring the whole
world in and then to sue everyone.

Think global and act local...
