I want to appeal | CvKB

When can a .nl registrant appeal to the C&AB? The General Terms and Conditions for .nl Registrants allow the current, former or prospective registrant of a .nl domain name to appeal to the C&AB against a decision made by SIDN. An appeal can be made under the following circumstances:

2. SIDN has reversed a new domain name registration or an update to an existing registration, or has turned down a request to reverse a registration or update.

Under certain circumstances, Article 13 of the General Terms and Conditions for .nl Registrants allows SIDN to unilaterally reverse the registration of a .nl domain name. It also allows SIDN to unilaterally reverse an update to an existing registration under certain circumstances. Updates include registrant changes and transfers. If SIDN does either of those things, you can appeal to the C&AB against SIDN's decision. You can also appeal if you ask SIDN to reverse a registration or an update, and SIDN refuses.

4. SIDN has refused a request to opt out of publishing personal details.

Article 23, clause 4, of the General Terms and Conditions for .nl Registrants allows the current or prospective registrant of a .nl domain name to make an 'opt-out request', i.e. a reasoned request to have certain personal details withheld from the public section of the Domain Name Register and replaced with their registrar's details. Detailed information about opting out is available on sidn.nl. If you make an opt-out request and SIDN rejects it, you can appeal to the C&AB against SIDN's decision.

The valid grounds for an appeal are defined in SIDN's General Terms and Conditions for .nl Registrants. They are defined quite narrowly, so please think carefully before making an appeal.

The rules mean that only appeals about certain types of decision can be considered by the C&AB. If your grievance relates to anything else, the C&AB cannot help you. For information about other possible ways of resolving your grievance, see SIDN's website.
