47- We are not currently accepting dispute requests to " adopt an abandoned
48- package" or " Report Squatting" as we re-evaluate and update the overall
49- dispute process.
47+ We are not currently accepting dispute requests due to lack of activity
48+ related to a specfic name. If you do not have a reasonable claim
49+ to the name you are requesting, we will likely deny the request.
