& Associates and “Glorya Kaufman Dance Foundation,” formerly
Domains By Proxy, Inc.
I am listing
below the incorrect statements in blue; my statements in black and I have attached
formal documents in support of my
statements.
- Procedural
Complainant provided in its Complaint evidence that it
formerly owned the Domain names
and that Carolyn B. Baker & Associates moved the Domain Names into its own control.
and that Carolyn B. Baker & Associates moved the Domain Names into its own control.
As an
independent contractor, I hired Orabor to create the Glorya Kaufman
websites…actually
there were two 1st The Glorya Kaufman Foundation, then when she wanted to do Dance The
Glorya Kaufman Dance Foundation. The websites were registered by Orabor and on the
credit card of John Schuning from Orabor. I am attaching an email from Orabor that states
that they are my subcontractors. When they resigned from the project they stated to GK
that as subcontractors to me, they were not willing to continue with the project in any way.

When the website
was finished, John put the registrations in my name (as I was the only person
that they were in contact with their contractor and we had to figure out how to get them paid the
back end of their contract (by this time J.R. Reed had resigned as Treasurer of GKDF and Gk
had stopped paying everyone from marketing to her soil engineers who working to legitimize
her building without permits on the estate.

back end of their contract (by this time J.R. Reed had resigned as Treasurer of GKDF and Gk
had stopped paying everyone from marketing to her soil engineers who working to legitimize
her building without permits on the estate.
As luck would
have it GK called Orabor in September to try to get free changes to the website
(eliminate myself and Ron from the site) so we used that as a way to get Orabor paid. They told
GK they would make changes after they received payment on their final invoice, the check
120days past due arrived in 2 days…upon receipt Orabor notified GK that they did not wish to
continue if I was not involved. Shortly there after George Merlis whom I had hired to coach GK
for the speeches I wrote for her, aggressively demanded from Orabor the codes etc. for the
website, (these former friends of mine from Warner bros are artists and not prepared for aggression
and hostility) they gave them to George, I switched the codes, GK intimidated the programmer
into giving her the new codes, I switched the GKDF.net server. She owed/owes me 30k+ in
American express expenses for events and travel with and for her and the foundation, and 25k
in payments on my contract, $2,500 April invoice for speeches and website content. $7500 in
Foundation phone service and foundation mailing address (p.o.box). The letter that I sent
holding the website hostage came from an online legal page that attempted to help small
businesses recoup their money from deadbeat clients. (attached are emails and contracts
that substantiate the claims above)

- Factual background
In 2008, Mrs. Kaufman founded the Glorya Kaufman Dance
Foundation…
I did this on
her behalf however my role has been misrepresented. In 2008 after a botched
attempt
by GK’s accountant Frank Lee and attorney to create another trust foundation. (which Frank
would have trustee control) which was not what she wanted … when she sent me the draft I
was horrified…. I said tell them he can do all these things with your permission ….GK said well
he always asks me etc. I said well just tell them…Frank went Ballistic!!! Mrs. Kaufman was flying
to Paris and I told her that with her permission I would have a nonprofit Glorya Kaufman Dance
Foundation created by the time she returned. I hired Foundation Source; I was the contact
(attached signed affidavit by GK) and secretary of the Foundation. I also instructed with GK’s
permission Foundation Source to transfer assets of the Glorya Kaufman Charitable Foundation
and close that trust foundation. (attached my correspondence with FS and govt documents that
bear my name/ notorized authorization by G for me to point person for foundation setup etc/
portion of old foundation/emails from GK that are clear re: my position.)

Over the years…..
The Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation
Inner City Arts
The Los Angeles Music Center
The Glorya Kaufman Dance Pavilion at the Alvin Ailey Dance
Foundation
The Glorya Kaufman Dance Academy at the Inner City Arts
center
Glorya Kaufman Presents at the Music Center
All of these
projects were conceived and orchestrated by Carolyn B. Baker. Mrs. Kaufman wanted
to be the dance philanthropist but had no credentials and no recognition thus I created a marketing
plan and each of the above recipients worked with me to create a plan that would benefit their
needs and elevate G K’s profile in the Philanthropic community giving her entrĂ©e into the dance
ambiance. My question to them was how much do you need and what can we name to promote
Mrs. Kaufman I would put together a proposal with my contact at each and then take it to GK.
go through the 6 months of hell that it took to get anything done (basically because Mrs. Kaufman
has no understanding of how business works as her exposure to the real world was limited
however she was constantly combative and one never knew from one day to the next when
she would insist on some destructive input. (attached emails and proposal info that substantiate
the above)

One day I drove
down the hill with Mrs. K and said, ‘ I am going to put together a coalition
with
you and Ailey and the City and the Music Center’…her response was, ‘how are you going to do
that? I laughed and said ”I don’t know …but I’m going to.” We’re going to have dance and
festivals called Glorya Kaufman presents I did exactly that. (attached the trail of the MC from
honoring/ award/speech/etc that substantiates my statements)

Alvin Ailey
(The Glorya Kaufman scholars, the GK Pavilion, GK/Ailey camp Los Angeles) we
were going to NY for an event for Juilliard and at the suggestion of a friend went to see the Alvin
Ailey dance theater. I saw this as a great opportunity to credential her in dance. They were in the
midst of a 50million endowment campaign and I asked how much would it take to make GK the
second major donor (first is the Weils – Citibank) and what could we name. Inner City Arts –
The Glorya Kaufman Dance Academy, MarVista Family Center Glory Kaufman Dance Center
was one of the first projects that I got her to fund beginning to give her recognition in the community
as a benevolent patron and begin her a legacy building. (Mar Vista She had reneged on a promise
to a City councilmember for his and the Mayors favorite project which I considered to be Political
suicide especially since we were trying to clean up her image in Los $300k was the gift, somehow
the last $100k was deposited in an account that was closed in AIG stock which when discovered
by the agency had turned into $16k, suspiciously. However, GK refused to discuss this with myself
or the executive director of the charity. Her then overall accountant Frank Lee, whom I understand
remains her personal accountant, did this.)

Music Center
– started with putting together a plan to elevate her profile in Los Angeles
and in
Dance because Dance so needed a Angel. Ailey was coming to Los Angeles and the gift had
already been made to them. The Los Angeles -Ailey at the Music Center gala is a fund raising
event for the Music Center – so we came up with honoring her at the gala. The Music Center
came with the idea of the Tour-de-Force award. So that was set…in the meantime working
with the Music center I learned that the Dance department was in jeopardy because of the
economic times etc. This hit my mind as a marketing/publicity chance of a lifetime. No one
including myself thought that in the middle of a recession she would agree to this. I presented
it to her lying on the flour of her living room …and she could see it and said yes. WOW….
we (talking about Jerry Digney who I brought aboard as publicist…whom she hasn’t paid either)
held a major press conference….I wrote a major speech for her the awards night, over 300
newspapers and television picked this up as the largest gift to dance ever! The naming that I
chose was Glorya Kaufman presents (Thus when any dance comes to the music center it is
Glorya Kaufman presents the Bolshoi @ the Music Center GK’s public profile went from low
to high Between November 2007 and March 2009 due to projects created and executed by
marketing and publicity. (attached trail of emails/proposals and correspondence that substantiate
the above)

Publicity eluded to New York Times – add paid for by
Ailey that listed her among the donors.
She has never been in the NYT for anything other than that. ( Part of my branding requests for
Mrs. K's endowment to AAT Proposal attachement verifies)

Carolyn B. Baker was employed as Executive Director of
the Foundation for a time until
March 2009 Ms. Baker subsequently continued to work for the Complainant as an outside
contractor via her firm Carolyn B. Baker & Associates and her work included website
development work and marketing services. (I was never employed as an Executive Director of
the Foundation; I lent my considerably nationally well-known professional name as Executive
Director, so that the Foundation could appear as a real functioning entity and not a kitchen
personal foundation. Mrs. Kaufman said she wanted a public image…a legacy. Now she says
after March I was an independent contractor, which contradicts her posture to everyone else
that my involvement ended in March of 2009. …(By contract her email in July ...60 days….
payment through December by automatic 6 month renewable contract) (attached) I have spoken
with the IRS about this claim, filed and been denied unemployment because there was no
un-tax paid by GK, California State, and Social Security are all unaware of payments to me
as an employee of Glorya Kaufman or the Glorya Kaufman foundation. No FICA, SDI,
fed tax withheld, state tax withheld etc. What Mrs. Kaufman fails to mention is that I set
up the Glorya Kaufman Dance foundation was the contact (by signed notarized by GK –
attached) and served as Secretary until I resigned I believe in June of 2009 (attached documents)
concerned with the fact that she refused to operate the foundation as a Legitimate 501c3 and
I did not want my name attached to what will potentially be an IRS problem.

I was always
paid as an outside contractor.
The state of California and the IRS have no records
of any withholdings, FICA, unemployment etc. Because it never happened. (I have attached a
copy of my initial 6 month independent contractor contract signed by Glorya Kaufman and my
long term contract through 2009) I was always paid by invoice to J. Ronald Reed who paid me
and all of the billings related to her marketing and development etc so that she could charge them
to her credit card and receive mileage…after executing a successful November event at Mrs.
Kaufman’s estate, I was given a new contract and a fee raise in December of 2007. That contract
was in automatic renewal and a 60-day notice. Mrs. Kaufman has to many people claimed that
she let me go in March. I have attached an email by a person who had no authority and then by
Mrs. Kaufman, I was secretary of the Foundation and therefore couldn’tfd be fired in that manner)
by email first from a friend’s husband, and then the friend (she called her daughter –not) later Mrs.
Kaufman sent me an email. It was clear that Mrs. Kaufman and her uninformed advisors had no
knowledge of the fact that a: I only held the title of Executive Director in order to give the
Foundation credibility….and since I was an independent contractor I could NOT be paid by the
Foundation as an Executive Director, b: That a corporate secretary has to be voted out or resign
as I later did due to the continued improprieties due to ignorance or malice that were in opposition
to my ethics as a professional. I knew she was under a lot of stress and just not herself…so I
ignored her emails and as you can see she swore to in her statement to WIPO I continued as
an independent the only revision would be my Always contracted as an independent from
September of 2007 to what should have been December 2009 if contracts and truth meant anything
to Mrs. Kaufman and her current advisors. I have included some emails that show I worked on until
she sent her July termination which would mean that I was due to be paid through December of 2009

In Fall 2009, the Domain Names were removed from
Complainant’s control. Specifically, in
November 2009, the registrant of the domain names <gloryakaufmandancefoundation.com> and <gloryakaufmandancefoundation.net> was changed from Complainant’s name to Carolyn B. Baker
& Associates. In October 2009, the registrar for the domain name
<gloryakaufmandancefoundation.org> was changed from Network Solutions to
GoDaddy.com, and the contact information was changed to Respondent’s contact information.

Orabor the
company that put together the website were subcontractors to me. Ron Reed

reasurer of the foundation paid all bills s hat they could go on Mrs. K’s credit card for mileage,
except the closing invoice (Ron was no longer functioning as treasurer of the foundation as he
had been subject to Mrs Kaufman’s unintelligent refusal to pay vendors (she is famous for this)
Orabor worked solely with me for design approval and content/ which I wrote and provided and
was paid for by separate invoice from my monthly marketing contract fee. I have attached an
email from an owner of Orabor, stating that they were my sub-contractor and their refusal to work
with GK without my involvement. I have also included emails that show how like most of the
vendors to the foundation and estate designers/soil engineers/marketing/publicity/etc. Mrs.
Kaufman refused to pay Orabor their final invoice until she wanted an additional webpage
(one that would not include Ron or myself –attached)I instructed them to say “of course, however
the final invoice needs to be paid. “ It was sent within 2 days. After which Orabor informed
GK that as a subcontractor to me they were not willing to work if I was not involved (attached)

names were in John of Orabors name until july/August when Orabor had finished
and they turned the domain names over to me their contractor. They never talked to Mrs
Kaufman until September when she called to request changes…we got Orabor paid…Orabor
resigned the project then…GK had George Merlis her speech trainer who I had hired to work
with her. Send a threatening email to Orabor demanding the codes…they sent them…. I changed
the codes. Gk called the programmer and got the codes and changed them again. (The orabor
company are /were my friends Warner Records, they are artists and not equipped to deal

begun using a different domain name, <thegloryakaufmanfoundation.org>).
The domain name <gloryakaufmandancefoundation.com>
is being used for a pay-per-click website posted by the registrar, and the domain name <gloryakaufmandancefoundation.net> is being used for an “under construction” website.

The Glorya Kaufman Foundation. Org is filled with
misinformation and the unlawful use of
Logo’s and copywriter protected pictures. The organizations
are afraid to say anything to her for fear that she will stop paying her
pledges like she has done with UCLA (2million). Obviously contracts and pledges
mean nothing to her. (This is none of my business except these charities are my
contacts, which I brought to Mrs. K so I feel responsible for their
frustration.)

Parties’ Contentions
A. Complainant
Complainant claims that Respondent does not have any right
or legitimate interest under the UDRP,
and that Respondent’s unauthorized registration and use of the Domain Names constitutes bad faith.
and that Respondent’s unauthorized registration and use of the Domain Names constitutes bad faith.
The
authorization was not unlawful since I contracted the website, and since when
is attempting to
collect money owed to you BAD FAITH. Bad Faith is not paying for services because someone
thinks they are entitled to pay or not pay for services rendered based on a whim or even worse to
denigrate people who have done exceptional work for them which would include the architect of
her renowned estate grounds. …That is Bad Faith.

Discussion and Findings
A. Identical or Confusingly Similar
I agree.
B. Rights or Legitimate Interests
The record shows that Complainant owned the Domain Names,
and that Respondent was an
employee of, then contractor for, Complainant. Respondent became the registrant of the Domain
Names without Complainant’s permission or authorization. Respondent’s registration or acquisition
of the Domain Names as a former employee or contractor of Complainant does not demonstrate any
right to or legitimate interest in the Domain Names. In cases involving the registration of domain
names by employees, many UDRP panels have held that former employees do not have a right to
or legitimate interest in domain names incorporating the marks of their former employers. See, e.g.,
Ruby’s Diner, Inc. v. Joseph W. Popow, WIPO Case No. D2001-0868 (“An employee or former
employee is not a licensee, and thus has no authorization to use a company’s trademark or a
confusingly similar variation thereof without permission. The Policy contains no exception
providing a special right to use a trademark belonging to one’s employer or former employer in a
domain name. Consistent with such an interpretation, previous decisions have decisively refused
to recognize such a right or interest.”); Savino Del Bene Inc. v. Graziano Innocenti Gennari,
WIPO Case No. D2000-1133 (“…this Panel finds that, as a rule, former employees do not have
a legitimate right or interest in registering in their own name their former employer’s trademark
as a domain name.”).

The rest of this section, the demand which was no more
