3 piece(s) of evidence not counted — why
  • A8: repository homepage () does not point to this domain
  • A3: fewer than 1095 days until expiry; not the long prepaid term typical of corporate registrations
  • A4: certificate organization (International Business Machines Corporation) is not the anchored entity (IBM, ibm)
