3 piece(s) of evidence not counted — why
  • A1: entity not anchored: no canonical GitHub organization from an independent authority; proof of control is not proof of ownership
  • A3: registrar (Gandi SAS) is not a brand-protection registrar
  • A4: DV certificate carries no organization name (most modern tech companies use DV; this is expected)
