University cybersquatting

["Cyber Ranger" <i_belong@hotmail.com>]

I wanted to get your opinion on the issue of cybersquatting.  In light of 
the efforts which Universities have exerted over the decades to promote 
their brands, we implicitly understand the associated value.  Unfortunately 
there are commercial entities which are trying to cash in our efforts.  In 
particual, there is an organization by the name of Zuniversity.com which is 
cybersquatting on an immense cache of University domain names.   Following 
is the registration for ZMizzouTigers and a partial listing of other 
domains.

Can you suggest any course of action to protect us from domain poaching?

Signed,
A concerned cyber citizen
