Ummm... I said take a look at the sequence of events in the strick.com case.
The lawsuit was not filed in the jurisdiction specified by the UDRP. The
complainant always retains the right to file a lawsuit in any jurisdiction
that will hear the case, and preferably one remote from the respondent.

No. Rule 4(k) says a suit can be brought even before there is a decision.

...and then the registrant bears the cost of pursuing the litigation, and
likely in a place she would prefer not to do so.
