1.5 Approval of Revisions to UDRP Implementation Rules for Electronic Submission


Whereas, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) was adopted
and implemented in 1999 to provide efficient and cost-effective means to resolve
disputes about usage and intellectual property rights in domain names;

qWhereas, the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (Rules)
set forth uniform base-line rules for UDRP Providers to follow when
administering UDRP cases;

Whereas, historically the Rules have required for UDRP complaints and responses
to be submitted in hard copy and electronic form to the opposing party and to
the provider;

Whereas, removing the requirement for hard-copy submission of complaints and
responses could result in significant reduction in paper used in UDRP
proceedings and in savings on printing and postage costs, and is likely to
further enhance the efficiency of the UDRP process;

Whereas, the provision of written notice of the UDRP complaint filing should
still be provided to a UDRP respondent, and under the proposed amendments to the
Rules, the UDRP providers must provide respondents with written notice to all
physical addresses and/or facsimile numbers as required today;

Whereas, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) proposed amendments
to the Rules to allow for this electronic filing implementation change;

Whereas, the proposed amendments to the Rules were posted for public comment for
30 days < http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-13jul09-en.htm >,
and received significant support in principle, including support from UDRP
providers, so long as the hard-copy written notice requirement was explicit;

Whereas, some commenters expressed concern over the ability for UDRP providers
to unilaterally modify their Supplemental Rules for items that are not
specifically reserved for the UDRP providers to address, which may result in
conflict with the standard Rules, and potentially impact the uniformity of the
UDRP process;

Whereas, subsequent to the public comment period WIPO submitted revised
amendments to the Rules to make the requirement for written notice more
explicit;

Resolved (2009.10.30__), the proposed amendments to the Implementation Rules for
the UDRP as proposed by WIPO on 17 September 2009
< http://www.icann.org/correspondence/wilbers-to-jeffrey-17sep09-en.pdf >
are approved.
