UK insurer initial to remove .xxx dispute - Request for .xxx domain name denied. United Kingdom insurance company BGL Group Limited, better known as CompareTheMarket.com, is the first complainant to lose a UDRP for a .xxx domain name. The company filed the complaint against UK resident Jon Watkins, who registered the domain back in December when .xxx became generally available. But as I’ve argued previously, it can be rather difficult to prove bad faith in the registration of a .xxx domain name. Most complainants ... read more ...

ICANN Board to Review UDRP Provider Relationship on Thursday - “And an actual contract?” That raises a very sticky problem with WIPO. WIPO is a treaty organization which is ordinarily immune from most legal actions. Signing a contract would necessarily expose them to suit under that contract, and that is not going to happen. Of course there is no ICANN requirement that WIPO be a UDRP provider either. Under ordinary principles of governance, we do not usually vest the policy making and adjudication functions in the same body (and certainly ... read more ...

New UDRP Goes into Effect Today – Still No Response from ICANN - Yes, we do disagree on that. I think that if we *had to* balance the interests, I do not hold domain owners up as more important than ethical and free trade. But, I can respect your position as being simply one of differing values. However, I don’t see that any legitimate registrants could possibly be harmed by this. *Legitimate* registrants are those who stay far from others’ IP rights and who update their Whois information. Seems kind of easy to do. Also, I disagree with ... read more ...

The 500 EUR fee will apply only in cases where the respondent does not reply to the complaint, and in which “there is no need for Panellists to produce a detailed decision”. If the domain ... read more ...

Comments 15-0 Against Expedited UDRP. So What Will ICANN Do? - Community feedback is pretty clear about Expedited UDRP. ICANN says it takes community feedback into consideration when managing the domain name system. But clearly it’s not a majority rule system. So here’s a clear cut case, involving the Czech Arbitration Court’s proposal to offer an “Expedited UDRP”. Out of 15 commentors, not a single person was in favor of the proposal. Zero. Zip. Nada. All 15 commentors were opposed to it either on principle or ... read more ...

Good Luck Finding a UDRP Arbitration Provider Contract with ICANN - No contract exists with UDRP providers. With two UDRP arbitration providers trying to change up the rules, attorney Jim Davies tried to get his hands on the contract between ICANN and its approved UDRP providers. He hit a stumbling block: there is none. You can see the details of his request for the contract in his public comments (submitted as an individual, not on behalf of his firm or clients) on ICANN’s web site. But it’s worth reprinting them here. I ... read more ...

Arbitrator Asks Good Questions About Expedited UDRP - Domain name arbitrator asks good questions about Expedited UDRP. The Hon. Neil Brown, a UDRP domain name arbitrator, has submitted comments to ICANN regarding Czech Arbitration Court’s plans for expedited UDRPs. He actually phrases them as rhetorical questions, but they certainly raise a number of issues. They’re worth reading in their entirety, but here’s a summary: Can the Expedited Decision proposal be implemented by amendments to the Supplemental Rules ... read more ...

The plans by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and Czech Arbitration Court (CAC) represent a major overhaul of UDRP policy, yet both organizations are trying to institute the change by merely adjusting their ... read more ...

Coming Soon: File a UDRP Domain Name Dispute for $250 - Arbitration provider wants to offer $250 expedited UDRPs. [Update: The 250 fee is actually in Euros, and is the panelist’s fee. CAC will also collect a 250 EUR fee, making the minimum fee 500 EUR]. Earlier this month I reported on WIPO’s plans to introduce a fast-track UDRP proceeding. It would cost less and be decided faster than traditional UDRPs. At the time, I predicted that WIPO’s competitors would follow suit because of venue shopping. It looks like ... read more ...
