Subject: [bc-gnso] For FINAL approval by 28-Oct: BC Comment on Accreditation of 
UDRP providers

Our rapporteur Phil Corwin has done a masterful job responding to edits and 
comments from several BC members over the past week.  Attached is Phil’s 
‘final’ version.

According to our Charter, “ If no substantively opposing comments are received 
the position will be deemed approved.”

So please use the remaining 6 days in our review period to register any 
substantive opposition to the BC filing these comments with ICANN on 28-Oct.

Thanks again to Phil and to all the members who contributed to this effort.

--Steve

This draft comment is being circulated today (14-Oct) so that BC members will 
have 14 days to review, revise, and consider approval before the ICANN deadline 
of 28-Oct-2010.

The attached comment was drafted by Phil Corwin and was polished for submission 
by Mike Rodenbaugh.  Phil’s original note is shown at the bottom of this email, 
and contains some contextual material that may be helpful in your consideration 
of this draft.

This draft comment is in response to ICANN’s proposal to recognize a new domain 
name dispute provider.   For background on this proposal, see below, or at 
http://icann.org/en/public-comment/#acdr-proposal

Explanation/Background: ICANN has received a proposal from the Arab Center for 
Domain Name Dispute Resolution (ACDR) to be recognized as one of the official 
dispute resolution providers under the UDRP. The proposal was submitted 
pursuant to the process specified at 
http://www.icann.org/en/dndr/udrp/provider-approval-process.htm.

The ACDR is jointly established by the Arab Intellectual Property Mediation and 
Arbitration Society (AIPMAS) and the Arab Society for Intellectual Property 
(ASIP), with headquarters in Amman, Jordan and additional offices in other Arab 
Countries. Both the AIPMAS (established in 1987) and ASIP promote the 
activities of the Arab Center of Mediation and Arbitration, established in 
2003, active in resolving conflicts related to intellectual property through 
international arbitrators. If approved, the ACDR would be the first Approved 
UDRP Dispute Resolution Service Provider headquartered in an Arab state.

At its 5 August 2010 meeting, the Board approved staff’s recommendation to 
publish the ACDR proposal for a public comment for a period of not less than 30 
days.

Upon completion of the public comment period, ICANN staff will analyze the 
comments received and evaluate further recommendations to the Board on 
proceeding with the ACDR proposal.
