   Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure and Rules

5 March 2013

An updated version of the Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS) 
Procedure 
<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 168 KB] and the URS Rules are now available for download.
The URS is one of several new Rights Protection Mechanisms available in 
the New gTLD Program. It complements the existing UDRP by offering a 
lower-cost, faster path to relief for rights holders experiencing the 
most clear-cut cases of infringement.
The URS Procedure defines the URS claims process. The Rules will help 
service providers implement URS in a consistent manner.
Since the last URS Procedure was posted on 4 June 2012, minor revisions 
have been made in the present rather than future tense. Other revisions 
clarify and simplify some provisions as well as make minor typographical 
corrections. Also, a set of Rules 
<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-04mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 
82 KB] has been developed and added, similar to the Uniform Domain Name 
Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) rules, to provide guidance on all 
aspects of the URS proceedings.
In addition to the Rules posted by ICANN, each URS service provider is 
expected to produce supplemental rules to help standardize conduct for 
that provider's interactions with complainants and respondents, but that 
are not inconsistent with the Procedure or the Rules.
The URS was developed by the community, for the community and is another 
testament to the multistakeholder model.
