[gnso-lockpdp-wg] For your review - additional recommendation for inclusion in the report
Dear All, In response to the survey results (see http://www.surveymonkey.com/sr.aspx?sm=0DoeYkcEBk_2bCyn79SaLyEo8M4ESStqLAy7G 8iaJW3iY_3d) and the discussions during the last meeting, the WG has proposed to add the following recommendation to its report: Participating UDRP Respondents be granted an express option to request a four day extension should they so choose, with any such received four day extension request to be automatically granted, and the corresponding deadline extended by the UDRP Provider, at no cost to the Respondent. The availability of such automatic four day extension option on request should also be flagged by the UDRP Provider for the Respondent's information on commencement of the proceedings. The rationale for adding this recommendation is to address the concerns expressed during the public comment forum concerning the loss of informal response time as a result of the proposed change to no longer require the Complainant to notify the Respondent at the time of filing and would give those participating Respondents that actually need the extra four days the comfort of cost-neutral certainty where requested, without impacting the UDRP timelines overall. The WG also agreed that the other options considered to address this concern would also be reflected in the report to serve as background information. If anyone objects to this approach, please share your comments / concerns with the mailing list ahead of the next meeting. With best regards, Marika Attachment:
