Since several of the public comments we received suggested that UDRP
review consider both its effectiveness against cybersquatting and its
fairness to non-cybersquatting registrants, and since the comments in
the Draft Report itself support that balance, I propose the following
[[bracketed]] changes to Recommendation #1 in 5.1.3:


The RAPWG recommends the initiation of a Policy Development Process by
requesting an Issues Report to investigate the current state of the
UDRP, and consider revisions [[DELETE: to address cybersquatting]] if
appropriate. This effort should consider:
 • How the UDRP has addressed the problem of cybersquatting [[ADD: and
fairness to non-cybersquatting registrants]] to date, and any
insufficiencies/inequalities associated with the process.
 • Whether the definition of cybersquatting [[in]] the existing UDRP
language needs to be reviewed or updated.


Thanks,
--Wendy
