["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a link to his book:

I have not read it and do not know the substance, but he is a lecturer at a 
university on the subject and probably should be invited.

Margie,

I know Konstantinos recently published a book on the UDRP.  Shouldn't we see if 
he is available?

Subject: [gnso-udrp-dt] Action Items From Today's UDRP-DT Call

Dear All,

Here is a brief summary of the action items arising from today's call related 
to the UDRP Webinar scheduled for May 10th:


·         I will reach out the UDRP providers to clarify my request for 
recommendations for speakers.  Specifically, the request  was intended to 
identify individuals  that quantitatively had the most appearances before the 
provider in each of the categories.   This clarification seeks to use objective 
rather than subjective metrics to identify speaks in each categories 
(panelists, respondents, complainants, etc.).

·         I will contact the Registrar Stakeholder Group to identify up to 3 
individuals from registrars which implement the largest numbers of UDRP cases, 
from which one speaker would be selected that could speak on behalf of the 
registrar stakeholder group on issues that are of concern to the RrSG as a 
whole, and not reflective of only the views of his/her registrar.

·         With regard to selection of the speaker from the academic 
perspective,  the DT discussed Mary's recommendations of Michael Froomkin 
(Miami) and Michael Geist (Ottawa)-it was noted that these individuals may no 
longer be conducting research/analysis on the UDRP and that their publications 
on the topic may be dated.   The DT is seeking to confirm this assumption 
and/or identify other academics with recent work on the UDRP.  [Mary- perhaps 
you can elaborate on your understanding of their recent work?]

·         Since several providers were unable to provide recommendations by 
today's call due to the Easter holidays,  the DT deferred reviewing recommended 
speakers, and will finalize the list on Friday's call.  To date-  the following 
names have been received:
Hong Kong Arbitration Centre suggests:

·         UDRP panelists

    *   Mr. Christopher TO
    *   Mr. Anthony WU
 *   Attorneys
    *   Ms. Gabriela Kennedy  (Represents Complainants)
 *   National Arbitration Forum (NAF) suggests:

o   Panelists:

§  Sally Able

§  David Safran

o   Complainants (outside counsel)

§  Paul Mc Grady

§  Andy Coombs

§  David Steele

o   Complainants (inside counsel)

§  Renee Reuter

o   Respondents (outside counsel)

§  John Berryhill



·         The DT is considering including a representative from ICANN 
Compliance (Khalil Rasheed) to participate in the Webinar, to briefly share its 
experience of issues that arise with regard to implementation of the UDRP.

The next call is this Friday Apr 29 at 1500 UTC due to the need to send out 
invitations to speakers this week.

Best regards,

Margie
