[gtld-council] GNSO PDP Dec 05: Dispute Resolution Models

[Liz Williams <liz.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Description:

Colleagues

Further to a request  made during the Los Angeles meetings and a  
reminder on the GNSO Council call last night, please find attached a  
simplified chart which sets out a range of dispute resolution models  
and their application.  This chart should be read in conjunction with  
the draft Implementation Plan which is in the updated version of the  
draft Final Report.
The purpose of the document is to facilitate further discussion of  
best practice dispute resolution models that could reasonably be used  
during the new TLDs application process.
The Committee has discussed at length the system used by WIPO to  
resolve disputes about name registration.  The development of any  
dispute resolution model for the application could be based upon that  
which is used by WIPO but the purpose of any dispute resolution model  
in the new TLDs system is to resolve disputes between applicants or  
between applicants and ICANN.  It is not about name registration  
disputes which may appear after an applicant has established its  
registry operations.
This is meant as the start point of discussions and we look forward  
to further discussion in Lisbon.
Liz
