the industry's largest registrar, Go Daddy has processed numerous UDRP cases, 
and we have developed processes to ensure that they are handled efficiently 
while maintaining ICANN compliance. When processing a dispute, it is important 
for a registrar to maintain the status quo (locking a domain name) during the 
pendency of the case so that the domain name is available for the registrar to 
implement a UDRP decision, or cancel proceedings if there is a settlement or 
suspension of the case. We believe domain names should be locked upon 
reasonable notification of a dispute to prevent cyber-flight (aka "registrar 
hopping"), as well as to minimize the cost of tracking down and retrieving a 
disputed name. </FONT></DIV>

mce_style="font-size:12pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt;"><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>For 
registrars that do not receive a high volume of UDRP cases, we believe it would 
be helpful to provide guidelines that they can follow (Best Practices) during a 
dispute.&nbsp; In this way, registrars can effectively know what to expect, and 
what actions to take. This would provide consistency across the registrar 
community, so all parties involved can expect uniform treatment during a UDRP 
dispute.</FONT></DIV></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
