eResolution says ICANNs UDRP is Corrupt.Or, to use their words, tilted from the
outset.
eResolution, as you know, is one of ICANNs Uniform Domain Dispute Resolution
Policy providers.
eResolution is quitting ICANNs UDRP.
They admit that they cannot
compete with the corrupt United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO.org).
Even their own Canadian government went to UN WIPO - "while claiming
unfailing support for Canadian know-how in e-commerce" - rather than them.
With
30 domain names - it was at much greater cost to Canadian taxpayers - but they stood
better chance of winning.
"And that is how the market share of eResolution kept
on shrinking to a point where the proceeds no longer covered the costs of maintaining
the service."
Press release: eResolution leaves worldwide domain name dispute resolution
behind.
A few quotes more from eResolution Press Release:

But
the accreditation as provider of the World Intellectual Property Organization, a
United Nations agency which contributed the draft of the UDRP and whose purpose is
to enhance the protection of intellectual property, tilted the balance from the outset.
"Be
that as it may, said Professor Karim Benyekhlef, eResolution's president, it is but
an open secret that lawyers advising their clients in domain name cases have no scruples
about quoting the figures and saying that the odds are better with a given provider.
*******
WIPO
are the provider of choice, winning most cases for the 'prosecution' - they are obviously
corrupt.
Usual disclaimer for the litigation mad and greedy lawyers: All is my
considered and informed opinion. However, nobody has yet proved me wrong.
In the
interests of balance: Corruption has yet to be proved in a court of Law.
