Just a few thoughts that I believe echo what David said.  The "settlement form" 
cannot be the full agreement between the parties.  Clearly the provider is not 
in a position to weigh in on if any payments or covenants in the agreement are 
met.  We could provide a settlement form that allows the parties to simply 
check a box as to what they want from the limited universe of options:

1.    Transfer this list of  domain names from R to C

2.    Delete/cancel this list of domain names.
Then the form can provide a place for contact information and transfer 
information.

Any option where R keeps the domain names can be implemented simply through C 
withdrawing its complaint.  Nothing needs to be done here.

We could receive the form, signed by both parties, and forward it on to the 
Registrar.  There will be no policing or checking to see if anyone got paid or 
what-have-you.  If there are contractual terms that are not performed, it will 
be up to the parties to sue it out.

Apart from my routine grumbling that the Provider has no place sticking its 
nose into the "outside the UDRP" contract negotiations between two parties, 
this would be something I could live with <hopes that the extra hassle is 
mitigated by the prompter and more responsive verifications...>  :)

settlement option A

In light of the feedback received so far, would the following reflect your 
comments (note, I did add one sentence to reflect that settlement could also 
include that the domain name remains with the respondent):

Option A: (1) parties ask for suspension, (2) parties settle, (3) parties 
submit a standardized "settlement form" to UDRP provider, (4) UDRP provider 
confirms to the registrar, copying both the Complainant and the Respondent, 
whether the terms of the settlement indicate Respondent agreement to the 
transfer or cancellation of the disputed domain name(s) to the complaint, [or 
Complainant agreement that domain name(s) remain with the Respondent] (5) 
settlement agreement is implemented by registrar (6) Complainant confirms the 
implementation to the UDRP Provider and (7) provider dismisses the case.

If not, please feel free to suggest additional edits.

Thanks,

Marika

Also, it would not be practicable in any event, in my view, to "confirm details 
of the settlement" in general terms (settlements and their terms can take many 
forms, which may go beyond parameters of the UDRP) - if we would need to go 
further down this route, it would really only be feasible, in my view, to 
confirm whether the terms of the settlement indicate Respondent agreement to 
the transfer or cancellation of the disputed domain name(s) to the Complainant, 
or not.  (In cases of any ambiguity, provider would not confirm).

If so confirmed by the provider to the registrar, copying both Complainant and 
Respondent, it would then need to be for the registrar to implement the 
party-agreed (provider-confirmed) transfer of the disputed domain name from the 
Respondent to the Complainant, or its cancellation.

Best,
David

Hi Volker,

I believe that is what (4) says: 'provider issues notice to registrar to 
confirm the details of the settlement'. Maybe the strikethrough / bolded 
language did not make this clear?

Hi Marika,

no, as this change to (4) would change the entire purpose of this clause and 
make our argument ad absurdum. As registrars, we cannot be in the position to 
"confirm the details of the settlement" as this could entail legal review that 
we cannot provide. It should really be the provider confirming the details of 
the settlement to the registrar.

Best,

Volker
Dear All (and especially Kristine and David R-T),

As discussed during yesterday's meeting concerning the options for settlement, 
it appears that the majority of WG members is either strongly or moderately in 
favour of option A, with only the UDRP Providers participating in this WG 
strongly in favour of option B. In order to address the concerns raised by the 
UDRP Providers, those on the call yesterday would like to explore whether the 
following, slightly modified version of option A, including implementation 
guidance, would make it acceptable to the UDRP Providers, noting that 
additional edits could definitely be explored (please note that I also 
identified an additional question when revising the current language):

Option A: (1) parties ask for suspension, (2) parties settle, (3) parties 
inform provider, (4) provider issues order notice to registrar to confirm the 
details of the settlement change the holder details or delete the domain name, 
(5) that settlement is carried out by the registrar change or deletion happens, 
(6) complainant confirms change or deletion is complete [question - should it 
be the complainant or the registrar that confirms that the settlement has been 
carried out?] , and (7) provider dismisses the case.

Implementation guidance: The provider notice confirming the settlement could be 
a standardised form issued by the UDRP Provider to the complainant and 
respondent at the time a suspension is requested to discuss settlement. Such 
form would have to be executed by both parties (or their representatives) and 
would confirm that the parties have settled and request that the domain name(s) 
subject to the proceedings a) remain with the respondent, b) be transferred to 
the complainant (details of the latter for each contact set would have to be 
specified, or c) be deleted.

Please share any comments / edits you may have with the mailing list.

With best regards,

Marika
