Whereas in January 2008 the Czech Arbitration Court (CAC) was authorized as an approved provider for dispute resolution services under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy;
Whereas in June 2008, the CAC proposed to test two services allowing for electronic filings and simplified service for the administration of UDRP proceedings before the CAC;
Whereas ICANN posted the CAC's proposal for piloted services for public comment and did not received any objection;
Whereas the CAC's pilot period expired on 12 April 2009 and no material problems were reported with CAC's system;
Whereas CAC wishes to implement the piloted services on a permanent basis in providing UDRP proceedings; and
Whereas the piloted services do not require an amendment to the Rules governing UDRP proceedings.
It is hereby resolved (2009-05-21-04) that the Board approves CAC's request to implement its piloted electronic filing services on a going forward basis, including the: (1) simplified filing of signed hard copies; and (2) the use of the "electronic only" signature authentication process to allow for electronic signing and filing of documents, and corresponding hard-copy service by the CAC.
