GNSO IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protections Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group
Summary description of the meeting – This GNSO Policy Development Process was launched in June 2014 to examine whether changes to the existing dispute resolution processes at the second level in all gTLDs (i.e. the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) procedure) were needed to address the specific needs of international governmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs). The PDP Working Group published its preliminary recommendations for public comment in January 2017, with the public comment period closing on 1 March 2017. These recommendations deal with a number of issues, including that of standing to file a complaint under the UDRP and URS and IGO jurisdictional immunity, for which the Working Group had sought the advice of an external legal expert. In this session, the Working Group will discuss its preliminary recommendations with the community, with a view toward its preparing a set of final recommendations for the GNSO Council before ICANN59 in June. All are welcome to attend, especially those with an interest in domain name disputes and IGO concerns regarding abuse of their names and acronyms in the domain name system.
