Australian registry reviews local Dispute Resolution Policy
Launched 5 years ago, the auDRP is to come under review to ensure that it is still an effective mechanism for resolving domain name disputes.
Australian registry auDA is reviewing its own Dispute Resolution procedure in an effort to keep it as current and appropriate as possible.
The registry is calling for interested parties to submit comments. This can be done on the registry's website until September 21.
An "issues paper" sets the scene for the public consultation and the review process, summarizing auDRP proceedings since its inception on August 1, 2002 and asking a number of review questions.
auDRP facts and figures
From the launch of the auDRP up to July 31 this year, 99 complaints have been submitted involving 122 domain names.
Four DRP providers are approved for the auDRP. LEADR, the Association of Dispute Resolvers, has handled the most auDRP complaints (48) with WIPO the next most popular provider (37 complaints).
auDRP costs are AU$1,500 for a single panellist and AU$3,000 for a three person panel. These fees are fixed by auDA.
The current auDRP sets out 3 grounds for complaint:
the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a name, trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights;
the registrant has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name;
the domain name has been registered or subsequently used in bad faith.
