Proposal Suggests Changes to Domain Name UDRP
Domain Name Wire reports that the Czech Arbitration Court (CAC), which handles .EU disputes, has filed a proposal with ICANN that suggests several key changes to current UDRP practices, including: providing dispute resolution services in more languages; creating a type of "class action" complaint whereby a single person can file a complaint on behalf of multiple rights holders against a domain owner that infringes on multiple domains (which would allow trademark holders to go after massive cybersquatters more effectively); offering an online platform for lawyers, registrars, and service providers to manage UDRPs; and banning reverse domain name hijackers from filing complaints after three losses.
CAC wants to become the fourth provider of dispute resolution services, in addition to three other organizations that currently provide services (WIPO, the National Arbitration Forum and the Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre).
