One of my previous blog briefed about UDRP process for cybersquatting (TM) related disputes, in-depth, from filing - complaint, response; to selecting panel members to time period involved. URS is another light version mechanism used to resolve cybersquatting disputes with almost similar process. Whereas, the present blog briefly explains miscellaneous domain related issues, when arisen &, where to approach.
Now,
when or what kind of disputes may ensue? In case of cybersquatting, already illustrated.
Others are viz. when the
Registrar or Registry Operator isn’t in compliance of its obligations w.r.t.
RAA (Registrar Accreditation Agreement, renewed every five years) or RA (Registry
Agreement, renewed every ten years) who work in accordance with RRA (Registry
Registrar Agreement) OR Registrant’s Unauthorized transfer of domain
OR Renewal/Redemption/RGP (Redemption Grace Period) related OR
any Generic Complaint OR Abusive Activity in gTLDs/ccTLDs OR Privacy
Concerns OR WHOIS’s inaccuracies & so on. Most of the issues are first
addressed to the respective Registrar.
Further,
as ICANN accredits Registrars under a contractual agreement to facilitate (not
maintain) gTLDs (eg. .com, .net), whilst, does not set
standards for ccTLDs wherein cc stands for country code (eg.
.us, .uk, .in, .jp), which are managed by country specific
managers/registrars/operators; So, depending on which domain one’s using, one
must first approach to the respected Registrars/Managers/Operators/Dispute Resolution Provider. For
example, .in related disputes is brought directly to INDRP
for arbitration rather going to UDRP. The procedure is basically
similar all over World to their own country specific managers. There’re Dispute
Resolution Providers’ List one can select from.
Just
a personal annexure - Domain/Registrations shouldn’t be just wiped out even
post grace period or non-renewal.😊
