Detailed Information
Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:
ICANN has received a revised proposal from the Arab Center for Domain Name
Dispute Resolution (ACDR) to be recognized as one of the official dispute
resolution providers under the UDRP. The proposal was submitted pursuant to
the process specified at
http://www.icann.org/en/dndr/udrp/provider-approval-process.htm
<https://www.icann.org/en/dndr/udrp/provider-approval-process.htm> .

The ACDR is jointly established by the Arab Intellectual Property Mediation
and Arbitration Society (AIPMAS) and the Arab Society for Intellectual
Property (ASIP), with headquarters in Amman, Jordan and additional offices
in other Arab Countries. Both the AIPMAS (established in 1987) and ASIP
promote the activities of the Arab Center of Mediation and Arbitration,
established in 2003, active in resolving conflicts related to intellectual
property through international arbitrators. If approved, the ACDR would be
the first Approved UDRP Dispute Resolution Service Provider headquartered in
an Arab state.

Section II: Background:
The ACDR's proposal was initially posted for public comment in September
2010. The Comments can be viewed at
http://forum.icann.org/lists/acdr-proposal/
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/acdr-proposal/> , and the summary and analysis
of comments is available at
http://forum.icann.org/lists/acdr-proposal/msg00007.html
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/acdr-proposal/msg00007.html> . The revised
proposal under consideration today takes into account many of the comments
received. For example, the ACDR's proposal now provides a meaningful
limitation of 50 cases per month during the start up process. In the version
that was originally posted for public comment, the ACDR requested a
limitation of 5000 cases.
