Post-Delegation Dispute Resolution Procedures for New gTLDs: ICANN Seeks
Service Providers for Registry Restriction DRP and Trademark PDDRP
 

30 April 2013
 

ICANN is issuing today two Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to identify
potential providers of Registry Restrictions Dispute Resolution Procedure
(RRDRP) services and Trademark Post-Delegation Dispute Resolution Procedure
(Trademark PDDRP) services. These Post-Delegation Dispute Resolution
Procedures have been developed to provide those harmed by a new gTLD
Registry Operator's conduct an alternative avenue to complain about that
conduct. The RRDRP is intended to address circumstances in which a
community-based New gTLD Registry Operator deviates from the registration
restrictions outlined in its Registry Agreement. The Trademark PDDRP
generally addresses a Registry Operator's complicity in trademark
infringement on the first or second level of a New gTLD.

Candidates for operating the RRDRP or the Trademark PDDRP are expected to
meet the requirements outlined in the respective RFPs. Some are common for
both, for example, experience of handling dispute resolutions and serving as
globally diverse and highly qualified neutral panelist. For each procedure
there are also specific requirement. For the Trademark PDDRP, candidates
need for example to demonstrate understanding of the issues concerning
global intellectual property rights and the Internet, and for the RRDRP
candidates should demonstrate an understanding of priorities, needs and
vulnerabilities of proceedings in an expedited online context. Full
information is given in the respective RFPs ­ for the RRDRP see
http://www.icann.org/en/news/rfps/rrdrp-30apr13-en.pdf [PDF, 163 KB] and for
the TM PDDRP see http://www.icann.org/en/news/rfps/tm-pddrp-30apr13-en.pdf
[PDF, 158 KB]. ICANN seeks candidates with a proven ability to manage and
support processes in a global context, in addition to fulfillment of the
technical requirements.
