Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy
Encyclopedia : U : UN : UNI : Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy
The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a document used by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the purpose of creating guidelines for use when disputes arise regarding the registration of internet names (domain names).
This currently applies to all .biz, .com, .info, .name, .net, and .org top-level domains, and some country code top-level domains.
The intention is to create a process that is faster and cheaper than the legal system.
The document outlines what needs to be done before a domain name registrar is compelled to hand the domain name to someone else, revoke its registration or blacklist the name.
According to the policy, complaints are submitted to "approved" dispute-resolution service providers, which can be corporations or non-profit organizations. The process is based on international and national dispute resolution traditions.
