Public Comment is a vital part of our multistakeholder model. It provides a mechanism for stakeholders to have their opinions and recommendations formally and publicly documented. It is an opportunity for the ICANN community to effect change and improve policies and operations.
Efficiency
The UDRP provides efficient mechanism to trademark owners to deal with domain name disputes. However, the system polices need to continue to be enhanced, updated and developed to include: 1) Domain names with clear infringement of other rights, such as copyrights, right of publicity and unfair competition resulted from bad faith conducts, ii) expedite the process of ruling in the UDRP complaints to ensure prompt remedies, iii) expand in the scope of panels to rule on other remedies claimed by the trademark owners, such as monetary remedies and compensations and refund of fees to the complainants, and iv) prompt enforcement of resolution and introduce to the policies (terms and conditions signed by registrars with ICANN) to limit the jurisdictions and choice of forums that are entitled to review, execute and/or hear appeals in relation to UDRP decisions.
