URS & TM Clearing House• URS: Uniform Rapid Suspension
– Requirements similar to UDRP– Higher burden of proof on complainant– ~US$300 per proceeding– Registry Operator to Lock domain within 24 hrs– 20 Days for registrant to respond– Remedy: suspension of domain for remainder of term– Penalty for abusive complaints
• TM Clearing House– Central TM Clearing House (with multiple providers)
• Authentication & supporting Sunrise & TM Claims Services• Regional marks authentication service providers
– Separate and independent from ICANN

IDN gTLD Restrictions• 3 Character String Length
– New document proposes 2-Character IDN gTLD string to be acceptable
– 1-Character IDN gTLD to be further discussed as a policy consideration at ccNSO and GNSO respectively
• IDN Variant in TLD Strings– Recommending that IDN Variant TLD Strings not be
delegated– Variants may only be delegated when there is a
mechanism developed and tested, and the applicant has demonstrated that it can implement the mechanism in line with the accepted standards.

Post-Delegation DRPs• PDDRP: Post Delegation Dispute Resolution
Policy– Trademark oriented (not contractual compliance)– 2 types of eligible disputes:
• TLD string being identical or confusingly similar• Registry Operator substantially and systemically profiting from
infringing 2LD registrations
• RRDRP: Registry Restrictions Dispute Resolution Policy– Community gTLDs
• Registry Operator violated terms of the community-based restrictions in its agreement
• There is a measureable harm to the Complainant and the community named
