Nominet Changes DRS Policy and Procedure
July 11, No Comments - Author: Simon JohnsonUK based Nominet is changing its dispute resolution policy with the new changes coming into effect on July 29 2008.
While there has been a truckload of modifications, here are a couple that stand out:
1. For those disputes where there is a response, the case goes into mediation and you have to pay an expert fee of £750 plus VAT.
2. “Respondents can pay for an Expert decision if the Complainant declines to pay, in order to request a finding of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking.”
3. A “likelihood of confusion” factor has been introduced. This means that a threatened use of a domain name may be evidence of an Abusive Registration.
A full summary of the changes is available on the Nominet web site.
