The Registration Abuse Policies Implementation Drafting Team (RAP-IDT) has composed a draft letter to the GNSO Council outlining its proposed approach to the recommendations contained in the Registration Abuse Policy Working Group (RAPWG) Final Report.
The highest priority recommendation: the initiation of a Policy Development Process by requesting an Issues Report to investigate the current state of the UDRP, and consider balanced revisions to address cybersquatting if appropriate.
This effort should consider:
- How the UDRP has addressed the problem of cybersquatting to date, and any insufficiencies/inequalities associated with the process.
- Whether the definition of cybersquatting inherent within the existing UDRP language needs to be reviewed or updated.
CORRECTION: It has been brought to my attention that the WG's priorities (by ranking) appear in Annex II of the report -- accordingly, the highest priority recommendation pertains not to the UDRP (actually rank #4), but rather to anti-abuse best practices. My apologies to members of the WG for the mis-statement.
