You are invited to participate in a webinar on the current state of the
Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The ICANN Policy Staff is
holding this Webinar on Tuesday 10 May at 15:00 UTC.

The webinar will explore the current state of the UDRP. Attendees will
hear the viewpoints from experts in the field on the effectiveness of
the UDRP, and whether it should be modified or amended. This webinar is
designed to solicit current information and data on the UDRP for
reference in an Issue Report to be published by Staff. UDRP providers,
panelists, attorneys and other observers of the UDRP process will be
invited to share their perspective on this key ICANN policy.

The UDRP has not been reviewed by the GNSO Council since its adoption.
The Issue Report will speak to how t he UDRP has addressed the problem
of cybersquatting to date, and explore any insufficiencies or
inequalities associated with the process. This Issue Report will then be
considered by the GNSO Council as it decides whether to commence a new
policy development process (PDP) on the UDRP.

The webinar is scheduled to run for 120 minutes, will be conducted in
English only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide
presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio.

Participants will have opportunity to ask questions at the end of the
presentations. During the course of the webinar, questions may be
submitted using the chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able
to participate in the live session, the slides and MP3 will be made
available shortly after the meeting.

In order to participate, please RSVP via email to the GNSO Secretariat
