> ICANN is issuing today a Request for Information (RFI) to identify  
> potential Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) Service Providers [PDF,  
> 112 KB]. The URS is one of the mechanisms to address trademark  
> protection concerns in the New gTLD Program. The URS is expected to  
> provide trademark holders with a new, cost effective remedy in  
> addition to those available under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute  
> Resolution Policy (UDRP) and applicable law. The primary purpose of  
> the URS is to provide for rapid suspension of domain names on  
> trademark infringement cases in which there is no genuine  
> contestable issue as to the infringement and abuse that has taken  
> place.
>
> Candidates for operating the URS are expected to meet the  
> requirements outlined in the RFI, which include, for example, a  
> demonstrated understanding of the issues concerning global  
> intellectual property rights and the Internet, proceedings in an  
> expedited online context, dispute resolutions, UDRP proceedings,  
> and serving as globally diverse and highly qualified neutral  
> panelist. ICANN seeks candidates with a proven ability to manage  
> and support processes in multiple languages, in addition to  
> fulfillment of the technical requirements.
