WIPO Takes A Shot At ICANN’s Domain Dispute Reform

"The official responsible for the staid World Intellectual Property Organization internet domain dispute resolution procedures has again come out strongly against efforts by another international body to reform those dispute procedures.

Erik Wilbers, director of the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Centre, issued “observations” on 15 July criticising reform efforts by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the technical body that manages the internet domain name system.

ICANN is considering reforms to the Uniform Dispute Resolution Procedures (UDRP), the standard for resolving domain name squabbles."

Wilbers’ observations are here [pdf].
