“With domain name disputes ranking as one of cyberlaw’s most
contentious issues, concerned parties worldwide have been working
toward an international solution that provides quick, cheap dispute
resolution.”
“The result is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) dispute resolution process. This
five-month-old process has already attracted hundreds of cases,
created an emerging global cyberlaw, and raised serious concerns
about the fairness and consistency of the decision-making
procedure.”
“The ICANN rules entitle anyone, regardless of country of
residence, to contest a top-level generic domain name registration,
which includes dot-com, dot-net, and dot-org registrations. To move
the process along speedily, once a claim is launched, the
responding party has 20 days to file its side of the story, and the
arbitrator — either one or a panel of three — has another two
weeks to render a decision.”
