RE: [nc-deletes] Minutes - Conference Call, November 15

Title: Message

OK.  This problem has arisen more than I expected - the case manager at WIPO that I've just spoken to says she knows of between 20 and 30 cases.  With registrars that they know won't continue the lock past expiry, they ask up front whether the domain will expire and advise the parties to contact the registrar.  There have been several cases where after the decision the complainant wonders why the decision hasn't been implemented and then discovers that the domain lapsed and was purchased by someone else in the meantime.  WIPO don't like this as it brings the whole procedures into disrepute.

 

I'm still getting feedback from IPC members - I should have a proposal by Friday.

I'm trying to get some feedback as to how often this problem has arisen.  I think it's likely to be relatively rare.

I asked on the call if this was a common problem. Seemed to me that
it would be a rather rare, though the reaction then was that it was
enough of a concern that it needed addressing. Since, two people from
the NCC have asked the same question and I'm wondering if there's
data on how many times a name has been deleted during a UDRP dispute?

I understand that registrars should not be required to pick up the
costs of something they have no control over. But if it's a rare
occurrence, perhaps it's not much of an issue? And I can't see how
the situation could be gamed to put registrars at serious risk.

Thanks,

Adam
