<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>This draft comment is being
circulated today (14-Oct) so that BC members will have 14 days to review,
revise, and consider approval before the ICANN deadline of 28-Oct-2010. <br>
<br>
The attached comment was drafted by Phil Corwin and was polished for submission
by Mike Rodenbaugh. Phil’s original note is shown at the bottom of this
email, and contains some contextual material that may be helpful in your
consideration of this draft. <br>
<br>
This draft comment is in response to ICANN’s proposal to recognize a new domain
name dispute provider. For background on this proposal, see below,
or at <a href="http://icann.org/en/public-comment/#acdr-proposal">http://icann.org/en/public-comment/#acdr-proposal</a>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><br>
Explanation/Background: ICANN has received a proposal from the Arab Center for
Domain Name Dispute Resolution (ACDR) to be recognized as one of the official
dispute resolution providers under the UDRP. The proposal was submitted
pursuant to the process specified at <u><span style='color:#3100FF'><a
href="http://www.icann.org/en/dndr/udrp/provider-approval-process.htm">http://www.icann.org/en/dndr/udrp/provider-approval-process.htm</a></span></u>.<br>
<br>
The ACDR is jointly established by the Arab Intellectual Property Mediation and
Arbitration Society (AIPMAS) and the Arab Society for Intellectual Property
(ASIP), with headquarters in Amman, Jordan and additional offices in other Arab
Countries. Both the AIPMAS (established in 1987) and ASIP promote the
activities of the Arab Center of Mediation and Arbitration, established in
2003, active in resolving conflicts related to intellectual property through
international arbitrators. If approved, the ACDR would be the first Approved
UDRP Dispute Resolution Service Provider headquartered in an Arab state.<br>
<br>
At its 5 August 2010 meeting, the Board approved staff’s recommendation to
publish the ACDR proposal for a public comment for a period of not less than 30
days.<br>
<br>
Upon completion of the public comment period, ICANN staff will analyze the
comments received and evaluate further recommendations to the Board on
proceeding with the ACDR proposal.<br>
