<h2 style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px;">Uniform Rapid
Suspension Procedure and Rules</h2>
<p style="margin: 15px 0px 0px 0px;">5 March 2013</p>
<p>An updated version of the Uniform Rapid Suspension System
(URS) <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf">Procedure</a>
[PDF, 168 KB] and the URS Rules are now available for
download.</p>
<p>The URS is one of several new Rights Protection Mechanisms
available in the New gTLD Program. It complements the
existing UDRP by offering a lower-cost, faster path to
relief for rights holders experiencing the most clear-cut
cases of infringement.</p>
<p>The URS Procedure defines the URS claims process. The Rules
will help service providers implement URS in a consistent
manner.</p>
<p>Since the last URS Procedure was posted on 4 June 2012,
minor revisions have been made in the present rather than
future tense. Other revisions clarify and simplify some
provisions as well as make minor typographical corrections.
Also, a set of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-04mar13-en.pdf">Rules</a>
[PDF, 82 KB] has been developed and added, similar to the
Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) rules,
to provide guidance on all aspects of the URS proceedings.</p>
<p>In addition to the Rules posted by ICANN, each URS service
provider is expected to produce supplemental rules to help
standardize conduct for that provider's interactions with
complainants and respondents, but that are not inconsistent
with the Procedure or the Rules.</p>
<p>The URS was developed by the community, for the community
and is another testament to the multistakeholder model.</p>
