lang="EN-US">As previously reported, a dispute resolution
procedure will be put in place to address complaints that a
Registry in the New gTLD Program may not be complying with
the Public Interest Commitment(s) in Specification 11 of
their Registry Agreement with ICANN. A draft procedure has
been created for this purpose. The draft procedure, or
Public Interest Commitments Dispute Resolution Procedure
(PICDRP), closely tracks the Registry Restrictions Dispute
Resolution Procedure (RRDRP) that has already been vetted
with the community through several public comment periods
and subsequent revisions. The purpose of this Public Comment
Forum is to obtain public input on the PICDRP, and to inform
revisions to the PICDRP, if appropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span

lang="EN-US">Specification 11 in over 500 new gTLD Registry
Agreements will have voluntary Public Interest Commitments
that the Registry has made and with which the Registry has
agreed to comply. To effectively and efficiently resolve any
issues that might arise regarding non-compliance with a
Registry’s Public Interest Commitments, a third
party-administered dispute resolution procedure will be put
in place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
