<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The “locking” of a domain name registration associated with UDRP proceedings is not something that is literally required by the UDRP as written, but is a practice that has
developed around it. As a result, there is no uniform approach, which has resulted in confusion and misunderstandings. The GNSO Council initiated a PDP on this specific topic in December 2011 and tasked the WG to make recommendations to the GNSO Council to
address the issues identified with the locking of a domain name subject to UDRP Proceedings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
