<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Thanks to Graham for this and to James for the below. Both are helpful, and as mentioned on the call today, I think it’d also be helpful to hear what other
p/p providers do as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">One note on Graham’s email that I’ve been thinking about. I tend to agree with Graham that part of what we should strive to do with whatever accreditation
standards we develop should be to “encourage registrants and complainants to deal with the issue themselves.” I think that’s a laudable objective.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">But doesn’t that suggest that if a complainant satisfies the elements from parts II(A), (B), or (C) from James’s email below, the p/p provider should at that
point disclose the customer/beneficial user’s information to the complainant? Isn’t that the more logical way to encourage the two sides to deal with the issue themselves, without further involvement from the p/p provider? Absent such disclosure, I’m not
sure how the complainant is supposed to deal with the customer/beneficial user, <b>
<i>other than</i></b> to continue to go through the p/p provider (since the complainant, by definition, don’t know anything about the customer/beneficial user at that point). In other words, if the idea is to get the p/p provider out of the role of being a
middleman/mediator/arbiter, then disclosure of at least some contact information whenever a complainant provides the information outlined in II(A), (B), or (C) would seem to make the most sense (recognizing of course that II(A), (B), or (C) may not be the
<b><i>only</i></b> times when disclosure is appropriate).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

site), or that they contact the host, and provide information on how to do that. Usually we will also forward the complaint to the registrant and encourage them to address the issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> - If the issue is with the domain name itself, we will usually respond with information on the UDRP process. We will also forward the complaint to the registrant and encourage them to respond. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
