<div>I agree with Georges’ comments and some comments made in the call that qualitative review may not be very constructive. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The cases are determined by panelists from various backgrounds, legal system qualifications, and experience, and trying to second guess why decisions came out the way they do would not in my mind lead to any meaningful result. As stated in the call some
decisions are better reasoned than others and therefore <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">
I do agree that if a review is undertaken the review may at best address the minimum requirements of information to be stated in the decisions by Panelists. </span></div>

<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">I agree with some of the comments made by Scott and others, but want to add a few additional thoughts. Looking at appeals is not really going to prove much of anything. It certainly does not
tell you whether a UDRP or URS decision was correctly decided. First, the elements for establishing viable UDRP or URS cases are different in many respects from national laws that look at whether or not a domain name registration or use is infringing, and/or
constitutes cybersquatting, unfair competition, defamation or libel etc. The point is that court actions can include many other claims or defenses depending on the jurisdiction you are litigating in. Second, UDRP and URS cases are streamlined procedures
with limited records or evidence. Thus, a case could have been properly decided by a UDRP panelist based on the record presented, but on a full record could be seen otherwise. Sometimes Complainants or Respondents do a terrible job in laying out their cases
and provide little to no evidence to support their contentions. So the fact that a court action appeal resulted in a decision that is different from a UDRP or URS decision does not prove that the case was wrongly decided in the first instance. Third, you
cannot conclude that an appeal is always being filed because there is a viable case. There are ample examples of people filing appeals simply to force a settlement of the matter. For example, the cost of litigating in the US can be quite high and thus there
are many examples of people filing questionable appeals with contingency fee attorneys, not because they legally believe they have a strong case, but believe and hope that the other side will decide to a pay a settlement amount that is far less than the anticipated
litigation costs. There are also many examples of people who have registered domain names using addresses and registrars in jurisdictions where they can file cheap appeals to try to create problems for the parties who prevailed in the UDRP or URS -- and do
so on the basis of securing pretextual flimsy rights in such jurisdictions. Again this is done to try and force a settlement and not because the losing party had a viable case. Consequently, if a case on appeal settled and something was paid to a Respondent,
it does mean anything as to whether or not the UDRP or URS was correctly decided. It may simply mean that the Complainant found it cheaper and more expedient to pay off the Respondent as a way of avoiding a protracted and potentially costly litigation (i.e.
a business decision). Lastly, I'm not sure how all appeals are tracked, but there likely as many post UDRP or URS lawsuits filed by Complainants against Respondents where the Complainant lost the UDRP or URS. Again this does not mean that the UDRP or URS
decisions were incorrect. There are often cases where the UDRP or URS elements might not be established by the Complainant but there might be viable claims for cybersquatting, trademark infringement, unfair competition or defamation under national laws. Again
the UDRP and URS are a streamlined process for a subset of potential claims and there are many cases that fall outside of the scope of what the UDRP or URS are intended for. One good example, is a case where a respondent initially registered a domain name
in good faith, but then only uses it in bad faith to take advantage of another's trademark. Because the UDRP and URS have a conjunctive requirement of bad faith registration and use, the weight of decisions would rule against the Complainant and in favor
of the Respondent. The Complainant might then be able to file a viable ACPA or trademark infringement claim and prevail. In that situation, the UDRP decision would have been correct and the Court decision would likewise be correct. Similarly, there are
many case that involve situations where the identity of the registrant is unknown. This could be because the registrant uses bogus registration information (such as a fake name) or uses a privacy service that does not lift the privacy shield, etc. This might
then result in a stilted record that is put before a panel. In a subsequent court case, there could be a much more robust record to establish a claim. So again you could not draw conclusions as to whether or not a UDRP or URS was correctly or incorrectly
decided.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">In sum, looking at appeals without knowing (i) what evidence was presented on the UDRP or URS levels, (ii) whether the original whois information was accurate, or (iii) what the motivation for
filing the appeal might be, will not be very probative. Similarly relying on blogs that discuss UDRP cases, or reviewing a case decision itself, does not necessarily tell you much if you don't know what was actually filed and considered by the Panel ruling
on the matter. If you are going to get into trying to review the underlying pleadings and in all instances,
<i>a fortiori</i>, the brand owner claims -- both of which I do not support -- then it seems, for full purposes of a review, that you should also want to get full information on the actual parties who registered the domain names to see if they gamed the system
with fake names or privacy shields. You could certainly seek to obtain information on who paid for the registration of the domain names at issue, which might tell you who is really the party behind a registration. Again, I am not in favor of doing any of
these types of reviews, but if there are those who suggest we go down one route, then these other routes should be explored as well as they would certainly have a bearing on cases where Complainants lost because a Respondent cleverly gamed the system.
</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">As for comments about the number of cases filed or appeals thereof, numbers alone don't say much. If the notion is to increase the number of filings, then perhaps a way to address that would
be to change the standard for a UDRP or URS from bad faith registration and use to bad faith registration or use and/or include trademark infringement as a basis of a claim, perhaps provide more meaningful relief in URS cases -- such as a transfer of the domain
name, perhaps better access to accurate Whois information or a workable mechanism to get accurate information on the actual registrant of a domain name.

<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">While it may be true that some of these cases lack reasons for the orders, if they're settlements, they're still court orders or decisions (that enabled the registrar to release the domain name
from any litigation hold) and that changed the outcome of the UDRP. The fact that UDRP decisions were overturned, and UDRP complainants agreed to pay damages or costs speaks for itself. Knowing the court case number, anyone could use PACER or other national
court databases to look at the public filings and documents, and infer what the reasons might have been, had the case proceeded, based on the evidence and/or arguments presented.</span></font></div>

be drawn from the court sanctioned settlements as the defendants in each case might have just lacked the resources or resolve to defend their UDRP success in an action in US federal court. The same would apply to the default judgment you obtained in Canada
for <<a href="http://pupa.com">pupa.com</a>> which WIPO did post. These cases show no court analysis questioning the efficacy of the UDRP.</span></font></div>

the presence of use of a mark in a .com global gTLD domain name. As HL rightly pointed out, "the assessment of trademark infringement is intrinsically different from the assessment conducted under the UDRP."</span></font></div>
