the filing parties reasonably expected that their filings would be confidential. We are also concerned that if we intervened with the examiners on behalf of the WG regarding past decisions, or drew conclusions regarding the examiners’ aptitude to decide a
particular case correctly, that we would undermine our role as a neutral administrator in the URS process.

<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_MailEndCompose"></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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><o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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.

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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.

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><o:p></o:p></p>

what, if anything, can 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><o:p></o:p></p>
