Key Recommendations of the WIPO Report

1. The development of a uniform dispute resolution policy for Registrars in the .com, .net, and .org Top-Level Domains (TLDs).

2. The adoption of best practices for registrars, assuring the availability of accurate and reliable contact details of domain name holders and the cancellation of registrations with unverifiable contact details.

(allows service of process)

3. Mandatory arbitration of disputes regarding cybersquatting.

(n.b. differing definitions of cybersquatting)

4. Exclusionary right of famous mark owners on SLDs bearing their marks, and sensitivity to protection of trademark rights in the introduction of any new gTLDs.
