Dispute resolution system now entirely electronic

Thursday, 04 March 2010
E-mail Print

SIDN modified the Dispute Resolution Regulations for .nl Domain Names with effect from today,4 March 2010. Much of the correspondence that previously went by post will in future go by e-mail. For example, an initial complaint will have to be submitted to the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center in Geneva (WIPO) by e-mail only. The regulations previously stipulated that, as well as contacting WIPO by e-mail, a complainant had to send five copies of the complaint by registered post. 
The changes being made to the Dispute Resolution Regulations for .nl Domain Names follow similar changes to the UDRP (the corresponding regulations for .com and certain other domain names), which came into effect on 1 March. Under the revised .nl regulations, a complaint about a .nl domain name will be forwarded to the name’s registrant by e-mail. However, to make sure that the complaint has actually reached the registrant, WIPO will also write to the registrant’s postal address to say that a complaint has been made.
