In a proposal,WIPO tries to convince ICANN to remove paper pleadings from the UDRP process and to implement electronic UDRP.

"There is a strong case for ICANN eliminating paper from the UDRP process.WIPO believes that,if required,this goal also may be achievable within the framework and spirit of the UDRP Rules currently in effect.Practical steps could be taken via the WIPO Supplemental Rules that even without ICANN amendment of the UDRP Rules may achieve the removal of paper pleadings in a large majority of WIPO cases."
ICANN decided to post the proposal for public comment for 30 days ,comments being submitted to ICANN by email .
Moreover ICANN wants to consider the feedback received from the comments in the evaluation of the need to modify the implementation rules.
