The Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) is a document used by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the purpose of creating guidelines for use when disputes arise regarding the registration of internet names (___domain names).
This currently applies to all .biz, .com, .info, .name, .net, and .org top-level domains, and some country code top-level domains.
The intention is to create a process that is faster and cheaper than the legal system.
The document outlines what needs to be done before a ___domain name registrar is compelled to hand the ___domain name to someone else, revoke its registration or blacklist the name.
According to the policy, complaints are submitted to "approved" dispute-resolution service providers, which can be corporations or non-profit organizations. The process is based on international and national dispute resolution traditions.
