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 the National Arbitration Forum, or one of the other corporation or non-profit organizations that is an "approved" dispute-resolution service provider. The process is based on international and national dispute resolution traditions.
