I’ve been involved in online domain name disputes since the earliest days of the UDRP and later the CDRP.  I’m told I had the first win for a Respondent (over thyme.com) but I have never checked.  Before the UDRP I obtained return of chicagobulls.com for the NBA.  That’s just a couple of examples to say, I’ve been around for a while. 

I was saddened when Canada’s UDRP registrar, if I recall correctly eResolution out of Montreal, closed shop.  It left a gap and limited options, limited choices.  I am delighted to see that Canada International Internet Dispute Resolution Centre’s proposal is being considered.  I am quite familiar with the organization, having been a panelist on many CDRP disputes through the BCICAC.  I wholly endorse and support the proposal.
