Background to Posting CAC was approved as a UDRP provider at the Board meeting on 23 January 2008. CAC wishes to run tests of the following two UDRP-related services as part of its implementation of UDRP: A. Simplified way of sending signed hardcopies of Complaints and/or Responses to the Provider (Par. 3(b), Par. 5(b)) of the UDRP Rules. This pilot project aims at exploring and testing the legal and practical implications of a service that would enable parties to submit hardcopies of the complaints/responses in a simplified way. B. Service of delivery of signed hard copies. This pilot project seeks to explore and test the legal and practical implications of a new service related to e-UDRP consisting of the printing and delivering of signed electronic documents. ICANN has at the request of CAC agreed to post for public comment the description of the pilot projects<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9826720&msgid=162739&act=9MXL&c=16...> for a period of thirty days (30), along with a report<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9826720&msgid=162739&act=9MXL&c=16...> on the pilot project by professor Chris Reed, a recognized international authority on technology law and electronic commerce law .
