Good suggestions, Petter. We should probably also look at the sufficiency of the relief if one prevails – we’ve had feedback that the result is too weak to justify the expense. Finally, although we don’t have any specific complaints as of yet regarding a registry that may be in violation of the PDDRP standards, we should probably survey the community and ask if there are any registries or registry operators that are either actively encouraging or turning a blind eye to substantial infringement (and we’ll need to define what substantial is). If we get any specific feedback we might look at whether there is any correlation between a greater percentage of infringement and domain pricing; we’ve seen a lot of new registries give domains by the millions away for free or very low prices, and it just seems intuitive that bad actors may be attracted by the very low cost of entry.

All - Here is my and Beth Bacon's (also of PIR) list of improvements and elements of the PDDRP that we would like to stay the same. First, we think it's worth noting that simply because the PDDRP hasn't been used doesn't mean it isn't "working." The PDDRP arguably has a deterrent/chilling effect against pervasive bad-faith infringement at the Top and Second level. While it's true that the PDDRP has not been used, we believe it is because there has not yet been an instance that meets the elements of a PDDRP claim. Elements of PDDRP that should Remain the Same: (1) Bad Faith Intent. It is important to note that the PDDRP does not cover profiting from simple trademark infringement at the Second level, but rather, only covers the Second level when "through the Registry Operator's affirmative conduct, there is a substantive pattern or practice of specific bad faith intent to profit from the sale of domain names that infringe the complainant's trademark." The PDDRP is meant to address true bad-faith actors, not Registries that simply have some infringing names under management. (2) Clear and Convincing Evidence. Since the remedies that can be recommended under the PDDRP can be quite extreme, it is important that the Complainant's burden of proof remain high. Accordingly, the Clear and Convincing Evidence standard currently used in the PDDRP is proper. Possible Improvements: (1) Clarity around ICANN Adoption of Remedies. Section 18.6 of the PDDRP states "Imposition of remedies shall be at the discretion of ICANN, but absent extraordinary circumstances, those remedies will be in line with the remedies recommended by the Expert Panel." The PDDRP does not appear to set forth what circumstances might be considered "extraordinary." In the event ICANN deviates from a Panel recommendation, is there a mechanism to challenge the deviation within the PDDRP (instead of dispute resolution under the RA)? Is it possible that ICANN could adopt harsher penalties rather than what was adopted by the Panel? (2) Mediation at the Request of Registry. The Registry may believe that there is some misunderstanding between the Complainant and itself when the PDDRP is initiated. In that instance, upon receiving the Complaint, the Registry should be able to initiate non-binding Mediation within the confines of the PDDRP. The Mediation should occur within a reasonable time from the Registry's request (perhaps 30 days). If the Mediation is successful, the PDDRP process will end. If the Mediation is not successful, the current process under the PDDRP will continue. Thanks very much, Beth Bacon and Brian Cimbolic, PIR.

Substantial infringement. I work for a number of registrars and they generally have millions of registrations. It is a low profit, high-volume business. I therefore have difficulties in imposing any further burdens upon them. While policing trademark violations has a cost, I am becoming more and more opposed to the idea of having the rest of the world suffer this cost for the benefit of the IP rights holders. In reality this is an issue for ICANN to deal with under its accreditation program. 2. Mediation is a great idea but it should be a process of the UDRP as it is the DRS. This is extremely effective and greatly reduces the number of complaints moving towards the panel. The only problem I have with the DRS model is that both the complainant and respondent have then already spent the time and money to file the complaint and response. We could structure the proposal so as to permit mediation on a skeletal complaint and upon failure of the mediation the complainant would have the right to file a formal complaint which would then proceed to the panelists. Nominet could give very clear guidance on the effectiveness of their program and if not I know several panelist and mediators and can reach out to them. 3. Petter, Class actions already exist to the extent of commonality of registrant (a low threshold). I would not suggest adding to this as it greatly increases the burden of the panelists (who are on a fixed fee) and will lead to lax decision making on their part - a natural consequence of not having sufficient time to deal with every domain in the class. 4. "use cases". Although a great idea they require a great deal of time and are largely met with "I will not respond to a hypo" type responses we heard the other day. Of the disputes 99.99% are simple easy fact patters. However, these do not typically generate the "issues". The remainder are all factually intensive and a answering one by way of a use case may not necessarily answer the others. 5. At the registration/notification of potential trademark conflict, I don't know of may that result in a decision not to register. HOWEVER, I think that the notice should also specify the goods/classes in which the asserted trademark is registered AND contain a link to a public source to determine the classifications.
