ICANN IGO-INGO IRT: UDRP/Rules – Version 4 Drafts for Review Ahead of IRT Meeting 26 October ICANN84
by Peter Eakin Oct. 22, 2025

Oct. 22, 2025

Dear IRT, I hope this finds you well. Ahead of our in-person/hybrid meeting at ICANN84 on Sunday, 26 October at 13:15 UTC (please contact me if you haven't received the invite – Renate is enjoying a well-deserved holiday in the sun), I’m pleased to share Version 4 of the revised UDRP and UDRP Rules, redlined against the currently published versions. The changes address IRT feedback from our last meeting and are marked in comments and suggested text. Please find below the links to the Google Docs (MS Word versions are also attached to this email): * Version 4 of the UDRP: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OCUXfE4gn7-rPJDLLOz_FopVZfRwZl8zmct7VMg… * Version 4 of the UDRP Rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIsvV0VhWTOQtxu2aEQmQCUYuA5GrTtwemROWiz… Given the deadline to finalize this language for public comment, IRT review and comments are requested in advance of our next meeting. We also hope to discuss version 2 of the URS updates, which will be largely based on the UDRP updates. These are undergoing final checks and will be circulated for comment in advance of the meeting. As ever, happy to discuss any questions. Best wishes and safe travels to those heading to Dublin, Peter

UDRP/Rules – Version 3 Drafts for Review Ahead of IRT Meeting 15 October
by Peter Eakin Oct. 15, 2025

Oct. 15, 2025

Dear IRT, Resending as per today’s call. Peter Dear IRT, I hope this message finds you well. Ahead of our meeting this Wednesday, 15 October at 13:00 UTC (please contact Renate if you haven't received the invite), I’m pleased to share Version 3 of the revised UDRP and UDRP Rules. Please find below the links to the Google Docs (Word versions are also attached to this email): * Version 3 of the UDRP and UDRP Rules: These highlight differences from the most currently published versions. New additions is marked in yellow. * Redline comparisons with Version 2: These show the differences from the previous draft for easier review of updates. GOOGLE DOC LINKS: UDRP V3 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kLTeMbqAAiSt7Um9RrSgDL2GtCM7l_t9lGuu2r0… UDRP Redline comparison with V2: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11M92GZzq4MlY79vKp5cRTdeJqVQW0m3_h0wc9iA… UDRP RULES V3: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1muDar86sLvMfvLqKTyEFM1Ut5e4IeoXRwyfAmem… UDRP RULES Redline comparison with V2: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qx3ipVKZPTy7Z6-3oxD2LIEnJRYCSHgNJY27v-5… These latest revisions aim to address IRT feedback provided during calls and through written comments on Version 2. We've included comments in each document explaining the rationale behind our revisions and editorial choices—particularly in the Rules document, which has undergone significant updates. As a reminder, our shared goal is to finalize a set of draft updates for public comment as quickly as possible in November. While minor adjustments are still possible, we ask that the IRT review these drafts with that timeline in mind. Please flag any critical issues that would prevent us from moving forward with public comment, knowing that further revisions can be made following the comment period. Written feedback on the documents is strongly encouraged. During Wednesday’s meeting, I’ll walk through both documents. I’ll also review the updated draft policy guidance (previously circulated via the list last week—I’ll resend it shortly for anyone who missed it). As always, feel free to reach out to Renate or me with any questions. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday, Best regards, Peter Peter Eakin Policy Research Specialist, Policy Research & Stakeholder Programs Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Tel: + 32 493 547 913 Office: 6 Rond Point Schuman, Bt. 1, Brussels B-1040, Belgium

RESENDING: ICANN IGO-INGO Curative Rights - For Review - Policy Guidance V2
by Peter Eakin Oct. 15, 2025

Oct. 15, 2025

Dear IRT, Resending as per today’s call. Peter Dear IRT, As promised, resending the Policy Guidance links ahead of Wednesday. Best, Peter Peter Eakin Policy Research Specialist, Policy Research & Stakeholder Programs Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Tel: + 32 493 547 913 Office: 6 Rond Point Schuman, Bt. 1, Brussels B-1040, Belgium From: Peter Eakin <peter.eakin(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, 8 October 2025 at 11:57 To: "igo-ingo-curative-rights-irt(a)icann.org" <igo-ingo-curative-rights-irt(a)icann.org> Subject: ICANN IGO-INGO Curative Rights - For Review - Policy Guidance V2 Dear IRT, As promised in yesterday’s email, I’m pleased to share version 2 of the daft Policy Guidance on IGO and INGO usage of the UDRP and URS. The new draft incorporates feedback from the IRT and is available on the IRT Google Drive at the links below – Word docs also attached. A redline with the most recent version shared with the IRT is also provided: Google Drive Links Policy Guidance V2 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/18uF_QDNGni78KdJOOO1t_EKTiLy7ePjdJkEar7p… Redline with previous version - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LEkUDLCBXxugV0zJC7nSM4QiLC7OqaEd3vJ-Smi… I have also recirculated for context the implementation notes on PDP Recommendations 2 & 3 and EPDP Recommendation 1, which informed our initial discissions on V1 and were first shared with the IRT in May. See Google Doc links below: Implementation Note PDP Recommendation 2: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rhn4-Ode0ocEdSeWUyA9necMRkRWCX74xqlgmbP… Implementation Note PDP Recommendation 3: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u7EEfIhFx3oCMv0oOTOpB-WI8ghb9a7UzTivdRz… Implementation Note EPDP Recommendation 1: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wc8-dpgW2SP1Fb1MBW9Xz2Prl70HUZMz7HRw8mD… As a reminder, the creation of Policy Guidance on this issue was recommended in the PDP Final Report. However, during our discussions I questioned whether Recommendation 2 had been effectively superseded by EPDP Recommendation 1, and if this fact should also be addressed in the guidance. Following IRT feedback, I proceeded on this basis. Accordingly, V2 makes no reference to Article 6ter in regard to demonstrating IGO standing to file, given the IRT’s opinion that they are no longer relevant considering EPDP Recommendation 1. We intend to highlight this development when issuing the document for public comment in November. I will set aside time to discuss any comments or feedback on V2 at our meeting next week, 15 October at 13:00 UTC. Please let me know if you have any questions or experience difficulties accessing the documentation.
