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.

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
