People might be more at ease with gTLD expansion if the dispute process was sound, I'd be wary of anyone who says it is. The current UDRP works in favor of cybersquatters
A lot of people would disagree with you and state that it works in the favour of IP holders who like to bully registrants
and the Registrars who sponsor them
Garth - you are deliberately misusing the term "sponsor" with the clear intent of establishing some kind of beneficial connection between registrars and their clients. Please stop - it's intentionally inflammatory and completely misleading.
(who, in some case have been shown to be one in the same). The process only works if the plaintiff truly wants a disputed domain name. Against the bad-faith registrant, there is no recourse especially if the registrant is behind a privacy service. The defaulted domains in these cases are worthless to the plaintiff once transferred (in fact worth-less because they have to spend money to get the worthless domains where the bad-faith registrant spends zero dollars in default.
Based on what? Are you honestly trying to tell us that in your opinion all domains that are transferred in UDRP cases have zero value? Seriously?
