The PSR measured efficiency largely by presenting statistics related to the "cost and time efficiency of the UDRP in dealing with disputes involving abusive registrations of domain names." As a result, the report predominantly focused on the number of filings, the costs associated with UDRP complaints, and the length of proceedings.<ref name="psr" /> The statistics showed an upward trend in filings year over year.

====Fairness====
 +
The report stated that the UDRP rules are designed to ensure due process and procedural fairness. However, the PSR noted a variety of community concerns, including [[Reverse Domain Name Hijacking]], disproportionately high costs for trademark holders, lack of clear guidelines around fair use and safe harbor provisions, and other issues.<ref name="psr" />

====Preventing Abuse====
 +
The PSR stated "it is plausible that cases are brought to panels by entities that can adduce sufficient evidence to meet the three-part test. Furthermore, this may also indicate that the Policy is effective at targeting straightforward cases of cybersquatting and thus achieving its intended purpose of successfully addressing abusive domain name registrations."<ref name="psr" /> The report goes on to suggest that the consistently high rate of decisions in favor of complainants supports the notion that the UDRP is meeting its goal of preventing abusive registrations.<ref name="psr" />
