The EPDP Team on Specific Curative Rights Protections for IGO sought input on preliminary recommendations in the Initial Report that had not yet reached | |||
agreement about whether an appropriate policy solution could be developed that: | |||
# accounts for the possibility that an IGO may enjoy jurisdictional immunity in certain circumstances; | |||
# does not affect the right and ability of registrants to file judicial proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction; | |||
# preserves registrants' rights to judicial review of an initial [[UDRP|Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy]] or [[Uniform Rapid Suspension]] decision; and | |||
# recognizes that the existence and scope of IGO jurisdictional immunity in any particular situation is a legal issue to be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. | |||
All 14 individual commentators opposed the development of policy recommendations that would apply specifically to IGOs and domain name disputes when the IGO files a complaint against a domain name registrant. Many worried that the recommendations would harm or reduce registrant rights if they restricted a registrant’s ability to file judicial proceedings against an IGO or compel a registrant to agree to arbitration.<ref>[https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/generic-names-supporting-organization-council-gnso-council/public-comment-summary-report-epdp-igo-20dec2021-en.pdf Public Comment Summary Report on Initial Report from the EPDP on Specific Curative Rights Protections for IGOs, ICANN Files] | |||
