Revision as of 19:58, 16 May 2022
, 2 years ago→Background
In February 2011, the GNSO Council requested an Issues Report in accordance with the recommendations of the [[Registration Abuse Policies Working Group]]. In response, ICANN staff reviewed the UDRP ahead of the New gTLD Program, releasing its report in October 2011, but recommending that the GNSO hold off on forming a PDP until the URS had been in effect for at least 18 months. Later, the GNSO Council asked ICANN to begin an Issue Report on all RPMs (including but not limited to the UDRP and URS) in December 2011.<ref name="gnsohub" />

The Final Issue Report noted some principal themes and points:
* A majority of commenters saw no reason to review the UDRP, and some (including [[WIPO]]) thought such a review could be potentially disruptive and damaging to the efficient operation of the UDRP. Others saw no harm in reviewing, while some commenters advocated for review of the UDRP for purposes of process improvement;
* The URS was a subject of some criticism and concern regarding scope and operation; and
* The issues raised in earlier public comment processes, as well as those identified in earlier issue reports, should be examined and prioritized by the Working Group, if one was launched.
After processing and integrating public comment submissions, ICANN staff submitted the Final Issue Report in January 2016.<ref name="finalissrep">[https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/rpm-final-issue-11jan16-en.pdf GNSO Archive - Final Issue Report, Rights Protection Mechanisms in all gTLDs], January 11, 2016</ref> Alterations and additions based on public comment were contained in Section 3 of the report.<ref name="finalissrep" />
