The [[ICANN Board]] is responsible in exercising the authority of the [[Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] and controlling its business affairs and properties by virtue of a majority vote by its members present during annual, regular, or special meetings where there is a quorum. The ICANN board is internationally represented as set forth by ICANN's bylaws, which maintains that at least one director represents each geographic region (Europe, Asia/Australia/Pacific, Latin America/Caribbean islands, Africa and North America) and no region have more than five Directors on the Board. Until December 8th, 2011 the board was largely volunteer based and most of its members were not compensated; the President and CEO, and the Chairman of the Board were the only two paid members. Issues of compensation have been a long-standing topic of debate within ICANN circles, and in December, 2011, the board voted to compensate each member $35,000 per year.
The [[Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy]], or UDRP, is a set of guidelines used by [[ICANN]] to resolve disputes regarding the registration of [[Domain Name]]s. The UDRP was adopted on August 26th, 1999. Additionally, a set of Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP Rules) were approved by ICANN on October 30th, 2009, followed by Supplemental Rules for the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, which entered into effect on December 14th, 2009. The UDRP are policies which apply in disputes between registrants and third parties as a result of the registration and use of domain names. Disputes under these policies may be filed with one of the approved dispute-resolution service providers for the given policy. The UDRP was created in order to protect recognized brands and trademarks from abusive registrations by third party registrants who intentionally register confusingly similar domain names in bad faith for profit. It is important to remember that the UDRP applies to all [[gTLD]]s and [[ccTLD]]s that voluntarily adopted the UDRP policy.
