The '''Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy''' or '''TDRP''', which was created on 12 November 2004, is a [[DRP]] for use between two registrars engaging in Inter-Registrar domain name transfers. Registrars are encouraged to try to solve the dispute between themselves before filing a TDRP, as the resolution fees can be substantial.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/dispute-policy-12jul04.htm ICANN.org: Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy]</ref> Registrars who wish to dispute alleged violations from the other registrars may initiate a dispute proceeding, either with an independent dispute resolution provider or a relevant registry operator. If a registry operator is chosen, the decision of this registry operator may be appealed by the registrars to an independent dispute resolution provider.<ref>[http://www.webhosting.info/news/1/icann-approves-dispute-resolution-providers-for-tdrp_0504053153.htm WebHosting.info]</ref> A decision made by an independent dispute resolution provider may not be appealed, except for in court.
