→Implementation of URS
==Implementation of URS==
==Implementation of URS==
In September 2012, ICANN senior executive [[Kurt Pirtz]] sent a public email to [[GNSO]] Council Chairman [[Stephane Van Gelder]] advising him that URS implementation could begin after a year of delay. Implementing URS included a pair of open meetings in Fall 2012, including one at [[ICANN 45]] in Toronto. ICANN acknowledged the role played by the GNSO Council in developing and approving the model and said they were willing to "work in whichever way the GNSO wishes to proceed".<ref name="internetcommerce"></ref>

Around the time of [[ICANN 45]] it had become apparent that the URS would not be implemented for the goal price point of $300 to $500, which is a fifth to a third the cost of a [[UDRP]]. The [[UDRP]] providers [[WIPO]] and [[National Arbitration Forum]] said they could not implement it for these prices, with WIPO stating it could possibly meet the goal if unresponsive defendants automatically lost their cases. This worried some in the [[GNSO]] about the possibility of fewer registrant rights under the URS, and they encouraged an open Request for Information bidding process. In November, 2012, [[ICANN]]'s [[Olof Nordling]] signaled that he had received several bids that they were reviewing and he was no longer of the belief that the URS could not be implemented within its goal price points.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/11104-icann-may-have-got-lucky-with-a-urs-vendor ICANN may Have Got Lucky with a URS Vendor, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
