Nominet Changes its Baby - the new DRS policy
November 2004
Nominet is rightly proud of its baby, the
Dispute Resolution Service (DRS), which this year
turned three. By its 36-month check it was clear
that the kid's developing nicely with a total of
1911 new cases under its belt, 796 of which were
mediated by Nominet's in-house team - resulting in
a 56% settlement rate at the mediation stage.
And the proud parent was there in June this year
to see their offspring receive a prestigious
Industry Award for Excellence from the UK's CEDR -
the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution. So
where does the DRS go from here?
The answer is that Nominet has decided it's time
to change its baby - with a wide-ranging package
of amendments to the DRS Policy and Procedure
which are effective for all disputes filed on or
after 25 October 2004.
