Uniform Rapid Suspension System for New gTLDs: ICANN Seeks Service Provider=
s for Uniform Rapid Suspension
Uniform Rapid Suspension or "URS" Service Providers
24 September 2012

ICANN is issuing today a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potentia=
l Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) Service Providers<http://www.icann.org/en/=
news/rfps/urs-24sep12-en.pdf> [PDF, 112 KB]. The URS is one of the mechanis=
ms to address trademark protection concerns in the New gTLD Program. The UR=
S is expected to provide trademark holders with a new, cost effective remed=
y in addition to those available under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Reso=
lution Policy (UDRP) and applicable law. The primary purpose of the URS is =
to provide for rapid suspension of domain names on trademark infringement c=
ases in which there is no genuine contestable issue as to the infringement =
and abuse that has taken place.

Candidates for operating the URS are expected to meet the requirements outl=
ined in the RFI, which include, for example, a demonstrated understanding o=
f the issues concerning global intellectual property rights and the Interne=
t, proceedings in an expedited online context, dispute resolutions, UDRP pr=
oceedings, and serving as globally diverse and highly qualified neutral pan=
elist. ICANN seeks candidates with a proven ability to manage and support p=
rocesses in multiple languages, in addition to fulfillment of the technical=
 requirements.
