? sorry, that doesn't compute.  1) barring technical screwups in the 
registry-registrar interactions, there is only one registrant for a 
particular name.  So for any given name, if there is a dispute, one disputant
holds the domain and the other doesn't; 2) if we are talking about 
different domains registered by different parties, then the udrp deals 
with disputes between existing holders.

?? There was a very long and large scale review process, international in 
scope, and with multiple revisions along the way.
