The Report on the Internet Domain Name Process (April 30, 1999) of the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) formulated recommendations aimed
at alleviating intellectual property conflicts in the gTLDs.  WIPO was
requested by its member Governments to develop a cooperation program for the
administrators of ccTLDs to advise them on intellectual property strategy
and management for their domains, including dispute prevention and
resolution. Following this request, WIPO launched its ccTLD Program.  This
includes the provision of dispute resolution services through the WIPO
Arbitration and Mediation Center to any ccTLD administrator for that
purpose.

A draft of guidelines ("ccTLD Best Practices") was announced at the WIPO
Conference on Intellectual Property Questions Relating to the ccTLDs.
Public comment can be submitted on-line by April 30, 2001 after which the
document will be published in final form.

Please note the immediacy of this deadline.

Regards
Patrick Corliss
