[nc-udrp] UDRP Survey Analysis Chart
Dear All:
They say that imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery. Accordingly, Katrina please consider
yourself flattered. I simply took Katrina's format and style of analysis
and applied it to my eight questions. ;-).
I do have some comments for the
group. First, Milton, Caroline, on a couple of the questions which
required the respondent to rank the choice, I received all choice equally ranked
as no. 1. Would this occur if the respondent failed to make any
choices? I only ask the because these two forms were only sparsely
completed. I just wonder about integrity here.
Second, I suggest that everyone
look to question seven first. Two my respondents identified themselves as
"complainants" and on question seven stated that they were counsel for the
complainant in a UDRP action. So much for clear instructions.
My responses were only surprising
in that, overall, the respondents all seem to be rather happy with the UDRP as
it stands. There was a uniform call to amend 4(a)(iii) to read "registered
or used in bad faith." I was also surprised that the majority of
respondents did not want an appeals process built into the UDRP. In
addition, the majority of respondents felt that a complainant shooed be able to
reply to a response or amend a complaint if circumstance warrant such
steps. Equally, all seemed to feel that a respondent should have some
leeway to react to chaining circumstances.
Overall, I felt the results were
positive; however, you can review the chart I prepared and judge for
yourselves.
Hope all is well.
Regards.
