We have received a request to see if the registrars and/or 
registries would
be willing to include a link or reference to the UDRP Review 
questionnaire
on their websites.  I am simply passing this on to the 
council and in
particulr the Registry and Registrar constituencies to the 
extent they can
help us.

UDRP Questionnaire


I am not so sure that the providers could provide 
the URL through some
automatic mechanism for fear of running afoul of spam 
provisions and privacy
provisions that differ from country to country.  
That being said, I think
groups like ICANNWATCH.ORG and ICANNBLOG.ORG could 
get the message out to
some interested parties.  I also think that the 
providers could post a
message and the URL on their home pages.  Lastly, 
we might ask the
registrars and registries to assist us by positing the URL 
on their sites
and sending the URL to parties who receive their electronic 
updates.

Those are about all the suggestions I have.  If anyone is 
connected to the
press, give them a call.
