Attorney Doug Isenberg of The GigaLaw Firm moderated a program titled “The Great Debate Over Domain Name Disputes,” organized by the Canadian International Internet Dispute Resolution Centre (CIIDRC), on January 31, 2023.
The program, featuring three Canadian domain name panelists in addition to Doug, focused on important topics under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the CIRA Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (CDRP) for dot-ca domain names. The participants discussed the following:
To what extent a domain name registrant is responsible for the content on an associated website.
Whether domain names consisting solely of dictionary terms or geographic names are appropriate for disputes.
What impact, if any, a domain name registrant’s demand for money should have on the “bad faith” element of the UDRP and CDRP.
