> UDRP stands for Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy and consists of a set of rules which help decide who ought to own a particular domain name (e.g. [theregister.com](http://theregister.com)) in the case of a dispute over ownership…

They are: the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), based in Geneva, Switzerland; the National Arbitration Forum (NAF), based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US; eResolution, based in Quebec, Canada; and the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (CPRADR), based in New York, US…

The rules place the burden of proof on the respondant (defendant), and the complainant gets to choose which arbiter hear the case. WIPO and NAF have repeatedly shown a strong lean towards the bigshots, and have consequently garnered the lion’s share of the cases (and resultant fees). :rolleyes:
