Purpose: Explain objectives, ICANN alignment, and the problem it addresses.

1. Overall Goal

Strengthen domain name holders’ ability to navigate the UDRP through training, open materials, and accessible legal guidance.

2. Alignment with ICANN’s Mission

• DNS Stability and Security: Improves legal awareness and protects DNS integrity.

• Innovation with Social Impact: Reduces information asymmetries and opens access to dispute resolution.

• Resilience and Prevention of Loss: Prevents unjust loss of domains, supporting a more resilient Internet.

• Equity and Fair Practices: Promotes balanced outcomes between parties with different resources.

3. The Challenge

Many domain name holders lack the financial and legal means to defend themselves in UDRP cases, often facing large organizations with experienced counsel. This project levels the playing field through education, resources, and expert assistance.

4. Our Approach

• Tailored education and training.

• Accessible legal resources (checklists, templates).

• Expert guidance from our lawyers, with the collaboration of our practicing law students.

• Innovative combination of prevention, preparation, and intervention.
