Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy (SDRP)

New gTLD registries are required to have a SDRP at start-up. Registries may contract directly with FORUM to provide the required SDRP services. Registries may customize their SDRP Policy; however, the Rules for the procedural administration of cases will remain the same across all SDRP iterations, to keep the costs to users low and the administration consistent.
The purpose of the SDRP is to resolve disputes over domain names improperly allocated during a Registry's Sunrise Period. SDRP disputes are typically time limited.

Registration Eligibility Dispute Resolution Policy (REDRP)

The REDRP is a modular policy new gTLD Registries may adopt to protect or enforce their registration policies. It is not directly sponsored by, or endorsed by, ICANN. Registries adopting FORUM's REDRP are contracting directly with FORUM to provide the REDRP services that the Registry is choosing to, or is required to, provide.
The template REDRP is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate most registries, however, FORUM will work with Registries to make limited changes, as needed. The Rules for the procedural administration of cases will remain the same across any REDRP iterations, to keep the costs to users low and the administration consistent.

Custom Policies

In addition to providing dispute resolution services for TLDs in their sunrise period or for pre-defined registration eligibility criteria, FORUM specializes in custom-crafting dispute resolution policies to meet a registry's needs. Examples of Policies that were specifically customized include the UDRP-F for Frogans, Central Nic's CDRP, .music copyright policy, and the Reserved Names Challenge Policies for fTLD's .bank and others.

UDRP-F logoUDRP-F OP3FT
The Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy for Frogans Addresses (“UDRP-F”) has been adopted by the OP3FT for the resolution of trademark infringement claims regarding Network Names and Site Names of Frogans Addresses. While the UDRP-F is substantially similar to the UDRP, there are some changes, most notably a different nomenclature. Rather than domain names, Frogans Addresses use a system of Network Names and Site Names. The Rules govern the process for bringing a UDRP-F dispute and are complemented by FORUM's Supplemental Rules. Disputes may be brought over either a Network Name or a Site Name. Learn more about Frogans technology here.
The UDRP-F online filing platform shares a platform with UDRP. The platform will bring your case into the system and allow you to pay online. Please make sure you understand how UDRP-F differs from UDRP by reading the instructions given in the Model documents. Alternatively, to file a Complaint or Response, email case documents to domaindispute@adrforum.com.
