Uniform Rapid Suspension System for New gTLDs: ICANN Seeks Service Providers 
for Uniform Rapid Suspension
Uniform Rapid Suspension or "URS" Service Providers
24 September 2012

ICANN is issuing today a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential 
Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) Service 
Providers<http://www.icann.org/en/news/rfps/urs-24sep12-en.pdf> [PDF, 112 KB]. 
The URS is one of the mechanisms to address trademark protection concerns in 
the New gTLD Program. The URS is expected to provide trademark holders with a 
new, cost effective remedy in addition to those available under the Uniform 
Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and applicable law. The primary 
purpose of the URS is to provide for rapid suspension of domain names on 
trademark infringement cases in which there is no genuine contestable issue as 
to the infringement and abuse that has taken place.

Candidates for operating the URS are expected to meet the requirements outlined 
in the RFI, which include, for example, a demonstrated understanding of the 
issues concerning global intellectual property rights and the Internet, 
proceedings in an expedited online context, dispute resolutions, UDRP 
proceedings, and serving as globally diverse and highly qualified neutral 
panelist. ICANN seeks candidates with a proven ability to manage and support 
processes in multiple languages, in addition to fulfillment of the technical 
requirements.
