About the Course:
The Nominet domain name Dispute Resolution Service has now been in operation for over 10 years. The purpose of this 2-day conference is to provide a high level, in-depth review of the operation of the service for the benefit of academics, practitioners and domain name registrars and registrants, the end-users. The event will include workshop break-out sessions tutored by members of Nominet’s panel of independent Experts and its team of in-house mediators.
This will be the first seminar of its kind dealing in depth with the Nominet DRS, which is now handling on average as many as 60 disputes per month. It is a ‘must’ for anyone with a serious interest in the procedure.
