Welcome to the Wiki Space of the GNSO PDP Review of all RPMs in all gTLDs Working Grouponline collaborative wiki workspace for the GNSO Working Group that will be conducting a Policy Development Process (PDP) to Review all Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in all gTLDs.

This PDP Working Group is being chartered to conduct a review of all RPMs in all gTLDs conducted in two phases defined , as described in the approved charter [PDF, 524 KB]: Phase One will focus on a review of all the RPMs that were developed for the 2012 New gTLD Program, and Phase Two will focus on a review of the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).

At a minimum, in each Phase of this PDP, the Working Group is expected to first assess the effectiveness of the relevant RPM(s), for which the Working Group should seek the input of experienced online dispute resolution providers and other subject matter experts, as may be appropriate. The Working Group should also consider the interplay between and complementary roles of each RPM in seeking to more fully understand their overall functioning and effectiveness.

In public comments to the UDRP Final Issue Report [PDF, 2.8 MB], the RPM Staff Paper [PDF 2.8 MB], and the Preliminary Issue Report [PDF, 389KB] for this PDP, various community groups and participants had identified a number of issues that they considered appropriate for review in a PDP. As such, and following its preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the relevant RPM(s) in each phase of its work, the Working Group should consider the suggestions that have been made to date by the community regarding improvements or modifications to the RPM(s) in question. These community suggestions are attached to this Charter and they are intended to provide a framework and starting point for the PDP Working Group at the appropriate stage in its work, with further modifications, additions and deletions to be determined by consensus of the Working Group.

This workspace will be updated as the PDP Working Group proceeds with its work.
