What are the steps in the administrative proceeding process in regard to a dispute involving a gTLD domain name?
• The Complainant files a Complaint with the one of the two offices (either Hong Kong or Beijing, at the choice of the Complainant), of the Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre (ADNDRC); • The relevant office of the ADNDRC notifies the registered holder of the gTLD domain name in question of the Complaint and sends a copy of the Complaint to the registered holder; • the registered holder of the gTLD domain name in question files a Response; • the relevant office of the ADNDRC selects the Panel of one or three persons, as the case may be, which will conduct the administrative proceeding in respect of the disputed gTLD domain name and which will make a determination in regard to the dispute; • the Panel conducting the administrative proceeding renders its Decision; • if the Decision of the Panel conducting the administrative proceeding requires that the gTLD domain name in question be cancelled or transferred, the Decision is implemented.
