What are the steps in the arbitration process in regard to a dispute involving a .hk domain name?
Generally speaking, the steps are as follows:- • The Complainant files a Complaint with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC); • The HKIAC notifies the registered holder of the .hk domain name in question of the Complaint and sends a copy of the Complaint to the registered holder; • the registered holder of the .hk domain name in question files a Response; • the HKIAC selects the Arbitration Panel of one or three persons, as the case may be, who will make a determination in regard to the dispute; • the Panel determining the arbitration renders its decision; • if the decision of the Arbitration Panel requires that the .hk domain name in question be cancelled or transferred, the decision is implemented.
