ICANN has launched a 30-day consultation on a proposal from WIPO to allow for paperless UDRP proceedings by amending the UDRP implementation rules. In its proposal, WIPO explains that abolishing the requirement for hard-copy pleadings, in its view, will result in significant time and costs savings. However, it is proposing that notification of the proceedings is still sent by post to a respondent in case its e-mail address is incorrect or inactive. WIPO does not propose any changes to the UDRP itself. The consultation closes on 12 August 2009. Source: ICANN announcement, 13 July 2009
