|---|
Out of ten member countries of ASEAN, only Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Laos have some form of Domain Names Dispute Resolution mechanism. The wordings of the respective DRPs are closely modelled from the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), but of course with some variations to reflect the local flavour. Thus, it is not surprising that, in many cases, the parties as well as the panels often refer to previous UDRP cases to support their arguments. To some extent, this ensures greater uniformity in the decisions.
