(d)应被投诉人请求,争议解决机构可在个别案件中延长提交答辩的期限。该期限亦可由当事人书面约定展延,只要该约定经争议解决机构确认。

(e) 如果被投诉人未提交答辩,如无特殊情形,专家组应依据投诉书审理争议。

6、专家组的指定及裁决期限

(a) 每个争议解决机构应拥有并公开印发专家组成员及其资质的名册。

(b) 如果投诉人和被投诉人均未选择三人专家组(第3(b)(iv)条和第5(b)(iv)条),争议解决机构将在其收到被投诉人答辩或提交答辩期限届满后5日内从专家组成员名册中指定一单人专家组成专家组。一人专家组费用应全部由投诉人支付。

(c) 如果投诉人或被投诉人中的一方选择将争议交由三人专家组裁断,争议解决机构应根据第6(e)条所规定的程序指定三位专家。三人专家组费用应全部由投诉人支付,但三人专家组由被投诉人选择者除外。在后一种情形下,所涉费用应由双方各半分担。

(d) 除非投诉人已经选择了三人专家组,投诉人应在载有被投诉人选择三人专家组信息的答辩书后5日内,向争议解决机构提交作为专家组成员之一的三位候选人的姓名和详细联络信息。这些候选人可从经CANN确认的任一争议解决机构的专家组成员名单中选定。

(e) 一旦投诉人或被投诉人中的一方选择了三人专家组,争议解决机构应尽量从投诉人及被投诉人提供的候选人名单中各自指定一名专家。如果争议解决机构不能在5日内按其惯常条件从当事人双方候选人名单中各自指定一位专家,争议解决机构将从其专家组成员名册中予以指定。第三位专家应由争议解决机构从其提供给当事人的5位候选人名单中指定。争议解决机构对第三位专家的指定应合理的平衡双方当事人的意愿,正如当事人双方在其收到争议解决机构提供的5位候选人名单后5日内所明确的那样。

(f) 一旦专家组成立,争议解决机构应将指定的专家名单及如无特殊情况专家组应将其关于投诉的裁决提交争议解决机构的日期通知双方当事人。

7、独立与公正

专家组成员应独立公正,并应在接受指定前向争议解决机构披露对其独立公正产生合理怀疑的任何情形。如果在行政程序进行过程中的任何阶段出现了可导致对其独立公正产生合理怀疑新情况,则该专家组成员应立即将该情形向争议解决机构予以披露。在这种情况下,争议解决机构有权指定替代专家。

8、当事人与专家组间的联络

任何一方当事人或其代理人均不能与专家组进行任何单方联络。当事人一方与专家组或争议解决机构间的所有联络均应通过争议解决机构以争议解决机构补充规则所规定的方式指定的案件管理人员进行。

9、案件移交专家组

当专家组由一人组成时,该专家一经指定,或当专家组由三人组成时,最后一位专家一经指定,争议解决机构即应将案件移交专家组。

10、专家组一般性权利

(a) 专家组应以其根据争议解决办法和本规则而认为适当的方式进行行政解决程序。

(b) 在所有的案件中,专家组应确保当事人双方被平等的予以对待,每一方当事人均拥有平等的机会陈述案情。

(c) 专家组应确保行政程序快速进行。专家组可应一方当事人请求或自行决定在特殊情形下延长本规则或专家组所确定的期限。

(d) 专家组有权决定证据的可接受性、关联性、实质性和重要性。

(e) 专家组可应一方当事人的请求根据争议解决办法和本规则对多个域名争议合并审理。

11、行政程序所使用的语言

(a) 除非当事人另有约定或注册协议另有规定,以及专家组根据行政解决程序的具体情形另有决定,行政程序所使用的语言应是注册协议所使用的语言。

(b) 专家组可裁定要求当事人提交的任何非以行政程序所使用语言作成的文件均应全部或部分地附有行政程序所应使用语言的译文。

12、进一步陈述

除投诉书和答辩书外,专家组可自行决定要求当事人一方就所涉案件提供进一步的陈述及有关证据。

13、当庭听证

除非专家组自行决定,作为一个另外,当庭听证对裁断投诉确有必要,正常情况下当庭听证不应予以安排(包括以电话会议、视频会议及网络会议方式所进行的任何听证)。

14、缺席

(a) 如若当事人一方,在没有特殊理由的情形下,不遵守本规则或专家组所确定的任何期限,专家组将继续进行行政程序,直至就所涉投诉作出裁决。

(b) 如果当事人一方,在没有特殊理由的情形下,不遵守本规则中任何规定或本规则下任何要求或专家组任何指令,专家组应以其认为适当的情形对此予以推论。

15、专家组裁决

(a) 专家组应基于当事人所提交的陈述及证据,根据争议解决办法、本规则以及可予使用的法律规则和原则裁决争议。

(b) 如无特殊情形,专家组应在其依据第6条被指定后14日内将有关投诉裁决提交给争议解决机构。

(c) 专家组裁决应为书面,说明裁决理由,注明裁决作出日期,并写明专家姓名。

(d) 专家组裁决及不同意见通常应符合争议解决机构补充规则关于文件长度的要求。

任何不同意见均应与多数意见裁决一并列明。如果专家组认为所涉争议不在争议解决办法第4(a)条范围内,他应予以声明。如果在审阅当事人所提交的文件后,专家组认定投诉具有恶意,属于反向域名侵夺或其投诉本意在于讹诈域名持有人,专家组应在其裁决宣布投诉人的投诉具有恶意并构成对行政程序的滥用。

16、裁决送达当事人

(a) 在收到专家组向其传送的裁决后,争议解决机构应于3日内将裁决书全文传送给各方当事人、有关域名注册管理机构及ICANN。有关的注册管理机构应立即将其根据争议解决办法执行裁决的日期告知各方当事人、争议解决机构和ICANN。

(b) 除专家组另有决定外(见争议解决办法第4(j)条),争议解决机构应将裁决的全部内容及其执行日期于社会公众可自由进入的网站上公布。无论如何,任何裁决中有关投诉构成恶意的部分均应予以公布。

17、和解或其他终止程序的理由

(a) 如果在专家组作出裁决之前,当事人自行达成和解,专家组应终止行政程序。

(b) 如果在专家组作出裁决之前,因任何原因行政程序已无必要继续进行或不可能继续进行,专家组应决定终止行政程序,除非一方当事人在专家组规定的时间内提出合理的反对理由。

18、司法程序的效力

(a) 一旦在行政程序开始之前或进行的过程中就已成为投诉标的的域名争议提起了任何司法程序,专家组有权决定中止或终止行政程序,或继续行政程序,直至作出裁决。

(b) 行政程序的一方当事人在行政程序进行期间就已成为投诉标的的域名争议提起任何司法程序,其应立即通知专家组和争议解决机构。见上述第8条。

19、费用

(a) 投诉人应根据争议解决机构补充规则的规定,在规定的时间内,按要求的金额,向争议解决机构支付起始固定的费用。如被投诉人根据第5(b)(iv)条选择将争议交由三人专家组裁断,而不是交由投诉人选择的一人专家组裁断,三人专家组固定费用的一半应由被投诉人承担,交付争议解决机构。见第5(c)条。在所有其他情形下,投诉人应承担争议解决机构所有的费用,第19(d)条规定的情形除外。专家组一经指定,争议解决机构应根据争议解决机构补充规则的规定,将适当比例的起始费用,如果有的话,返还给投诉人。

(b) 在投诉人未根据第19(a)条向争议解决机构交纳起始费用前,争议解决机构不就有关投诉采取行动。

(c) 如果争议解决机构在收到投诉后10日内未收到有关费用,视为投诉人撤回投诉,行政程序予以终止。

(d) 在特殊情形下,例如一旦举行当庭听证,争议解决机构应要求当事人双方另外付费。该费用经商当事人双方和专家组后确定。

20、责任的排除

除故意行为外,争议解决机构抑或专家均不就与本规则下任何行政程序有关的任何行为或疏忽向一方当事人承担责任。

21、修改

有关投诉适用向争议解决机构提交投诉书之时有效的规则版本。本规则只有早得到ICANN明示书面确认时方可予以修改。

3. The Complaint

(a) Any person or entity may initiate an
administrative proceeding by submitting a complaint in accordance with the Policy and
these Rules to any Provider approved by ICANN. (Due to capacity constraints or for other

respect to any challenges to a decision in the administrative proceeding canceling or

Respondent, in which case the applicable fees shall be shared equally between the Parties.
(d) Unless it has already elected a three-member
Panel, the Complainant shall submit to the Provider, within five (5) calendar days of

justifiable doubt as to the Panelist’s impartiality or independence. If, at any stage
during the administrative proceeding, new circumstances arise that could give rise to
justifiable doubt as to the impartiality or independence of the Panelist, that Panelist
shall promptly disclose such circumstances to the Provider. In such event, the Provider
shall have the discretion to appoint a substitute Panelist.

8. Communication Between Parties and the Panel

communication with the Panel. All communications between a Party and the Panel or the
Provider shall be made to a case administrator appointed by the Provider in the manner
prescribed in the Provider’s Supplemental Rules.

9. Transmission of the File to the Panel

The Provider shall forward the file to the Panel as soon as the

proceeding takes place with due expedition. It may, at the request of a Party or on its
own motion, extend, in exceptional cases, a period of time fixed by these Rules or by the
Panel.

relevance, materiality and weight of the evidence.
(e) A Panel shall decide a request by a Party to
consolidate multiple domain name disputes in accordance with the Policy and these Rules.
11. Language of Proceedings

specified otherwise in the Registration Agreement, the language of the administrative
proceeding shall be the language of the Registration Agreement, subject to the authority
of the Panel to determine otherwise, having regard to the circumstances of the
administrative proceeding.

submitted in languages other than the language of the administrative proceeding be
accompanied by a translation in whole or in part into the language of the administrative

request, in its sole discretion, further statements or documents from either of the
Parties.

13. In-Person Hearings

There shall be no in-person hearings (including hearings by
teleconference, videoconference, and web conference), unless the Panel determines, in its
sole discretion and as an exceptional matter, that such a hearing is necessary for
deciding the complaint.

14. Default

(a) In the event that a Party, in the absence of
exceptional circumstances, does not comply with any of the time periods established by
these Rules or the Panel, the Panel shall proceed to a decision on the complaint.

circumstances, does not comply with any provision of, or requirement under, these Rules or
any request from the Panel, the Panel shall draw such inferences therefrom as it considers
appropriate.

of the statements and documents submitted and in accordance with the Policy, these Rules

the Panel shall forward its decision on the complaint to the Provider within fourteen (14)
days of its appointment pursuant to Paragraph 6.

identify the name(s) of the Panelist(s).
(e) Panel decisions and dissenting opinions shall
normally comply with the guidelines as to length set forth in the Provider’s Supplemental
Rules. Any dissenting opinion shall accompany the majority decision. If the Panel
concludes that the dispute is not within the scope of Paragraph 4(a) of the
Policy, it shall so state. If after considering the submissions the Panel finds that the
complaint was brought in bad faith, for example in an attempt at Reverse Domain Name
Hijacking or was brought primarily to harass the domain-name holder, the Panel shall
declare in its decision that the complaint was brought in bad faith and constitutes an
abuse of the administrative proceeding.
16. Communication of Decision to Parties

the decision from the Panel, the Provider shall communicate the full text of the decision
to each Party, the concerned Registrar(s), and ICANN. The concerned Registrar(s) shall
immediately communicate to each Party, the Provider, and ICANN the date for the
implementation of the decision in accordance with the Policy.

Policy), the Provider shall publish the full decision and the date of its implementation

complaint to have been brought in bad faith (see Paragraph 15(e) of
these Rules) shall be published.
17. Settlement or Other Grounds for
Termination

becomes unnecessary or impossible to continue the administrative proceeding for any
reason, the Panel shall terminate the administrative proceeding, unless a Party raises
justifiable grounds for objection within a period of time to be determined by the Panel.
18. Effect of Court Proceedings

(a) In the event of any legal proceedings
initiated prior to or during an administrative proceeding in respect of a domain-name
dispute that is the subject of the complaint, the Panel shall have the discretion to
decide whether to suspend or terminate the administrative proceeding, or to proceed to a
decision.
(b) In the event that a Party initiates any legal
proceedings during the pendency of an administrative proceeding in respect of a
domain-name dispute that is the subject of the complaint, it shall promptly notify the
Panel and the Provider. See Paragraph 8 above.
19. Fees

(a) The Complainant shall pay to the Provider an
initial fixed fee, in accordance with the Provider’s Supplemental Rules, within the time
and in the amount required. A Respondent electing under Paragraph 5(b)(iv)
to have the dispute decided by a three-member Panel, rather than the single-member Panel
elected by the Complainant, shall pay the Provider one-half the fixed fee for a
three-member Panel. See Paragraph 5(c). In all other cases, the
Complainant shall bear all of the Provider’s fees, except as prescribed under Paragraph 19(d). Upon appointment of the Panel, the Provider shall refund

administrative proceeding under these Rules.

21. Amendments
