Updated list of experts - ADR PARL ExpertAbout ADR PARL EXPERT
This legal procedure is one of the two extrajudicial inter partes procedures for resolving disputes set by Afnic.
Put in place by Afnic in collaboration with the WIPO, the World Intellectual Property Organization, decisions are passed by experts selected on file by Afnic and the WIPO.
The provisions of the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution, or ‘PARL’ in French) Regulations apply to all holders of domain names under any of the TLDs managed by Afnic. These procedures are for you if you can show standing and you consider that the domain name falls within one of the cases provided for in Article L.45-2 of the French Post and Electronic Communications Code.
