“…The ADR is a loosely defined informal way of resolving disputes that differs from typical arbitration or mediation solutions. Drawing an analogy with the domain name ADR systems, such as UDRP (Christie, 2002), it is very narrow in its application, immediately executable by a technical intermediary, and generally convincing by the power of specialized expertize. It is meant to provide for a quick resolution of narrow types of cases in an informal procedure.…”

“…The registrar of the domain name will give effect to the order (i.e. either cancel or transfer the domain name) unless the respondent challenges the decision by filing a court case in the appropriate jurisdiction (Christie, 2002), something which almost never happens. Thus, in practice, the panel's decision is final and binding.…”

We introduce the new task of domain name dispute resolution (DNDR), that predicts the outcome of a process for resolving disputes about legal entitlement to a domain name. The ICANN UDRP establishes a mandatory arbitration process for a dispute between a trademark owner and a domain name registrant pertaining to a generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) name (one ending in .COM, .ORG, .NET, etc). The nature of the problem leads to a very skewed data set, which stems from being able to register a domain name with extreme ease, very little expense, and no need to prove an entitlement to it. In this paper, we describe the task and associated data set. We also present benchmarking results based on a range of models, which show that simple baselines are in general difficult to beat due to the skewed data distribution, but in the specific case of the respondent having submitted a response, a fine-tuned BERT model offers considerable improvements over a majority-class model.
