Restrictions Dispute Resolution Policy ("RDRP")

General Information

All ICANN-Accredited Registrars in the .biz top-level domain shall follow the Restrictions Dispute Resolution Policy (referred to as the "RDRP"). Under the policy, several types of disputes alleged from a violation of the Restrictions Document (for example, from a .biz domain name used exclusively for personal noncommercial use), as set forth in the .biz Registration Restrictions, may be addressed by expedited administrative proceedings. To invoke the policy, a third party may submit a complaint to an approved dispute-resolution service provider.
