Paragraph 5(f)(iv) of the ERDRP states:
"(iv) for successful challenges to Phase I Defensive Registrations on the basis that you did not meet the applicable Eligibility Requirements you will thereafter be required to demonstrate, at your expense, and as set forth in the Rules of Procedure, that you meet the Eligibility Requirements for Phase I Defensive Registrations for all Phase I Defensive Registrations that you have registered within .name with us or with any other registrar. In the event that you are unable to demonstrate the foregoing with respect to any such Phase I Defensive Registration(s), those Defensive Registration(s) will be cancelled."
An ex officio review of all other Phase I Defensive Registrations held by the Respondent is commenced when the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the Center) notifies a list of Phase I Defensive Registrations to the Respondent. The Respondent will then be required to demonstrate its compliance with the .NAME eligibility requirements (contained in Paragraph 2(b) of the .NAME Registration Restrictions) with regard to each Phase I Defensive Registration listed in the notification.
ERDRP Responses to ex officio reviews of Phase I Defensive Registrations must be filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center.
Note: There is no need to send the Response to the concerned registrar(s) or to the Complainant in the previous proceeding.
