A roundtable discussion with the topic ‘Who does my Internet domain belong to?’ took place on June 14th at the Serbian Internet Domain Home, where the Rulebook on Arbitrage Proceedings for Settling Disputes Arising out of the Registration of .rs Domains and the Cooperation Agreement between the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and the Serbian National Internet Domain Registry were presented.
The Rulebook regulates proceedings before the Commission for Settling Disputes, established under the Serbian Chamber of Commerce. It complies with the principles of ICAAN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Process (UDRP) and the .eu Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR EU) rules.
The new Rulebook became effective on May 17th 2011. One of the major changes compared to the previous document is that the decision of the Commission for Settling Disputes Arising out of the Registration of .rs Domains needs not be final, since after the decision of the Commission the parties can also address a regular court in order to settle their dispute.
Mr Dušan Popović, the President of the Commission for Settling Disputes Arising out of the Registration of .rs Domains and Mr Marko Jovanović, the Vice President of the Commission, spoke at the roundtable discussion. The discussion was introduced by Mr Vladimir Đelić, the Secretary of the Commission, and Mr Dejan Đukic, the Manager of Legal Affairs with RNIDS. Over 30 participants attended the convention which was moderated by Mr Slobodan Marković. The roundtable discussion was organised by the Serbian National Register of Internet Domain Names and the Serbian Chamber of Commerce.
