Americanidol.ca and 3 other recent CDRP decisions

Four complaints; four orders to transfer. Complainants under the CIRA Dispute Resolution Policy are certain to be celebrating the latest batch of decisions. In four decisions released this year, arbitrators ordered the transfers of all disputed domains:
- windows7.ca (decision)
- americanidol.ca (decision)
- sickchildren.ca (decision)
- revenuquebec.ca (decision)
Interestingly, in the sickchildren.ca decision, the panel noted the registrant agreed to the transfer but asked to be compensated. The panel refused to order compensation and said:
“The Registrant has requested an order mirroring that of the Complainant’s, namely that the Domain Name be transferred to the Complainant. In making this request, the Registrant has stipulated that such an order by the Panel include a condition as to the future use of the Domain Name by the Complainant upon its transfer and a requirement that “adequate” compensation be paid by the Complainant to the Registrant concurrently with the transfer. Without attempting to determine whether or not the Panel has the jurisdiction to order compensation be paid or to include conditions as part of an order to transfer the Domain Name, the Panel finds no merit in the stipulations included by the Registrant in its request to transfer the Domain Name.”
