.nz names dispute policy

Both the Dominion Post and the NZ Herald have stories on the recommendation by an InternetNZ working group to introduce a dispute resolution process (involving meditation and arbitration).

The two stories have most of the details, but those interested in the details, and the reasoning can look at the paper here. This is not the final policy which is yet to be drafted, and consulted on.

Again, I’m a member of the panel which made the recommendation, so my view is obviously in favour, but feedback always welcome.
