All sensitive domain names disputes are governed and administered in accordance with .my DOMAIN REGISTRY’s Sensitive Name Dispute Resolution Policy (SNDRP), Rules of the .my DOMAIN REGISTRY’s SNDRP and AIACSupplemental Rules.
A sensitive name dispute arises when a complainant feels or believes that a registered “.my” domain name contains such sensitive words and the sensitive names dispute resolution is a process that allows a complainant to challenge the registration of such domain names.
AIAC provides a simple, fast and affordable resolution of .my domain name disputes. SNDRP governs the terms of resolving a dispute between the owner of a .my domain name and a Complainant over the Respondent’s registration and/or use of a domain name which contains a Sensitive Name.
If a complainant is successful in establishing its case, the disputed .my domain name will be deleted.
However, if the Respondent is able to prove that the disputed domain name is not a sensitive name, the domain name will remain with the Respondent.
For guidance on filing a sensitive name dispute case, please peruse the Process Flow Chart and submit the completed forms to AIAC. Please do not hesitate to call the Centre should you require any assistance.
