The ADNDRC provides domain name dispute resolution services through offices in Beijing and Hong Kong. The North America-based National Arbitration Forum was established in 1986.
ICANN's new transfer rules stipulate that unanswered domain name transfer requests will be automatically processed within five days. Critics say the new measures could make it easier for domains to be hijacked.
