In addition, we have just assisted the New Zealand equivalent of Nominet to copy the DRS to deal with domain name disputes there, advised South Africa on their possible service and Norway and Switzerland continue to use processes which borrow heavily from ours.

Then on this news article from 22nd November it says:
allAfrica.com: South Africa: Regulations to Manage Domain Name Disputes (Page 1 of 1) Quote:
The Department of Communications has published regulations to deal with disputes regarding the .za domain name, in the Government Gazette.
The Alternative Dispute Resolution Regulations that have been signed by Minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri provide guidelines, rules and procedures and also set out fee structures for the adjudication of such disputes.

And then today we have this news article:
My Broadband :: Business & General : Illegal domain name parking rampant in SA Quote:
|
“South Africa should have followed the international example and simply submitted local disputes to the international dispute resolution system. That would have been the logical, cost-effective and fast option. But the recent regulations create a unique system that require the accreditation of dispute resolution providers, the training of adjudicators and the payment of high fees” argues Buys.

So.....
1. Why is the UK DRS system being exported when there are things wrong with it?
2. Which DRS software will South Africa use? Who will train the experts?
3. Why don't they submit cases straight to WIPO?
