INTRODUCTION
The CIIDRC will be hosting a half-day UDRP Panelist Training Workshop via Zoom, on October 5, 2023 and will run the program again on October 12, 2023 for participants in another time zone. You can register here for either the first session or the second session, depending on your time zone.
