Dispute Resolution Policies:

Eligibility Reconsideration Policy

Applicants and registrants can file a request for reconsideration against a decision by the Sponsor:

(a) that the applicant does not meet the .aero eligibility requirements and so is not entitled to an Aviation Community Membership ID (a requirement to obtain a .aero domain name); or
(b) that the registrant does no longer meet the .aero eligibility requirements and so its domain name license is revoked and the corresponding domain name is cancelled.

Charter Eligibility Dispute Resolution Policy

All registrants agree to be bound by the CEDRP. The CEDRP applies to challenges filed by a third party to registered .aero domain names on the grounds that the registrant does not meet the .aero eligibility requirements.

Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy

All registrants agree to be bound by the UDRP. The UDRP applies to challenges to registered domain names based on the grounds that:

(i) a domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark in which the complainant has rights; and
(ii) the registrant has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(iii) the domain name has been registered and used in bad faith.
