Neil Brown, a frequent UDRP panelist and lawyer has started his own blog at DomainTimes.info.

According to the site DomainTimes.info:

“Is intended to keep you up to date with developments in domain names – especially the arbitration of disputes.”

“Domaintimes wants to be a platform for the exchange of ideas on all issues concerning domain names.”

“So, why not make your own contribution? The whole area of domain names gives rise to a lot of competing views and opinions. There are also plenty of subjects for debate – like the new gTLDs. So, get your own ideas across and influence the debate or even just a case note. We want to hear from you.”

“And we also encourage you to get involved in discussion by posting your thoughts/comments on each of the case notes published on this website.”

According to his blog, Mr. Brown “has had a long and distinguished career in the Law and Government. Since 1964 he has practised in virtually every area of the law, mainly in commercial, construction and intellectual property matters and in 1980 he was appointed Queen’s Counsel.”

“He was a member of the Australian Parliament from 1969 and a Minister and Shadow Minister in the Federal Government of Australia in five portfolios – Business and Consumer Affairs, Employment and Youth Affairs, Communications, Attorney- General’s and Foreign Affairs.”

“He was a delegate to the General Assembly of the United Nations and other national and international organisations. In Parliament, he was an early advocate of international commercial arbitration in Australia under the International Arbitration Amendment Bill 1988.”

“After years of service in these fields he is now practising in mediation, arbitration, the conduct of inquiries and consulting. ”

“His specialities are commercial contracts, trade and intellectual property.”

“He is one of the leading international practitioners in domain name arbitration. ”

We welcome Mr. Brown to the domain blogging community and look forward to reading his thoughts.
