DRP (Domain Resolution Policy)

Alternative dispute resolution policies used by various domain registries to handle domain name conflicts. Similar to UDRP but specific to certain TLDs. For example, .UK has its own DRS (Dispute Resolution Service). These policies provide faster, cheaper alternatives to court litigation for domain disputes.
