First Decision Under New French Dispute System Published

AFNIC’s new dispute resolution system, Syreli,  is now live with one decision published so far.

The first case involved infragenius.fr

The case was processed fully in less than a month, with the initial complaint being logged on November 22nd 2011 and the decision being handed down on December 19th 2011.

The first case was pretty simple and wasn’t that contentious with the registrant being a former manager of the complainant company.

What is a little different is that the resolution provider appears to be AFNIC staff and not an neutral 3rd party. Handling simple complaints like this one might be ok, but are they going to work out as well when they have to deal with the really complex ones?
