Email from WIPO - help to understand needed
Fellow warriors,
I have received this email from WIPO today, but my lack English skills don't allow me to understand it right. They call me "Complainant", but I have never complain to anything. Please, help me to understand what they want and advise what I should do.
This email was sent from Domain.Disputes@wipo.int to (Lawyer's email), cc to whois@fastdomain.com and to me.

I didn't do anything yet, because I have to understand what all this mean. Could you explain me in plain English what it is?
Thanks in advance.

| Re: Case No. D2011-1722 <victozaweightloss.com> Notice of Change in Registrant Information Dear Complainant, Further to our Acknowledgment of Receipt of Complaint, please be advised of the following: The registrant of the disputed domain name in the above referenced proceeding has been identified by the concerned Registrar, FastDomain, Inc., as being different to the entity named in the Complaint as Respondent. The registrant information we have received from the Registrar is as follows: >> My address is here << Please be advised that this invitation is not being issued by the Center as a formal deficiency under the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (Rules), and that (although the Center generally recommends such amendment, as indicated also at the end of this email) you are not being (formally) required as such by the Center to file an amendment to the Complaint (or an Amended Complaint) in light of the same in order to proceed with the Complaint as filed. If you choose not to accept this invitation to file an amendment to the Complaint (or Amended Complaint), we would ask that you confirm your election to proceed with your Complaint without amendment by October 22, 2011, on the basis that any resultant (or related) issues of proper Respondent identity would in any case need to be considered at the discretion of the (to be) appointed panel in due course. If you should choose to accept the invitation and file an amendment to the Complaint (or an Amended Complaint) in light of the provided information, we would ask that you do so by October 22, 2011. If you so choose to amend the Complaint, with a view to notification of the Complaint and implementation of any Decision under the Policy and Rules, we suggest that any such amendment should at a minimum contain the additional information which has been provided by the Registrar (as provided above). While such amendment is commonly made by the simple addition of the newly identified registrant to the Complaint (i.e., in addition to the original named Respondent), any final determination as to the proper identity of the Respondent(s) will be at the sole discretion of the Panel to be appointed in this case. We note also that any such amendment may have consequences for mutual jurisdiction and communications, and that the corresponding mutual jurisdiction and communications paragraphs of the Complaint may need to be addressed in any such amendment to the Complaint. You may also consider amending the facts and arguments in the Complaint in light of the above. Any submission by you to the Center as a result of this notice must be signed and should be copied to the Respondent(s) as named therein and the concerned Registrar. Any such amendment to the Complaint (or Amended Complaint) shall be submitted to the Center electronically (e.g., by signed PDF using the email address: domain.disputes@wipo.int). Any such submission should be made to the Center by October 22, 2011. Should the Center not receive any such amendment (or alternately, your confirmation that you elect not to file an amendment) by October 22, 2011, we will proceed to formal Complaint Notification on the assumption that you chose not to make an amendment to the Complaint in light of this notice. For avoidance of doubt regarding the Center's notification obligations under the Policy and Rules and to preserve the Panel's discretion (on appointment) to consider any Respondent identity issues, the Center will nevertheless provide a copy of the Complaint both to the Respondent as currently named in the Complaint, and to the registrant contact details subsequently disclosed by the Registrar. To the extent that the Center's recommendation would be sought in this regard, it would be (if only to avoid potential decision implementation issues) to amend the Complaint in light of the disclosed information. While the decision to amend (or not) is at the discretion of the Complainant at this stage of the proceedings, we would note that it is also within an appointed Panel's discretion to require such amendment (and/or further procedural steps) at a later stage, or to take such other steps (including at the level of any issued decision as it may consider appropriate in light of any determination it may make regarding proper Respondent identity.) If you have any questions and would like to discuss any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Valeria Anchini Case Manager WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center |
Thanks in advance.
