New Zealand's domain name Dispute Resolution Service (DRS) came into effect on 1 June 2006, to deal with complaints over the use or registration of .nz domain names. Closely following the UK's Nominet domain name procedure, the DRS has been very successful in its first year. The lates decision, regarding the TeachNZ.co.nz has shown that, like its counterparts in the United Kingdom, the DRS is willing to take a relatively relaxed approach to what constitutes "rights in a name" for the purpose of bringing a complaint.
