Afnic publishes the summary of contributions received as part of the public consultation on the proposed mediation procedure for .fr and French overseas domain names.

" This public consultation concerns the plan to launch a mediation service as an amicable means of resolving disputes between rights holders and holders of domain names under .fr

This project forms part of our broader measures for combating abuse and more specifically facilitating the resolution of disputes concerning domain names.
These plans were submitted to Afnic’s consultative committees on 18 October 2022 and this public consultation incorporates the suggestions made on that occasion.

Since the launch of the SYRELI procedure in 2011, Afnic has handed down 2,207 rulings. Between 2012 and 2022, Afnic saw an increase of more than 75% in the number of decisions handed down. In 8% of cases, the holder spontaneously agreed to the measure demanded by the claimant, and in 25% of cases, the holders defended themselves by giving substantiated responses to contest the claimant’s demands.
It is in these two cases, in which the holder responds, that Afnic intends to offer this mediation service. This represents around 700 rulings since the launch of the SYRELI procedure."

That sounds great, to have an internet domain name mediation service in France.
Has anyone on this forum had any experience with the Syreli procedure? Did they find the process fair and effective?

There is additional informaition about the Syreli procedure available as well. For those not familiar with AFNIC, this is how they describe themselves:

Afnic is the acronym for Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération, the French Network Information Centre. The registry has been appointed by the French government to manage domain names under the .fr Top Level Domain. Afnic also manages the .re (Reunion Island), .pm (Saint-Pierre and Miquelon), .tf (French Southern and Antarctic Territories), .wf (Wallis and Futuna) and .yt (Mayotte) French Overseas TLDs.

It's fascinating to see how France as a country is addressing these tld issues. Thanks for the information!
