Hi, I received UDRP complaint agaist one of my domains.
The domain consists of two keywords, the first keyword is a trademark belonging to the complainant.
I have compiled a response to the complaint, officially sent it.
The penalist has been appointed.
Now, I got contacted by the complainant lawyer (the same lawyer represents the complainant at the UDRP proceedings).
He wants to cancel the proceedings and to buy the domain.
Assuming, theoretically, that I agree too sell the domain, can it be considered to be a bad faith?
Thanks!

P.S. The lawyer wants to sign a paper, containig something like this (shortened version)

The Parties hereby request that the Administrative Proceeding for the above
referenced Complaint be Stayed for a one-time period of forty-five (45) days
pursuant to UDRP Supp Rule 6(b).
If this matter is not settled and no request to continue the Administrative Proceeding is received
by the FORUM on or before DATE, the parties hereby request that the Complaint be
withdrawn and the claim dismissed without prejudice. Supp Rule 6(b)

If your domain was registered before their trademark/business and didn't infringe the trademark or there is no reason to be believe that the domain was registered in bad faith, it will just be a Reverse domain name highjacking.

Even if it's not but for other reasons they believe that they can't win the case after seeing your response, to withdraw the udrp case they need to settle with you. They can't just withdraw it themselves now. Probably that's the reason they are asking you to sign the paper.
You can check how much @jberryhill charges for the consultation and better proceed to sell the name to them and then sign the paper after legal consultation.
Just my opinion.

I don't get why they don't just use the BIN button and click pay. Then they'll be the owners and will be suing themselves. They can then sign their own papers saying nevermind.

When an domain is in a UDRP/WIPO situation, does ICANN do something to the nameservers or something? I assumed business continued as usual until something changes at the end of the case.
