Stakeholders have been consulted and encouraged to participate in this process to ensure the scheme meets their needs.”

“We are thrilled that the NZDRC will administer the .nz Dispute Resolution Scheme. We want to ensure .nz is world-class, and we have chosen the NZDRC based on their extensive experience and established presence in the market.

We look forward to working with them to serve the needs of our evolving market.”
