                                Section 4.11.2 of the WIPO Overview 3.0 states that where a complaint is filed against multiple respondents, panels generally look at whether (i) the domain names or corresponding websites are subject to common control, and (ii) the consolidation would be fair and equitable to alle parties. Additionally, panels also take the procedural efficiency of a consolidation into account.<\/p>\n
