[SubPro-IRT] Topic 21.1: Geographic Names - Updated

[gopal]

Thank you for the mail. I am reading the responses.

A 2012 World Intellectual Property Organization [WIPO] Magazine article on The Evolving Domain Name Landscape wrote: “Only time will tell what the impact of ICANN’s introduction of over 1,000 new gTLDS will be on brand owners and the internet-using public.”

There are several articles and many case studies since then. WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center has very authentic documentation of several cases. In 2014 alone there were 2000+ cases.

Towards "dot.anything" global village that internet makes happen, there is a need for:

#1.

Appropriate Principles

I suggest consulting again  the August 18, 1997 document from the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration that outlines the appropriate principles for good governance on the Internet.

Geographical Names are more than strings. They need very special set of principles.

#2.

Transparent criteria that should be appropriate for the types of risk associated with the TLD, and should not set anti-competitive or discriminatory conditions relating to access by third parties

Dear IRT Members,



We’ve updated the Geographic Names AGB section<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N1iLzfPp4IeTuTyO46T7WSjww7kpe_fzJIVOaSQ5qwI/edit?usp=sharing> based on the discussions held on the 3 October IRT call. As noted during that session, we will not be having another dedicated call on this topic but can continue to discuss this on-list if there are any comments or concerns.



As a reminder, past agenda items and video/audio recordings from the previous session can be found on the IRT Community Wiki.<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=273449325>



Thank you!



Best,



Michael
