ICANN GNSO Votes to Kill Domain Tasting
The ICANN Generic Names Supporting Organization has had tasting on its agenda since last fall, with a staff report issued in January, and a proposed anti-tasting policy written in March. On Thursday the 17th, the GNSO put the proposed policy to a vote, and it passed overwhelmingly. Under ICANN rules, the ICANN board has to take up the resolution at its next meeting, and since it was approved by a supermajority, it becomes ICANN policy unless 2/3 of the board votes against it, which in this case is unlikely.

How Can I protect My Company's Domain Name?
Trademark based-Domain Names have become a precious corporate asset that both large and small companies are willing to protect against unauthorized use or abusive registration. Yet, protecting those domain names at an international level may prove costly and complicated. For these simple reasons the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") wisely implemented two documents that have been crucial for companies engaged in protecting their domain names. The first document is the called "Dispute Resolution Policy" ("Dispute Policy") and the second document is called "Rules for Uniform Domain Name Disputes Resolution Policy" ("Dispute Rules"). This article briefly explains these two international measures to solve domain name controversies.
ICANN Dispute Resolution Policy is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism to help companies defend their domain names, implemented in 1999. Registrars in the .com, .info, .net, .org, .biz, .name, top-level domain follow the 'Dispute Policy' procedures to defend their domain names in two types of disputes; (1) trademark-based disputes, and (2) disputes arising from abusive registration of domain names which is commonly known as cybersquatting. In addition to the above top-level domain names, other country-code top-level domains have adopted the ICANN Dispute Policy. For example, .nu, .tv, .ws. Thus, country-code top-level domain holders facing domain name controversies (or those doing prior analysis) should search whether their country registrar has adopted the ICANN Dispute Policy. It is important to note that the terms of the ‘Dispute Policy" will be automatically incorporated within the Registration Agreement between the registrar and the domain name holder (or country code registrars).
According to the ‘Dispute Policy' procedures, trademark-based disputes may be solved by agreement between the parties, court action, or arbitration. In this case, the complaint must be filed before a court of proper jurisdiction against the domain name holder. Those complainants accusing third parties of violation of their trademarks on domain names usually file complaints based on international or domestic intellectual property laws, or WIPO arbitration mechanisms. Yet, the ICANN dispute mechanisms are also available for them.
New Languages Added to ICANN's IDN Wiki
MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: Hebrew and Amharic speakers now have dedicated wiki pages to share their experiences as a part of the global evaluation of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) being done by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. "Since its launch in October 2007, the IDN wiki has helped ICANN and the Internet community look at exactly how IDNs operate in the root, and how different software handles domain names in characters from different scripts," said Tina Dam, ICANN’s IDN Program Director. "We’re hoping that Internet users who understand Hebrew and Amharic will access these wiki pages and share their experiences." The IDN wiki was initially based on 11 example.test domains in Arabic, Persian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Japanese and Tamil. The wiki allows Internet users to establish their own subpages with their own names in their own language such as example.test/yourname.

ICANN Votes No To Tasting
Domain tasting is the disreputable practice of registering lots of domains, seeing how much traffic they get, and then using the five day Add Grace Period to refund the 99.9% of them that aren’t worth paying for. A related abuse is front running, registrars speculatively grabbing domains that people inquire about to prevent them from using a different registrar.
