New gTLDs[edit | edit source]
At ICANN 42 in Dakar, DelBianco outlined 4 standing issues that the CBUC had with the current new gTLD Applicant Guidebook. These points were later picked up by TLD critics, including ANA and CRIDO, and are likely to influence a December 8th U.S. Senate hearing on new TLDs.[5] Those four points are:
- Terms of Use Compliance- there is nothing witten into the current new gTLD registry contract requiring new registries to follow the approach and model that they publicly state they will.
- Applications for gTLD IDNs- the value of gTLD IDNs was stressed by the CBUC, but they pointed out that ICANN had yet to recognize or publicize this exciting development for the global Internet.
- Trademark Protection- While there are 3 trademark mechanisms in place, one of them, the Trademark Claims Notice Service, can be turned off the day after Sunrise.
- Registrar Code of Conduct- A new registry agreement was developed for the new gTLD program, but ICANN neglected to do something similar for registrars.[6]
