Ms. Rosette has extensive expertise in domain name matters.  She is the Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC) (North America) representative to the ICANN Generic Names Supporting Organization Council, which develops and recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the substantive policies relating to the domain name system, including such matters as generic top level domains (gTLDs) and Whois.  Ms. Rosette is deeply involved in ICANN policy development relating to Whois, domain tasting, and the introduction of new gTLDs.  She negotiated the terms and passage of the recent GNSO Council motion that ended the policy development process on Whois and avoided radical change to it; wrote and implemented the IPC Supplemental Request for Information on Domain Tasting that provided trademark owners with the opportunity to articulate to ICANN the harms caused by domain tasting; drafted policy recommendations on the introduction of new gTLDs and to curb domain tasting; and chaired the ICANN Protecting the Rights of Others Working Group, which was charged with identifying and recommending “best practices” for the protection of trademark rights in the launch of new gTLDs.  Ms. Rosette prepared comments on an ICANN Preliminary Task Force Report on Whois to which 12 firm clients became signatories.
