<big><b>[[Drop-Catching]]</b></big>
<br />
[[Drop-Catching]] is the process of registering expired [[domain name]]s by means of automated systems within a short period of time (even a fraction of a second) after being canceled by the registry. Simply put, the auto-registration of domains in the moment of their deletion. Drop-Catching is performed by various companies known as "drop-catchers". The process of drop-catching is different from registering expired or new domains. The main objective of drop-catching is to secure expired domain names once these are dropped from the domain [[registry]]. This process depends on instantaneous actions, so [[domainer]]s must act as soon as possible in order to secure these domains.

<big><b>[[Name Collision]]</b></big>
<br />
A [[Name Collision]] describes the circumstance in which a term attempting to reach a private [[Domain Name]] results in resolving to a public Domain Name unintentionally. Private domain names are used in Intranets and in many corporations and organizations throughout the world. A domain name on a private network that matches a name in the public Internet can create security risks, confusion, and systems failure. Although the Name Collision issue is not new, a renewed interest in the issue came about in 2013 as [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]] was preparing to delegate hundreds of new domain names to the [[Root Zone]]. The topic was debated fiercely within the ICANN community when a report by Interisle Consulting was prepared for and released by ICANN.<br /><br />

That's it, happy editing!

Current Focus

Our focus this season is: ccTLDs. Our community is working together on surfacing information about these stakeholders, including going over documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information.
