==ICANN Involvement== | |||
AIPPI members are actively involve in sharing their comments and recommendations regarding the activities and policies of the [[ICANN|Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]]. On June 8, 2001, AIPPI commented that the [[WIPO]]2 Report was a success because ICANN decided to adopt and implement the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy to regulate the generic top level domain name ([[gTLD]]. AIPPI made the following comments and suggestions:<ref>[AIPPI COMMENTS ON WIPO2/RFC3, June 18, 2001]</ref> | |||
* Cases filed under the UDRP should be limited where a clear abuse of registration happened and maintain simple system of rules and regulations. | |||
* Regulations related to the Domain Name System ([[DNS]]) should not be use to change intellectual property laws worldwide just to provide additional rights to property owners. | |||
* Regarding the issue on International Non-proprietary Names, AIPPI pointed out that protection should only be extended when an increased number of abusive registration requires solution. In addition, the organization also expressed that it does not support restrictions on domain names for INNs. | |||
* AIPPI does not also support total restriction on domain name registration for International Governmental Organizations. | |||
* On issues related to personal names, AIPPI believed that the current UDRP system should remain and individuals can file a case against an entity if he or she can establish proofs that the name is also a trademark. | |||
* AIPPI did not support any measure to implement protections related to names of places and countries but supported extending the UDRP to protect trade names. | |||
* The organization suggested that the current information on the Whois data base should remain in the record and suggested that intellectual property owners and enforcement agencies should have access to the data base. | |||
