==ICANN and its UDRP==
==ICANN and its UDRP==
[[ICANN]] is involved in counteracting cybersquatting through its creation and implementation of the Uniform Domain Name Resolution Policy, or [[UDRP]].<ref>[http://www.keytlaw.com/urls/udrp.htm Keyt Law]</ref> All registrants of [[.com]], [[.net]] and [[.org]] domains have been subject to the [[UDRP]] since 2000. [[WIPO]] made proposals on domain name security in 2000; they called for a uniform dispute resolution policy and review panels to arbitrate the disputes. After continued work with [[ICANN]], the [[UNDRP]] was accepted at [[ICANN]]'s Los Angeles meeting in November, 2000, and it was implemented two months later.<ref>[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/udrp/overview.html Harvard Law]</ref>

==Continued Issues==
[[ICANN]] has had to postpone plans and readdress its plans to begin the creation of large amounts of [[gTLD]]s given [[WIPO]]'s concerns over the high amounts of cybersquatting complaints. In 2008, [[WIPO]] received 2,329 cybersquatting complaints; that was greatest number of complaints received since the creation of the [[UDRP]]. Thus, [[WIPO]], the U.S. governement, and other interested parties are concerned over [[ICANN]]'s plans to liberalize the creation of new [[gTLD]]s<ref>[http://arstechnica.com/web/news/2009/03/record-cybersquatting-cases-cast-shadow-on-icanns-tld-plans.ars Ars Tecnica]</ref>
