==ICANN Defensive Registration Debate==
==ICANN's Actions on Defensive Registration Concerns==
A [[New gTLD Program Committee]] composed of all non-conflicted voting members of the [[ICANN Board]] was established by the internet governing body to decide on issues related to the new gTLD program such as the concerns over the perceived need for defensive TLD applications for trademark owners to protect their intellectual property rights. ICANN also increased awareness regarding the program's protection mechanisms such as the objection process. In addition, the opened a public comment period to tackle the issue on defensive registration and to provide recommendations to resolve it. Furthermore, the New gTLD Program Committee ''"directs the staff to provide a briefing paper on the topic of defensive registrations at the second level and requests the GNSO to consider whether additional work on defensive registrations at the second level should be undertaken."'' <ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-10apr12-en.htm Approved Resolution | Meeting of the New gTLD Program Committee]</ref> <ref>[http://domainincite.com/icann-reopens-defensive-registration-debate/ ICANN reopens defensive registration debate]</ref>
