October 20,2007 ICANN Meeting, Los Angeles
QUOTE FROM ARTICLE: IP Community Critical Of Proposals On ICANN Agenda
Issues also heavily touch intellectual property issues and therefore are likely to lead to heated discussions. New TLDs face similar implications with regards to possible trademark or naming rights infringements. What is more, a draft by ICANN’s Generic Name Supporting Organisation (GNSO) on ICANN’s necessary evaluation of new TLD application requests also proposes checks on moral and public order - a task for which ICANN’s not fit, according to the Keep the Core Neutral Coalition (KTCN).
KTCN wants ICANN to “stay within its technical mandate and refrain from embedding particular national, regional, moral, or religious policy objectives into global rules over the use of language in domain names,” the organisation said in a Monday press release. It announced a plan to hand a petition to ICANN on 1 November and is soliciting signatures.
