The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is the committee in charge of the system used to keep track of the registration of domain names on an international level. If there is a dispute between a trademark owner and a domain name owner, the case will go into arbitration through a system set up and run by the committee. This system is known as the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy.
Using the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
In order for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to grant a trademark owner the right to order the transfer of a domain name, he must first prove a number of things. He must show that the domain name is identical or similar to the trademark. In addition, he must prove that the registrant has no real interest in the domain name and that its use is in bad faith.
You should be careful when going into arbitration over a domain name dispute. Oftentimes the results are binding, and the outcome might not be what was expected. This is why it is a good idea to deal with the non-binding arbitration rules set up by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
The Root Server System Advisory Committee recommended the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers add Ipv6 name server addresses to their plate so they will be available to Top Level Domains. The two-letter codes seen in many internet addresses are examples of TDLs. The RSSAC also suggested that the IANA add new policies to deal with possible problems that these changes might create.
