Reax To Cybersquatting Group's Launch
The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse launched Tuesday (see Technology Daily's PM Edition for details) with a mission to curb cybersquatting. The Internet Commerce Association's Philip Corwin, who represents domain-name investors and the direct-search industry, said he looked forward to working with the new kid on the block.
ICA wants to help assuage CADNA's "legitimate concerns about trademark infringement" on the Web, he said. Corwin's group supported a restocking fee for domain names ending with the .org suffix, which helped eradicate abusive domain "tasting." His members would welcome steps by ICANN and VeriSign to achieve the same result in the .com sphere.
Corwin went on to say that while ICA believes that such market-based mechanisms are the best approach, his group will carefully review any legislation proposed by the new coalition "to assure that it respects and affirms the rights of domain-name investors and preserves vigorous competition in consumer search models."
