Sunrise Recommendation #4 In the absence of wide support for a change to the status quo, the Working Group does not recommend the publication of the Reserved Names lists by Registry Operators. |
Context:
The Working Group had diverging opinions on whether Registry Operators should be required to publish their Reserved Names lists.
Some Working Group members noted several possible registry concerns if Registry Operators were required to publish their Reserved Names lists, including but not limited to: 1) potential legal violations and security risks; 2) revelation of the confidential business plans of the Registry Operators; and 3) practical problems related to the publication.
Other Working Group members discussed possible problems that the publication of the Reserved Names lists could solve, particularly for trademark owners and registrants.
