Resources suggested by George Kirikos:
- http://www.uia.org/yearbook (a database of over 66,000 IGOs and INGOs. However, it costs $3,030/yr for an annual subscription (and it's unclear whether that database can be shared amongst multiple members of the working group).
- WIPO itself maintains a public Article 6ter database at: http://www.wipo.int/ipdl/en/6ter/(simply clicking "Search" without putting any data into the fields yields 3027 records)
- Search at the USPTO, via: http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp(and then click Trademark Search, Basic Word Mark Search (New User), and then perform a search of "6ter" with a field of "ALL") provides a list of 735 such marks registered in the USA.
- TMView is another tool for researching marks in many countries, see: https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome.html
- Canada's TM database is searchable via: http://cipo.gc.ca/
- There are tools to extract the contact data from the public WHOIS records on a bulk basis to form a data set
- There are tools like UDRPSearch.com to find historical UDRP cases involving IGOs, INGOs, and registrants of short acronyms, etc. PACER exists to find US court cases, although perhaps some of the law firms participating in this working group (or ICANN itself) have access to superior paid tools, like Westlaw, Lexis Nexis, etc.
- CanLII.org is a public database of Canadian court cases
- Sites like DomainTools.com or ZFBot.com to do research on domain names matching various strings
- The OpenCorporates site maintains an index of corporations in numerous jurisdictions, see: http://opencorporates.com/
Other Suggestions from George:
"For the ECOSOC list, I believe a good starting point is at: http://csonet.org/?menu=100. However, while there are 3900 NGOs listed at: http://csonet.org/content/documents/e2013inf6.pdf it's unclear how many of them are INGOs. A search on the page at: http://esango.un.org/civilsociety/displayAdvancedSearch.do?method=search&sessionCheck=false with "Geographic Scope" limited to "International" returns a list of 8390 matches, which is very odd, given that this number exceeds the 3900 NGOs that were supposed to form the entire dataset!
Another dataset that might be of interest, by the way, is the .INT zone file. There's an archive of it from 2012 in the Wikipedia article at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.int (item #6), although perhaps someone at IANA can provide a more recent zone file.
Someone had already analyzed the 2012 list and produced a table of organizations at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organizations_with_.int_domain_names."
