The following is the NPOC, a proposed constituency within the NCSG, position on Section 6: For the members of the proposed Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency, DNS abuse poses real problems to our infrastructure and the communities we represent. For example, charitable organizations accept donations online and academic organizations offer high-stakes standardized exams. Intellectual property rights, such as trademark and copyright, offer our members a tool to combat DNS abuse. We greatly appreciate the efforts of the Board and the GAC to ensure these tools are made available as best as possible. Specifically we are pleased with the progress made regarding URS and the Trademark Clearinghouse - important tools, if accompanied with the right policies and procedures, that can assist our organizations effectively execute its missions and important work. Because of the budget limitations facing our organizations, we will have to rely heavily on the protections afforded by the Trademark Clearinghouse and the URS - areas discussed in Section 6 of the GAC New gTLD Scorecard. We need these tools, such as the TrademarkClearinghouse to assist with the prevention of DNS abuse (keeping in mind the limited financial resources that prevent some not for profit organizations from registering their names), or the URS, to assist in the prompt and inexpensive resolution of DNS abuse. While we recognize these tools cannot solve the entirety of the problem, nevertheless, we need these tools to be as strong as and efficient as possible. Additionally, we need these tools to be affordable. We request the Board and the GAC to consider the needs of not-for profit organizations as you move forward in your consultations. |
