New gTLDs: Protection of geographical names in Europe
Objective
Respond to the Sub-Pro PDP on gTLDs to ensure that in the public interest European geo-names of all kinds, are not exposed to open speculative registrations allowed by ICANN.
The session will endeavor to assess the risks of open, speculative delegations and the eventual costs to local communities and final users arising from the unregulated sale of 'premium' domains, or even the geo-TLDs themselves.
Description
The session will explore and report on the needs and interests of users for geographical identity, the existing scope and opportunities for legal protection, intellectual property aspects including AOC, and alpha3 codes in ISO3166 and ISO 4217, including for example, EUR.
