Evan, I agree with your assessment that there are typosquatting issues that impact end users. The following finding was particularly disturbing: "Childrens sites are highly targeted by typo squatters. The average for the category is 8.4% and 24 of the top most squatted sites are childrens properties for kids 12 and under. Add in sites like MySpace and Miniclip and more than 60 of the top most squatted sites are properties that appeal to the 18 and under demographic." One of the powers that the ALAC has is to request an Issues Report on topics of concern. In my view, ICANN will need to deal with the typosquatting issue (that has evidently reached epidemic proportions in the wake of domain tasting) at some point -- it's certainly within ICANN scope and it clearly impacts a number of communities --... so why not start now? regards, Danny ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better pen pal.
