Dear All, This was an Article called "ICANN's Domains Under Attack" that was originally published in the December 2012/January 2013 issue of Intellectual Property Magazine. In the wake of ICANN’s failure earlier this year to dismiss anti-trust allegations arising from the new generic top level domain (gTLD) rollout, ICANN now faces challenges to the delegation of 190 of the newly applied for gTLDs. Two federal court filings in California, bookends to ICANN’s recent meeting in Toronto, portend just a few of the many minefields ICANN will be forced to navigate before the current gTLD rollout is accomplished. See: http://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/icanns-domains-under-attack-18367/ ICANN has been taking alot of heat for trying to insert a clause within the RAA but if you see the levels of exposure that it currently has and those that it stands to face, I personally can understand why ICANN would like to reserve the ability to exercise its authority to protect itself.
