[Comments-dpml-modification-15aug18] Public Interest Letter Opposing Modification of Domains Protected Marks List Service
by Kathy Kleiman Sept. 24, 2018

Sept. 24, 2018

Dear Mr. Atallah and ICANN Staff, On behalf of the undersigned professors and practitioners below, I submit the attached letter in opposition to the modification by Donuts of its DPML service. This seemingly mild RSEP technical request to change the Donuts’ registry agreement (across its 300+ top-level domain names) is actually a shocking request. It would give trademark owners vastly more control over the use of words and phrases than trademark law provides or permits, and in so doing, trample the free expression rights of consumers, civil society, and even other trademark owners. Our attached letter outlines these legal and language concerns in greater detail. We strongly urge your rejection of this Donuts proposal. Sincerely, the undersigned: A. Michael Froomkin, Laurie Silvers & Mitchell Rubenstein Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Miami* Martin Silva Valent, Esq., Partner @ Silva.legal, Founder @ Datas [www.dat.as] Professor at Universidad de Palermo, GNSO Councilor at ICANN* Erik Pelton, Esq., Erik M. Pelton & Associates, PLLC Kathryn A. Kleiman, Esq., Center for Information Technology Policy, Princeton University* Leah Chan Grinvald, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, Suffolk University School of Law* * Affiliations provided for identification purposes only

[Comments-dpml-modification-15aug18] Business Constituency (BC) comment on proposed Modification of Domains Protected Marks List service (DPML)
by Steve DelBianco Sept. 24, 2018

Sept. 24, 2018

The Business Constituency (BC) appreciates the clarity that this modification will bring to the operation of the Domains Protected Marks List (DPML) service. Rights holders rely on cost-effective and rapid measures to protect their trade marks against abusive registrations and the resultant consumer confusion and deception that such registrations can cause. All end-users of the DNS deserve to be certain that the string they type into their browser will resolve to the site that they intend to access. the DPML service assists rights holders in trying to ensure that this is indeed the case, helping to maintain a clean online environment for all. -- This comment was drafted by Marie Pattullo and Vivek Goyal. It was approved in accord with our Charter. -- Steve DelBianco Vice Chair for Policy Coordination ICANN Business Constituency
