David Olive added to Tayfun Acarer's remarks: "Four years ago with the help of then-minister Yildirim and Mr. Acarer, we were happy to launch the ICANN regional hub in Istanbul, and I was employee number one. Today 20 staff members are working out of the Istanbul hub and I am glad to tell you, 17 are from the talented young Turkish workforce.

While the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension procedure (URS) are mechanisms to protect the marks of rights holders, not all IGOs and INGOs can use them due to the lack of trademarks or issues of jurisdictional immunity. Since June 2014, a policy development process working group in the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) has been tasked with developing policy recommendations that enable IGOs and INGOs to effectively access curative rights protection mechanisms. The working group has published an initial report with a set of preliminary recommendations and conclusions.
