Of much concern to me is: “In relation to potential misuse of the respective
names on the second level: In the event that a government or relevant public authority
(or the GAC) notifies ICANN that there is misuse of any second level domain
name in relation to the provisions of article 2 of the GAC principles, ICANN
shall notify the registry and request the suspension of the said name pending
the withdrawal of the objection by the relevant government. GAC considers that
the respect for such provisions and procedures needs to be a contractual
obligation on the part of the registry.” So government or ‘relevant public authority’ get
a complete veto over any domain name and there isn’t even a the
possibility of a dispute resolution process. So governments or ‘relevant
public authority’’s could abuse this. this is not transparent. Zahid Jamil Barrister-at-law Jamil
