I write a lot of articles bashing decisions made by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) panelists in UDRPs. So I think it’s only fair that I give the group props when it’s deserved. The new top level domain name objection process has reminded me how WIPO’s online reporting systems are way, way better than the competition. Three organizations are handling top level domain name application ... read more ...

ICANN needs to chuck TLD field a bone on name collisions - If delays are necessary, ICANN should pitch in for monitoring and notification system. A couple weeks ago new top level domain name applicants received some very unwelcome news: many of their TLDs could be significantly delayed due to security concerns about “name collisions”. Basically, some private networks already ping non-existent top level domain names that applicants have applied for. This leads to so-called name collisions. ICANN should have undertaken ... read more ...

A dotless top level domain name would resolve without a dot. For example, while something.example will resolve in most browsers, http://example will not.
