"ICANN, the global domain name authority, provoked a furore earlier
this year over proposals that could <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/06/changes-domain-name-rules-place-user-privacy-jeopardy">limit
the ability for owners of domain names</a> to shield their
personal information from copyright and trademark trolls, identity
thieves, scammers and harassers.
<p>The TPP has just ridden roughshod over that entire debate (at
least for country-code top-level domains such as .us, .au and
.jp), by cementing in place rules (QQ.C.12) that countries must
provide “online public access to a reliable and accurate database
of contact information concerning domain-name registrants.”</p><p>The same provision also requires countries to adopt an equivalent
to ICANN's flawed Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy
(UDRP), despite the fact that this controversial policy is overdue
for a formal review by ICANN, which might result in the
significant revision of this policy. Where would this leave the
TPP countries, that are locked in to upholding a UDRP-like policy
for their own domains for the indefinite future?</p><p>The TPP's prescription of rules for domain names completely
disregards the fact that most country code domain registries have
their own, open, community-driven processes for determining rules
for managing domain name disputes. More than that, this top-down
rulemaking on domain names is in direct contravention of the U.S.
administration's own <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-resolution/71/text">firmly-stated
commitment</a> to uphold the multi-stakeholder model of Internet
governance. Obviously, Internet users cannot trust the
administration that it means what it says when it gives
lip-service to multi-stakeholder governance—and that has
ramifications that go even even deeper than this terrible TPP
deal."</p>
