[NCUC-DISCUSS] Domain name rules in today's TPP leak

[Mariia Parubets]

Dear all,

I think this article is of interest in this regard: http://www.ip-watch.org/2014/02/18/where-policy-fora-collide-country-code-top-level-domains-and-the-tpp/  
As I see it, one of the most important arguments here is quite simple, one can not put sign(s) of equality between ccTLD, relevant community and state. 
A bit off topic, but still related question though - is anyone aware of a study/data, which will clearly show how many  "country code domain registries have their own, open, community-driven processes for determining rules for managing domain name disputes» and what are these rules?
Thanks in advance!

Best, 
Mariia

> 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.”

> 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?

More than that, this top-down rulemaking on domain names is in direct contravention of the U.S. administration's own firmly-stated commitment 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."
