ICANN Launches Study About Effects on DNS Root System
In accordance to the supported idea of maintaining a secure and stable internet network, ICANN has decided to launch a study which is expected to examine the impact of the new gTLD Program on the DNS root system.
The chosen providers will have to develop and run a research on the data from the root servers regarding mainly the historical performance and the data offered by the previously conducted studies. At the end of this study, it will be possible to obtain a review about the impact of the Program on the DNS root system, identify the necessary steps needed to add more TLDS and to assess the situation of the root zone on a continuous basis.
The providers which will be chosen for this process will have to be qualified for this job in order to be able to run this complex task efficiently and in due time.
The study is a result of the continuous commitment of ICANN to assess the possible effects of the new gTLD Program on the specific operations of the DNS root servers and to delay delegations so they will not put the system’s security at risk.
Guess Wins Guess-Factory.com Domain Name in Arbitration
Guess won another UDRP case seeking to obtain the transfer of Guess-Factory.com. The company submitted the complaint with the National Arbitration Forum on April 28,2015.
According to whois records, the domain name was first registered in March,2015
Guess owns many trademark registrations for the “Guess” mark all over the world. Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.Moreover,the company managed to demonstrate that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name and that the respondent used the domain name in bad faith .
The arbitrator assigned to the case ruled in favor of Guess,indicating that the company has full rights to the disputed domain name .The respondent’s loss was also partly due to the fact that he failed to submit a response in this proceeding ,accepting these way Guess’s allegations as fact .
