Support Internet Commerce Association
The Internet Commerce Association’s legislative agenda includes – but is not limited to -- several key issues: Legislative Agenda for Protection of Domains and Domain Holders:
-
ICA Member Code of Conduct The Internet Commerce Association’s (ICA) Member Code of Conduct expresses the ICA’s recognition of the responsibilities of its members to the intellectual property, domain name, and at large Internet communities and will guide members in conducting their domain name investment and development activities with professionalism, respect and integrity.
-
Stop reverse domain name hijacking. Respect for trademark owner’s rights must be balanced by registrant’s rights especially for domain names that have generic meaning.
-
Promote competitive pricing for domain name registration and related fees
-
Condemn click fraud, phishing, child pornography and other types of criminal activity on the internet. Cooperate with other groups who are working to end domain name abuse that is harmful to consumer confidence in internet commerce.
-
Internet governance, including the future role and transparency of ICANN, its relationship with the U.S. government, the administration of the generic top level domains (gTLDs) and the rules and laws relating to the WHOIS database
Regular updates will be provided to members regarding the current status of legislation or actions by the administration related to our issues on an ongoing basis.
