[The Management of Internet Names and Adddresses THE MANAGEMENT OF INTERNET NAMES AND ADDRESSES: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ISSUES Final Report of the WIPO Internet Domain Name Process http://wipo2.wipo.int April 30, 1999 The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is an organization founded through a treaty by States, which has 171 States of the World as members. The member States established the Organization as the vehicle for promoting the protection, dissemination and use of intellectual property throughout the world for economic, cultural and social development. The Organization provides services both to its Member States and to the individuals and enterprises that are constituent of those States. The services provided by WIPO to its member States include the provision of a forum for the development and implementation of intellectual property policies internationally through treaties and other policy instruments. The services provided to the private sector by WIPO include the administration of systems that make it possible to obtain protection for patents, trademarks, industrial designs and geographical indications in multiple countries through a single international procedure. The operations of WIPO are financed as to 88 per cent by fees generated by the Organization for the services it renders to the private sector, and as to the remaining 12 per cent by contributions made by the Member States.

  • The Diego Garcia Dispute Hits Cyberspace As Internet Domains Go, .Io Is a Money Spinner
    The Diego Garcia dispute hits cyberspace As internet domains go, .io is a money spinner. Would a change to the “British Indian Ocean Territory” cancel an asset? By Dr James Mortensen & Samuel Bashfield The dispute over the ownership of Diego Garcia and the rest of the Chagos Archipelago involves a complex array of legal, human rights, security and geopolitical issues. The United Kingdom wants to retain the islands it calls the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT). Mauritius wants to see the islands ceded to it. The United States wants to keep its military base. And many of the Chagossian diaspora who were forcibly removed decades ago want to return. This multi-sided dispute has now been further complicated by arguments over ownership of the territory’s internet domain – “.io”. It seems that digital players may be increasingly caught up in geopolitics. In the early days of the internet, countries and dependent territories were assigned a two-letter code to form part of the domain extension in a web address – .au for Australia, .uk for the United Kingdom, .nz for New Zealand, and so on. What might have initially seemed just an administrative designation has now become big business. Responsibility for administration of these codes was granted by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to so-called “responsible agents”. The identity of these agents varied widely between different nations. For example, the .au domain is regulated by the Australian government, but the .uk domain is left to the private sector. BIOT received the domain designation .io, and the UK government left it entirely to the private sector to manage and profit from.

Judy Adamec, Otter Tail County, MN Ms. Adamec’s predicament is not unusual. Like her, thousands of residents across Minnesota lack functional access to what is, undoubtedly, the most meaningful technological development of our lifetimes. If Ms. Adamec’s connection doesn’t allow her to pay bills online, she certainly will not be able to take advantage of online education, telemedicine, or telecommuting. These broadband-intensive applications (requiring, at a minimum, 10 Megabits per second, some up to 1 Gigabit per second, and all growing) give users the capability to perform remotely functions traditionally done in person, allowing services to reach more people, for a lower cost, and with a lower impact to the environment.

    Information Rights Unit WH 2.177 King Charles Street London SW1A 2AH Email: [email protected] www.gov.uk/fcdo Dr Jonathan Levy Email to: request-715599- [email protected] 26 May 2021 Dear Dr Levy, FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) 2000: INTERNAL REVIEW: IR2021/03127 Thank you for your email of 10 February requesting an Internal Review (IR) of our response to your request ref FOI2021/00635 as follows: I am writing to request an internal review of Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office's handling of my FOI request 'Re: BIOT 1997 ICB (Internet Computer Bureau) Agreement'. The document witheld deals with the creation of CCTLD .IO in 1997. CCTLD .IO is a Generic Country Code Top-Level Domain or gccTLD and refers to those TLDs which are technically "non-restricted ccTLDs" but used like traditional generic TLDs (gTLDs) rather than "country" targeted ones. Use of CCTLD .IO is not restricted to BIOT but has been used commercially internationally by tens of thousands of companies. The current owner is Donuts Inc. which is the parent company of Internet Computer Bureau Ltd (ICB) which it acquired through the purchase of Afilias Inc. in December 2020. Afilias Inc. acquired Internet Computer Bureau Ltd. in 2017. It is therefore doubtful that release of a 1997 document would harm Donuts Inc. Release is in the public interest as the ownership of CCTLD .IO is under dispute by the Chagossian people. Further the derecognition of the BIOT entity by the United Nations has placed in question the substantial investments that thousands of Internet based companies have made in ccTLD .IO.
