Registration Abuse – ICA joined a working group on registration abuse.
ICANN policy forum – the organization attended the ICANN Policy Forum held at the headquarters of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce last month.
New York law in response to Kentucky domain seizure? – ICA is closely following a proposed law in New York that would classify computers as gambling devices. This is certainly a proactive step in response to Kentucky’s bid to seize gambling domain names.
