Dear Farzaneh,<br>
In early 2017 we learned that PIR was, on its own initiative and
with no public input, creating a UDRP-like arbitration system to
rule on copyright claims against the contents of a website,
presumably leading to domain name suspension or transfer. When EFF
began asking questions about this, PIR announced that it was no
longer pursuing it.<br>
<br>
See<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pir.org/5776-2/">https://pir.org/5776-2/</a><br>
<br>
As this is no longer an active initiative, I do not recommend that
you bring it up at the PIR Advisory Council. But if PIR should again
raise proposals to regulate the content of websites and Internet
services as a domain registry in ways not required by its ICANN
contract (whether for copyright enforcement, pharmacy registration
enforcement, or any other goal) I encourage you to speak out about
it.<br>
Best,<br>
