*/ICANN and the New Top-Level Domains/*

American University Washington College of Law, Room NT01

Monday, February 25, 2019

1:30-5:30pm

/We are in the midst of an historic expansion of internet domain names 
with more than 1200 new generic top-level domains (“gTLDs”) now 
competing with <.com>. This 5000% increase in gTLDs is the biggest 
change to the internet's domain naming system in thirty years (and more 
are coming soon!). Accompanying these new gTLDs, are new and 
innovative--but little known--IP rights protection mechanisms. These 
developments could have a profound impact on the rights of IP owners, 
domain name registrants, and the public, and on the architecture of the 
internet./
