Dissatisfaction with the New gTLD program is being expressed in the US

Members of the US Congress are expressing dissatisfaction with the New gTLD program. They want assurances that the new domains will not harm trademark owners.

Trademark owners and public organizations have previously expressed dissatisfaction with the new domain introduction program. They claim the new domains will only deceive consumers.

Several days ago, a formal request was submitted to ICANN on behalf of the leadership of the House of Representatives and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The request asks for detailed information on the measures ICANN takes to protect trademarks and ensure the security and stability of the domain name market.
