Sedo Supports Internet Commerce Association
June 22, 2008 |
|
On the opening day of the Domainer Meeting, the Internet Commerce Association
(ICA) announced that, in cooperation with EuroDNS, it will establish a sister
organization in Europe.
Internet Commerce Association-Europe (ICA-EU) will be headquartered in
Luxembourg to better represent its members with the EU Parliament and agencies
located in Brussels, the European Court located in Luxembourg, and the separate
governments of the nations of Europe. Sedo, a founding member of ICA and with
headquarters in Cologne, Germany, London, UK, and Boston, USA, enthusiastically
supports the formation of ICA-EU.
ICA is a non-profit trade association headquartered in Washington, DC. Its
mission is to promote the benefits of the activities of professional domain name
registrants (domainers), the individuals and companies that invest in and
develop domain names, as well as the companies that serve them through the
provision of various services. It seeks to preserve the entrepreneurial
environment of the Internet that has made it such an innovative and high-growth
arena for commerce in the U.S., Europe and worldwide.
Domainers internet investments are challenged by a number of competing
interests that would like to more readily obtain the transfer of valuable domain
names by changing the laws and policies that govern trademark disputes in the
European Union and the U.S., as well as the process established by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the resolution of domain
name disputes. Some governments are also advocating policies that would threaten
the owners of valuable geo-domains, while others seek to censor internet content
including domain name content. Domainers often invest large sums of money to
purchase and develop their domains and require a stable and fair legal and
policy environment to protect those investments. ICA and ICA-EU will coordinate
their activities to explain and promote the interests of their members to
national governments, the EU, ICANN, and all other relevant policy-making
bodies.
Many of the policy decisions affecting domainers are made by ICANN, which is
tasked with policy making for generic top level domains (gTLD) such as .com,
.org and .net. While gTLDs are the most dominant TLDs in the U.S., country code
TLDs (ccTLD) such as .de and .uk are more commonly used in European e-commerce
and much of the policy decisions that affect European domainers are made by the
ccTLD managers. With its headquarters in Europe, ICA-EU will be able to better
represent the interests of European domainers to the ccTLD managers and national
governments of the continent. The establishment of ICA-EU also emphasizes that
the Internet is a global platform for communications and commerce and that
domainers must adopt an international approach in promoting and protecting their
shared interests.
Jeremiah Johnston, ICA President, states This is a big step for ICA as it
reaches out to fulfill its worldwide mission. EuroDNS has been actively involved
with multiple European governments and ccTLD managers effecting legislative and
policy issues over the last several years. ICA is happy to have EuroDNS assuming
a leadership role in the establishment of ICA-Europe. We hope that ICA-Europe is
the first of what will eventually be many sister organizations. There has
already been interest expressed from Latin America in forming a regional
organization there.
Xavier Buck, EuroDNS CEO, says EuroDNS is excited to help expand ICA into
Europe. We saw what ICA achieved to foster a better legislative climate for
domainers in the US and we are delighted to play our part to bring the same to
Europe. All of us want to see the Internet remain a place where entrepreneurs
can thrive and we really think EuroDNS can be of great help
ICA-EU expects to begin operations by early fall when it will also launch its
website in multiple European languages.
