Monday is the deadline to submit comments to ICANN regarding the changes to the UDRP and URS in relations to IGOs, which harm the fundamental rights of domain name owners, that I discussed in Friday’s blog post.
I’m still working on my lengthy submission (over 100 pages long now), as the ICANN materials are replete with serious issues that harm registrants and I want to be as thorough as I can in the limited time available.
While I work on it further, I fed the latest draft into Google’s NotebookLM AI tool, and it generated a relatively high quality podcast summarizing some of the issues.
Since my written submission will be quite technical and dense, folks might find the less technical AI-generated podcast to be more accessible as a general introduction to the issues. If you feel that more time is needed to study this issue, I encourage you to ask ICANN to extend the deadline to the end of summer, via their public comment tool.
