Country name reservations and their actual use

Alexander Svensson sent a comment about the WIPO2 recommendations to ALAC: ICANN already had to deal with the request by its Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) to reserve country names under the .INFO top level domain. Interestingly, it seems that only a small group of governments has put the reserved domain names to use.

The results of a quick series of WHOIS queries are here. Out of 223 country names checked, 202 are simply reserved by ICANN.

ICANN posts proposed additional corrections to bylaws

Writes Louis Touton: Over the past several weeks, various technical flaws (omissions, inconsistencies, etc.) to the bylaws have been called to my attention. In response, I have prepared and posted a set of technical corrections that I propose be made to the bylaws. They are posted at <http://www.icann.org/legal/ proposed-bylaws-corrections-11may03.htm>. The intent is to have the Board consider corrections these at its 2 June 2003 meeting. Any comments on these proposed revisions, or other technical corrections that you are aware of, should be made by sending me an e-mail at <touton@icann.org>.
