Greater protections are needed against conflicts of interest within the not-for-profit body responsible for governing the internet, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Rod Beckstrom, chief executive and president of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN<\/a>), said it is important to ensure that particular industry groups do not unduly influence its policy.<\/p>\n

This is particularly pertinent given the incoming generic top level domain name<\/a> (gTLD) regime – with ICANN set to rule on individual applicants’ cases later this year.<\/p>\n

Businesses and organizations still have another month to make gTLD applications, with the 90-day registration window closing on April 12th.<\/p>\n

At this point, ICANN will consider each individual application and decide whether it fits the criteria to be awarded a generic domain name.<\/p>\n

ICANN members have been asked not to participate in policies for the new gTLDs<\/a> if they have outside roles which may create a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n

“We have tried to put in a very wide separation so the issue has a clear line of demarcation,” said Mr. Beckstrom.<\/p>\n

This is to ensure that absolute dedication to the public good supersedes all other priorities, he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
