Comments of the International Chamber of Commerce on WIPO rfc-2

The number of such disputes is increasing rapidly worldwide, and the resulting legal uncertainty represents a considerable problem both for business and Internet users.

ICC therefore welcomes the list of considerations for dispute prevention in rfc-2, and believes that they are all factors which would legitimately have to be considered in the context of a mechanism to prevent domain name disputes. ICC would, however, like to point out that the extent to which many of the factors would have to be taken into consideration would obviously depend heavily on methods chosen to allocate domain names, so that the list should be continuously reevaluated as such allocation procedures are refined.
