ICANN Ombudsman investigating inconsistent fresh TLD objection decisions

ICANN’s Ombudsman is looking into consistency of fresh top level domain name objections.

Both fresh top level domain name applicants and objectors have been grasping for options following falling on the adverse side of panels’ decision.

Many have filed reconsideration requests with ICANN’s board, all of which have been denied so far. Others have turned to courts.

ICANN seems content to sit on the sidelines and see how everything plays out.

Which is why upset parties are probably excited to see that the ICANN Ombudsman Chris LaHatte is mulling over the issue. LaHatte previously weighed in on the issue of late objections, offering his determination of what would be fair.

Now he’s trying to collect more information and facts from affected parties. You can read more here.
