ICANN and the Violation of Free Enterprise
Summary
A call to ICANN: Allow anyone wanting to create a TLD to simply register it.Article
ICANN should permit anyone with the technical capability to create a TLD to register it, provided it's not already taken. This process should be akin to registering a domain name, but with added technical requirements, positioning ICANN as a comprehensive registry for TLDs.
Imagine a domain registrar like GoDaddy requiring a business plan or non-refundable fees before allowing domain registration. It would be absurd for them to have predetermined rounds for releasing certain domain names and deciding who can manage them after extensive reviews. This situation parallels the current ICANN process for TLDs.
If "info.com" were available and registered, the owner could sell subdomains like "car.info.com" or "icann.info.com" just as easily. In the same way, a domain name is part of a TLD. Thus, ICANN's restrictive approach curtails free enterprise by controlling the creation and management of TLDs.
Consider local business licensing: Cities don’t demand business plans or financial stability before issuing a license, nor do they concern themselves with market demand or potential failure. Yet, ICANN imposes stringent controls on TLD creation, essentially violating the principle of free enterprise.
In countries like the United States, citizens have the right to free enterprise. ICANN’s restrictions on TLD creation violate this right, even though ICANN operates under American law. There is no need for auctions or rounds?"those wanting to run a TLD should simply register it and begin selling domain names. Whether they fail or succeed is part of the business risk.
The artificial limitation of the namespace to satisfy certain business interests must end. By opening up the TLD market, ICANN can foster innovation and support true free trade on the internet.
