    The domain name system (DNS) is an Internet-wide distributed database of names primarily associated with Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. It is also a tool for locating services since many services are known by their domain name. For example, the hostname www has come to be well known as the name of a system which provides web (HTTP) service, and the domain name www.georgiasouthern.edu is thus known as the primary web server address for Georgia Southern University. A formal policy regarding domain names is necessary because: Individual departments and units within the University need to offer and communicate new or unique services to the Internet. Representation of the University in cyberspace must appear authentic to network users. Central administration of domain names ensures that domains do not unexpectedly expire, or that domains of interest are not lost to the public. There are an increasing number of requests for domain names. There have been requests for ITS to register domain names outside the georgiasouthern.edu domain. Persons have independently created domains for University-affiliated purposes

    This Comment explores the current state of domain name dispute resolution policies and examines why these policies fail to adequately address the concerns of those who want to register nontrademarked domains to which they have legitimate claims. The author begins by reviewing the development of the Internet and the domain name registration system and explores the value placed on recognizable domain names. She continues on to review the currently available avenues to resolve domain name disputes and explores the limits of these avenues with respect to nontrademark owning domain name registrants. The author then analyzes current trademark and private dispute resolution cases and argues that dispute resolution policies should place greater emphasis on the Internet as a noncommercial resource, thereby protecting individuals\u27 rights to register their personal names as domains without having those rights unjustly trumped by trademark owners. The author concludes by suggesting policy changes that would protect individuals in domain name disputes

    The Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical core component of the global Internet and integral to the majority of corporate intranets. It provides resolution services between the human-readable name-based system addresses and the machine operable Internet Protocol (IP) based addresses required for creating network level connections. Whilst structured as a globally dispersed resilient tree data structure, from the Global and Country Code Top Level Domains (gTLD/ccTLD) down to the individual site and system leaf nodes, it is highly resilient although vulnerable to various attacks, exploits and systematic failures

    Cybercrime rates are increasing in Poland and throughout the world. There are many types of offences concerning internet domains, among others, cybersquatting, typosquatting, cyber smearing, and cyberwildcatting.The following article is a comparative study of the settlement of disputes concerning internet domain names taking as an example the Domain Name Court of Arbitration at the Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications (PIIT) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Arbitration and Mediation Center. Between the two processes of recovery of the domains there are many similarities. During the study legislation was sought in the Polish legal system, which is related to internet domains. In Poland, there is no particular legal regulation regarding internet domain names. One may search for protective measures in the Act on Combating Unfair Competition [o zwalczaniu nieuczciwej konkurencji], Industrial Property Law [Prawo własności przemysłowej], and the Civil Code [Kodeks cywilny]. This article commends the settlement of disputes through arbitration and describes them in detail
