Commercial internet monopoly proposed

That ICANN becomes an international Intellectual Property protector - overriding national laws. Proposed creation of already opposed “Thick Whois”- a publicly visible database of domain owners - without doing a privacy analysis, nor taking into account national laws nor International Privacy Standards, such as 1980 OECD.

Contrary to national laws, the IRT report burdens Internet users with costs of protecting private Intellectual Property. ICANN derives its revenues from users thus if adopted the “IP Clearing house” administration costs will be borne by consumers.
