Protecting Interests

The IPC is one of three constituencies in the GNSO’s Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG), along with the Business Constituency (BC) and the Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers Constituency (ISPCP). The Constituencies of the CSG work together to protect the varied interests of the private sector.

The IPC has been at the forefront of global advocacy efforts for transparency and accountability in the DNS, in support of protection and enforcement of trademark and copyright rights online. The IPC represents the interests of intellectual property owners during the planning, and implementation and roll-out of ICANN’s New gTLD Program, where over 1,000 new gTLDs will ultimately be part of the domain name landscape.
