A Latin American law firm has established a division for policy advice and regulation of TLDs along with domain name issues and IP numbers in general.
The practise was established by Iriarte & Asociados, based in Peru, but with wide connections throughout Latin America and the world more generally. Its principle, Erick Iriarte, has had a long engagement with domain names including being the General Manager of LACTLD (ccTLDs Association of Latin American), as well as a member of the Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Group of the Internet Governance Forum, a member of Team Accountability and Transparency Review of ICANN, web editor of LatinoamerICANN Project and consultant for several ccTLDs in LAC.
This new division will focus on ccTLDs and gTLDs assist directly in both the development of policies, Delegation Dispute Resolution and relationship with governments, private sector and civil society. In the same way, this division will generate reports on international trends in the different areas related to TLDs (internet governance, intellectual property, dispute resolution, law enforcement, among other topics).
This division arose from the experience in Project LatinoamerICANN, the experience of active participation of Alfa-Redi in regional areas and global Internet governance and professional experience in the field of intellectual property, particularly a special dispute resolution of domain names.
One of the first challenges that this division will face is the process of new gTLDs to ICANN and its implications, especially in regard to intellectual property and trademark law. As new trends in the international dialogue on the ownership of domain names.
The law firm Iriarte & Asociados is a group of lawyers specialising in the interrelation between law and the Information Society, being the areas of policy and regulatory framework for information society, our main strength, along with the so-called right of new technologies and intellectual property.
