RE: [gnso-igo-ingo] v0.3 Domain Registration Analysis

["Berry Cobb" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Evan and All,

 

Clearly, the confusion is all mine and I think there may be a fourth negative 
in there as well.  30 lashes to me!

 

·         Within the direct-match sample, two instances were found where a site 
may give the appearance of “claiming to be” that may lead to end-user confusion 
in a greater manner than that of a typical parked page for monetization.

o   The first only contains a title of UNICEF on the landing page, which is not 
a parked page.  While it is only a title, it did make me pause to determine if 
it was perhaps part of UNICEF or not (http://www.unicef.hk)

o   The second example mimics characteristics of a WTO webpage, but perhaps it 
could be just a complaint site.  I can only raise the question of labeling its 
use, but there seems to be confusion as to whether it is an official WTO site 
without referring to WHOIS (http://www.wto.com).  Note, that I had this 
originally labeled as GREEN in the WTO column of the spreadsheet, but I have 
changed it to RED in my next version.

·         Outside of these two examples, the remainder of domains registered 
and that were not in control of the organization in question appeared to be 
either a typical parked site or it did not resolve.

 

We will discuss this aspect further at our meeting tomorrow in relation to the 
“Changes to Consider” section.

 

I hope this resolves the confusion of my bullet point.  B

Hi Barry,

 

Thanks a ton for this.

 

Just a question based on my own linguistic confusion:

 

·         With the exception of two instances, none of the direct match domains 
that are not in control by the respective organization did not reveal a threat 
of where the registrant was attempting to mimic or claim to be the said 
organization.

 

I have a hard enough time with double negatives, and this is a triple. Is there 
a better way to state this?
