House

H.R. 2521, Fair, Transparent and Competitive Internet Naming Act
Sponsor: Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash.
Introduced: June 19, 2003
Committee: House Energy and Commerce
Description: H.R. 2521 seeks to preserve and foster competition among small retailers of Internet addresses by blocking by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) from implementing a waiting list for domain names. The list enables consumers to register to purchase domains when they expire. Baird's bill also would require a probe of certain ICANN operation procedures. The measure was introduced at the behest of several domain retailers.
