Description
The number of Top Level Domain Names (TLDs) has surpassed 1,000 due to the growth of the Internet, and over 1,000 more TLDs could be added when the next TLDs become available for application in 2026. Because they are so inexpensive, some TLD names are easily to use its original domain names to all users.
However, abandoned domain names are a concern. Although it is still allowed if they are repurchased by an unaffiliated organization and the content is only altered. In certain instances, they have turned into phishing sites. Local governments' domain names are especially reliable, and their content is trusted generally. Local governments rarely notify users that they are no longer utilizing the domain name, nevertheless. As a result, it has been suggested that users can be unknowingly communicating with a company unaffiliated with the local government.
Domains names are bought and sold in the marketplace. Like brands, domains are perceived as equity (assets). Being equity for an organization means that it has an obligation to manage them properly. For example, a well-known company may terminate the domain name that is no longer in use. If a harmful site were to purchase it and misuse it, there would certainly not be a legal issue with the company, but there could still be an ethical problem. If they could add for example, “/recruit” or “/fun” to the back of the domain name, they can easily steal users' personal information under the guise of recruiting or fan gatherings. The need to monitor domain names to the extent possible, including a company's main products and characters, is being questioned.
In this session, we would like to consider what to do with domain names that are no longer in use, taking up actual cases in Japan.
