Debate Opens On Domain Closures

Police skeleton to close down web domains believed to be used by criminals are to be debated in public.

In November, the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) tabled a outline to give such powers to Nominet, that oversees the .uk domain.

SOCA wants the power formalised as Nominet has no responsibility to close domains found to be used by criminals.

Those who wish to take segment are being asked to put their names deliver by 23 February at the latest.

Nominet mentioned the preference to form the process deliberation organisation was taken as the initial offer from SOCA generated so many responses.

At the time, Nominet mentioned it longed for to emanate a "balanced organisation of stakeholders" that would speak over the process and its implications.

SOCA mentioned its offer emerged from work it undertook during 2010 to close down websites used to sell counterfeit products or that were intent in other crook activity.

A preference on who will be in the organisation will be taken by 2 March, mentioned Nominet, and it is approaching to have its first meeting after that that same month.

A summary of the problems entangled has been ready and will be sent out to organisation members previous to the first meeting.

Nominet updated that the preference to form the deliberation organisation was segment of a broader outline to make its omission of .uk more consultative.

As good as a process organisation on the Soca proposal, Nominet is moreover convening a of the use of "expired domain tasting".

This organisation will discuss either domain registrars can make money or break down into parts traffic to sites that are defunct.
