'''Trademark Clearinghouse''': [[ICANN]] should view the expansion of fee based Clearinghouse with caution and should keep in mind the national and International [[IP]] norms while determining identifiers. Clarification must be outstanding on matters like measures for fee apportionment, relation to determinations of trademark office, treatment of word and design marks and non-Latin scripts.

'''Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS)''': The [[URS]] format has demands in many fields. Some modalities like timelines have been tweaked, but there are many serious problems which are still unaddressed. To safeguard the URS format, [[ICANN]] must take some sensible decisions and come up with a policy.

'''Post Delegation Dispute Resolution (PDDRP)''': WIPO’s suggestion of establishing a Post Delegation Dispute Resolution has been taken up by the [[ICANN]]. However, gains which come as a result of registration activities, which breaches the 3rd party rights, comes with proper responsibility. Hence, there should be a positive collaboration and that too with a long term view.
