Domain name as an access to the Internet and an important part of the network will also become an important part of the real system. So, from the international perspective, how the organization defines the domain

At present, the mobile phone, the network real-name system is being widely concerned by all sectors of society. Domain name as an access to the Internet and an important part of the network will also become an important part of the real system. Then, from the international perspective, the relevant organization is how to define the domain name real names, for the registration of false domain name and what penalties will be? In this respect, the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Law School assistant Dean Tan Hualin, said, domain name registration information can be said to be the international practice. In accordance with the relevant provisions of ICANN (Internet name and number distribution agency), the domain name holder is obligated to conduct an annual self-examination on the authenticity and accuracy of the registration information, and if it finds that the registration information is untrue, it should promptly contact the Registrar for correction. If the domain name holder provides false registration information, the Registrar has the right to cancel the domain name. Within the grace period prior to cancellation, the domain name is temporarily owned by the Registrar until the registrant provides updated domain name registration information.

is as important as the "house deed"

Domain name registration information (WHOIS information) mainly includes: domain name, registration time, expiration time, domain name holder contact information, technical contact information and management contact information and many other identity information.

Tan Hualin pointed out that, from the domain name and the development of the Internet perspective, the previous domain name registration information more reflected as a technical contact information. Because the domain name and domain Name System has the strong technical attribute, therefore, the domain name registration information is the important content which guarantees the domain Name System safe and stable operation. And with the continuous application and popularization of the Internet, the domain name is also given more commercial value, domain name registration information is no longer just technical contact information, but also become the rightful owner of domain names legal basis.

It is understood that both in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), or in the national arbitration agencies, domain name registration information is that they accept and determine the rights of the disputed domain name important basis.

Tan Hualin analogy said: In the real world, we determine whether Zhang has ownership of a house, judging the basis is not whether he actually occupies and use the house, the key is whether the real estate ownership certificate is the "property card" on the record of the owner. And in the Internet domain, determine whether a domain name is owned by someone, the key is not whether someone actually occupies and uses a domain name, but the domain name registration information is pointing to someone. Therefore, it can be said that the domain name registration information for the domain name holders, its importance comparable to the "property card."

False information can cause domain name to be cancelled

Tan Hualin said that the domain name registration information on the domain name registration management agencies, Governments and domain name holders are of great significance, therefore, the relevant agencies issued a number of provisions to protect the authenticity of domain name registration information, accurate and complete, and to provide false registration information of the domain name authorized registrars can be written off.

For example, ICANN's "Domain name registration information reminder Policy" restricts the behavior of domain name holders who provide false registration information. Under the policy, the names displayed in ICANN, address, time, contact, etc. more than 10 complete domain name registration information, require the domain name holder must ensure that all information is true and accurate, the domain name holders have the obligation to register the information of the true, accurate or not self-examination, once the registration information is found to be untrue, Should promptly contact the Registrar to be corrected, in addition, if the domain name holder refused to update the registration information or "to provide false domain name registration information, can be registered as a registrar of the basis for cancellation of the domain name."

The grace period domain name temporarily belongs to the Registrar all

In addition, for those who because the registration information is untrue, inaccurate and unregistered domain name, ICANN also provides remedial measures, namely: "For those who because of the provision of false contact information or unable to successfully respond to registrar inquiries by the deletion of the domain name of the registrant, will be given a grace period, during which the domain name is temporarily owned by the Registrar, Until the registrant provides updated domain name registration information. ”

"Domain name registration information is the international practice," said Tan Hualin, for the vast number of domain name holders, the domain name registration information must be highly valued, to provide false registration information will face huge risks, on the one hand, the provision of false registration information will likely result in domain name cancellation; Once the domain name is started to log off or remove the program, its ownership will be temporarily owned by the Registrar, then the Registrar will be able to change the domain name registration information.

Finally, Tan Hualin called on the majority of domain name holders from the maintenance of their own rights and interests, should actively contact with the Registrar, timely update the registration information to prevent their own legitimate domain name rights and interests were accidentally deprived.
