WASHINGTON, March 31, 2010 -- The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) enthusiastically supports the Utah E-Commerce Integrity Act that was signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert on March 26, 2010. CADNA applauds the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Stephen Urquhart (R-UT 29th District), for his leadership and vision, which made this law a reality. The Utah E-Commerce Integrity Act meaningfully improves protections for consumers and businesses in Utah against online fraud and will serve as a model for legislative action in other state legislatures and in the United States Congress.

WASHINGTON, February 1, 2010 – The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA), global brand owners, academics, and government representatives examined far-reaching proposals that may impact businesses at a policy forum CADNA held on January 29. Keynote speaker Utah State Senate Transportation and Public Utilities and Technology Committee Chair Stephen Urquhart (R-UT 29th District) traveled to Washington, D.C. to present his Utah E-Commerce Integrity Act, which is considered a harbinger for changes to the federal Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA).

WASHINGTON, December 16, 2009 - The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) strongly urges the Utah state legislature to pass the Utah E-Commerce Integrity Act sponsored by Senator Stephen Urquhart, Chairman of the Transportation and Public Utilities and Technology Committee. Senator Urquhart's legislative proposal, introduced recently and presented before an interim committee hearing, amends existing state law to more effectively discourage bad actors who are looking to profit from the registration or maintenance of a domain name in bad faith—cybersquatters and their affiliates.

WASHINGTON, November 4, 2009-- The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) is pleased to see that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has paused its push for the release of new generic top level domains (gTLDs). ICANN’s decision falls in line with CADNA’s long-standing position that ICANN needs to pause and thoroughly evaluate the implications of introducing a potentially unlimited number of new gTLDs.
