CADNA Releases Study on Drop-Catching
How Insiders Leverage the AGP to Avert Domain Name Investment Risks
The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) has released a study on drop-catching. Drop-catching is an enabler for other domain abuses such as tasting, kiting and typosquatting. Large registrars and others that have the means to test domains on a large scale have harnessed this technique and built a business around taking advantage of ICANN's Add Drop Grace Period (AGP).

Invitation to Join CADNA
The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) was formed in 2007 by a group of leading brand owners that wanted to take decisive action to reduce online infringements across all TLDs, increase cybersquatting penalties, make the monitoring and enforcement of online infringements more manageable and educate elected officials about policy reform that will improve online consumer safety. To that end, CADNA strives to secure the stability of the Internet by fighting brand abuse in the domain name space and quelling the consumer harms that cybersquatting enables.
Among others, CADNA members Bacardi & Company Limited, Dell Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, HSBC Holdings plc, Marriott International, Inc., Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, and Verizon Communications Inc. represent a broad cross section of industries and member representatives come from a variety of corporate areas of responsibility including risk and security, marketing and eBusiness, and legal.

Tasting Solutions White Paper
An Evaluation and Analysis of Proposed Solutions to the Domain Name Tasting Crisis
Millions of domain names are tasted or kited daily. The tasting and potential registration of these names can lead to customer confusion, brand and trademark dilution, lost revenue, and at times even fraudulent and criminal activity. The parties that register these names and those who partner with them to monetize the traffic are the only beneficiaries of domain tasting.

Anti-cybersquatting coalition responds to ICANN
The last update from CADNA, the Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse that FairWinds Partners helped form, came on July 24, 2007, when the coalition's founding members held a press conference to formally launch the global anti-cybersquatting initiative.
CADNA, whose members include AIG, Dell, Eli Lilly, Hilton, HSBC, Marriott, Richemont, Verizon, Wyndham, and Yahoo! issued a press release this morning and made CADNA's submission to ICANN's Tasting Survey available online.
In line with its commitment to significantly reduce cybersquatting, CADNA's submission details the experiences of its members with the Add Grace Period (AGP) and highlights CADNA's desire to eliminate this unnecessary loophole in the domain name system.
