IP Justice submitted brief comments today to ICANN regarding its plan for introducing new Top-Level Domains (TLDs).  Specifically, IP Justice raised concerns about policy proposals that threaten freedom of expression on the Internet and seek to expand ICANN’s mission to include ensuring "Morality and Public Order" (MAPO) and preventing "terrorism" through personal background checks.  IP Justice believes both of these ICANN proposals are mis-guided and will harm the healthy development of the Internet and the global public interest.
