CADNA - The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse
The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse, Inc. (CADNA), a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit corporation founded in 2007, is dedicated to building awareness about and advocating action to stop illegal and unethical infringement of brands/trademarks online. Its mission is to decrease instances of cybersquatting in all its forms by facilitating dialogue, effecting change, and spurring action on the part of policymakers in the national and international arenas.
Objectives
- Reduce online infringements across all top-level domains (TLDs) and reduce the rate of unnecessary new TLD launches
- Increase penalties for cybersquatting and cybercrime to deter these practices
- Make the monitoring and enforcement of online infringements more manageable for trademark owners so they can better protect consumers in a timely manner
- Implement policies within ICANN that discourage registrants and others who enable domain abuses
- Educate elected officials about domain-related policy reform that will improve consumer safety
CADNA seeks to make the Internet a safer and less confusing place for consumers and businesses alike. Taking action against the practices of cybersquatting and domain name tasting and kiting, CADNA provides a framework for brand owners to protect themselves—as well as their investors, customers and partners—from illegal trademark infringement.
