Internet domain names, such as those ending with .com, .net, .org, represent enormous value. As a result, their attribution and use have given rise to numerous disputes over abuse of registration of domain names, commonly known as cyber squatting. In 1999, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which coordinates the assignment of Internet domain names, established the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy. This has become the accepted international standard for resolving domain names disputes.
