The Internet Commerce Association (ICA) is a non-profit trade organization that represents the interests of domain name investors, domain name registrants, and related companies. Founded in 2006, the ICA advocates for policies that support a robust and competitive domain name marketplace. Their efforts are aimed at protecting the rights of domain name registrants, promoting the value of domain names as digital assets, and ensuring fair treatment in domain name dispute processes.

The ICA engages in various activities to achieve its goals, including:

  1. Policy Advocacy: Working with organizations such as ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to influence policies and regulations that impact domain name registrants and investors.
  2. Legal Support: Providing resources and support for members involved in domain name disputes, including offering guidance on UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy) proceedings.
  3. Education and Awareness: Raising awareness about the importance and value of domain names, as well as educating stakeholders about best practices in domain name investment and management.
  4. Networking and Community Building: Creating opportunities for members to connect, share knowledge, and collaborate through events, forums, and other platforms.

The ICA's membership includes domain investors, registries, registrars, attorneys, and other stakeholders in the domain industry. Their work helps to ensure that the domain name system remains a viable and attractive investment opportunity while protecting the rights and interests of those who participate in the domain name market.

By supporting the ICA though membership this enables the ICA to carry out its work, educating the legal sector through UDRP's to help bring awareness and understanding to what was previously a problematic area for domain investors and service providers
