      title = {Generic Top-Level Domains: A Study of Transnational  Private Regulation.},
      abstract = {This topical book critically examines the regulatory  framework for generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) on the  Internet. The regulation drawn up by the Internet  Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) applies  at a global level, complementing national and international  law. These rules form part of a growing body of  transnational private regulation.  Generic Top-Level  Domains offers a clear and engaging analysis of how ICANN  has tackled a diverse set of regulatory issues related to  the introduction of new gTLDs, such as property rights,  competition and consumer protection. Studying recent case  law, the book argues for a stronger focus on procedural  fairness for future introductions of new gTLDs. It also  highlights how ICANN’s contractual framework regulates  the registration and use of domain names and argues that  ICANN’s regulatory authority ought to be clarified in  order to avoid regulatory overreach.  Uniquely  comprehensive, this book will appeal to students and  scholars with an interest in Internet governance, domain  name law and transnational private regulation.  Practitioners working in the domain name industry will also  find this a valuable resource.},
