| How .CO Protects Domain Owners and the Community The .CO Registry has strong policies in place to ensure that domains are distributed fairly, disputes are managed properly, and security is maintained for everyone. These policies were designed with guidance from ICANN and industry best practices. Rights Protection and Security Measures Premium Name Reservation Some generic words and phrases are reserved by the .CO Registry. These names may be released later through special sales, auctions, or allocation programs. Dispute Resolution The .CO Registry uses the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). We work with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) to handle domain disputes through arbitration or mediation. Accurate WHOIS Data .CO uses a Thick WHOIS system, which stores complete and reliable registrant information. Registrants must keep their contact details accurate and up to date at all times. Rapid Domain Compliance Domains involved in harmful activities (like phishing, malware, or fraud) can be taken down quickly to protect users. Domains used for serial cybersquatting may be suspended under our enforcement policies. Key Takeaway The .CO Registry is committed to maintaining a fair, safe, and trustworthy domain space by reserving premium names, offering proven dispute resolution processes, enforcing accurate WHOIS data, and acting fast against online threats. |
