From Baker & McKenzie Global E-Law Alert
MODIFICATION OF DOMAIN NAME RULES
The Research Support Foundation of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP),
the entity responsible for the registration of domain names in
Brazil, has issued new rules for domain names. According to the
rules, the limit of 10 domain names that a company could register
ceased to exist as of April 4, 2002. Therefore, a company may now
register, under the same taxpayer number, an unlimited number of
domain names. This rule, however, has not modified the restriction on
registration of the same domain name under different domain name
levels for example 'xxx.com.br' and 'xxx.ind.br'.

Extended Jurisdiction For .no TLD Name Appeal Body
According to a press release from the Ministry of Transport, a
working group within the Ministry has issued a report regarding the
administration of the top level domain '.no'. The working group
proposes to extend the jurisdiction of the current appeal organ
(NORIDS klageorgan) to also include conflicts involving third parties
e.g. a dispute between the owner of the domain name and a third party
claiming that the registration of the domain name represents an
infringement of his/hers rights. Further, it is proposed to authorise
NORID (Administrator of the top level domain '.no') to withdraw a
registered domain name. The working group has proposed a regulation
<http://www.norid.no/name-policy.html#link16> governing the above
issues.
