Portland, Maine – April 26, 2011 – Jobg8 hosts leaders of the .JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition who will discuss the implications of the .JOBS expansion on the global employment website industry.
The proposed expansion by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) of the .JOBS top level domain creates dramatic problems for the employment website industry and individual website owners. In addition to the precedent it sets for arbitrarily changing online business rules, it has already permitted a single company to launch tens of thousands of .JOBS names (e.g., London.jobs, IT.jobs) into the marketplace. This move has global implications and will create confusion with every existing brand, threaten company trademarks and potentially undercut an online job board’s bottom line.
