Offensive Domain Names

The Committee for the Review of Offensive Domain Names was established in February 2012. The Committee’s purpose is to determine whether a particular domain name is permissible for registration due to social, ethical, and legal constraints as specified in the Domain Name Registration Rules. Thus, the committee has the authority to approve or reject a domain name on the basis that the requested domain name may be damaging to public policy or considered vulgar or offensive to public sentiments, or such names which are in violation of Israeli Law, as defined in Clause 7.3 of the Domain Name Registration Rules. The Committee is comprised of intellectuals, Justices, and Internet experts.
