Online Gambling Summit to Take Place in Kentucky Next WeekICA Bringing Together Several Organizations to Talk About Domain Seizure |
|
The Internet Commerce Association (ICA), a non-profit trade organization representing domain-name investors and developers and the direct search industry, is responding to Kentucky’s attempt to seize 141 domain names of online gambling companies by holding what it’s calling an emergency summit.
Hosted by the Bluegrass Institute, which calls itself “an independent research and educational institution offering free-market solutions to Kentucky's most pressing problems,” the summit takes place 1 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Capital Plaza Hotel-Frankfort in Kentucky’s capital.
Scheduled to appear on the panel are representatives from the Poker Players Alliance, Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association, and the Americans for Tax Reform organization, as well as ICA executive director Michael Collins.
The summit takes place a day before a Kentucky judge is set to decide if the Commonwealth has the right to seize the domain names used to gamble and play poker by using a law that allows Kentucky to seize gambling devices. The Commonwealth is arguing that URLs should be considered gambling devices in this case.
The summit will focus on why the ICA believes the seizure is wrong and how it violates the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. People interested in attending the summit should visit www.internetcommerce.org.
