Deputy Director of the Coordination Center for .RU/.РФ Domains for Legal Issues Sergey Kopylov noted that the new rules will not affect the domain name market and its players in any way, since the changes are targeted and concern already registered domains. "This is being done to eliminate the legal uncertainty of response in cases where a domain name is registered using false personal data of a specific person without his knowledge - the so-called identity substitution," he explains, "as well as duplication by the domain name registration system of blocking an illegal resource in accordance with czech republic cell phone number list the provisions of Federal Law No. 149-FZ of 27.07.2006 "On Information, Information Technologies and the Protection of Information." There are no risks of "closing" domain names, since we are not talking about deleting a specific domain name, but only about limiting its addressing - removing the delegation."

of the rules for registering domain names somewhat expands the rights of Roskomnadzor. "To use the procedure under paragraph 5.5, Roskomnadzor must submit a reasoned request to the registrar. Such a request must also be based on the provisions of the Federal Law "On Information, Information Technologies and the Protection of Information" (Federal Law No. 149). Some difficulties arise here. The new wording of paragraph 5.5 speaks of two different entities: a domain name using personal data of third parties without their consent; an Internet resource containing information, access to which must be restricted. The fact is that Federal Law No. 149 implies the need to restrict access to information in a variety of situations," the lawyer explains. "On the one hand, restrictions can be introduced to protect the information itself - confidentiality, state or commercial secrets. On the other hand, restrictions may concern prohibited influence on the recipient of information - for example, preventing phishing and other types of fraud on the Internet. At the same time, Federal Law No. 149 in most cases contains a detailed procedure for restricting access to various categories of information. In this regard, it is not very clear for what purpose exactly the changes to the rules are being made, since Roskomnadzor already has broad powers to restrict access to certain Internet resources on the basis of the Federal Law "On Information".

Roskomnadzor did not respond to ComNews’ questions.

Pavel Katkov, owner of the Katkov.School business school, member of the RF CCI Committee on Entrepreneurship in Media Communications, member of the Association of Russian Lawyers, commented: "These changes strengthen the position of Roskomnadzor and give the agency the opportunity to directly demand the termination of the domain delegation. Directly in this case means without a court, simply by a direct appeal from Roskomnadzor to the Coordination Center. The demand must be justified - obviously, it will be justified in the same way as blocking under the law on the protection of children, for example, or the law on the protection of personal data. We need to see how actively this mechanism will be applied. In any case, this is a significant change that seriously expands the powers of the agency."
