WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 05:35 PM
Good afternoon. My name is Wong Tai Chiew, a Malaysian citizen with Case #01448650—a matter now viewed by over 15,400 people in the NamePros community.
My case involves a 10-year registry breach of Specification 5, which the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has confirmed in writing: no approval was ever given for ‘Malaysia’ under the .BUILD gTLD.
Madam Chair, given ICANN85’s theme of ‘Transparency, Trust, and Strengthening Visibility,’ I would be grateful to know what specific oversight the Board has provided on this case, and whether the Board has discussed it at all during this summit.
To ICANN Compliance: My complaint has been with your team for over 240+ days. The government has confirmed the breach. I respectfully ask: what is the current status of your investigation, and when might I expect a substantive response?
To the Ombudsman: Your office previously informed me that you could not intervene because the Compliance process was ongoing. Since that process has not concluded

ICANN Contractual Compliance operates an Audit Program designed to regularly assess whether registrars and registries adhere to all ICANN policies and agreements. A 2023 ICANN Registry Audit found that a registry operator had improperly released a domain name. ICANN Compliance notified the registry operator, which acknowledged the error, deleted the name, returned it to the reserved list, and implemented safeguards to prevent similar issues in the future.
The former registrant contacted ICANN Compliance in July 2025. Through multiple communications, ICANN Compliance explained the Specification 5 requirements, the audit findings, and the corrective steps the Registry Operator took to remediate its noncompliance. ICANN also provided the public link to the 2023 Registry Audit Report.
ICANN Compliance engaged extensively to respond to the complainant’s questions. This engagement should not be understood as an ongoing investigation. The complainant was informed that there were no indications of noncompliance regar

The complainant was informed that there were no indications of noncompliance regarding the actions taken by the Registry Operator to ensure the domain was reserved following its improper release and that there was no enforcement action available under ICANN’s contractual authority.
The government of the relevant country also confirmed that it had never issued approval for use of the country name and supported its deletion under Specification 5, as stated in a letter sent to ICANN in December 2025.
ICANN understands that the former registrant held the domain for many years and feels they were not at fault for its loss, and ICANN is sympathetic to those concerns. However, Specification 5 requires certain country and territory names to remain reserved unless government approval for their release has been granted. ICANN Compliance cannot unilaterally waive obligations under the Registry Agreement, nor can it decline to enforce Specification 5, which is intended to protect the interests of the relevant countries

Regarding the Ombuds, we encourage you to take up the matter directly with the Ombuds as it is a matter for her office.
Please also direct questions for the Board to the Board; among other opportunities, this Community Forum will host the Public Forum later this week.
Thank you (on behalf of the ICANN Executive Team)

Dear Liana, tq for your reply but you didn’t answer my questions
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 05:52 PM Dismissed by host
Pleaase forward my questions to the speakers and answer my questions publicly
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 05:53 PM Dismissed by host
Please answer these questions too. To the Ombudsman: Your office previously informed me that you could not intervene because the Compliance process was ongoing. Since that process has not concluded after 241+ days, I would appreciate guidance on what options remain for a registrant when no process ever seems to reach a resolution.
And finally, regarding the Facebook post: During ICANN85, I left a polite comment on the Board Chair’s post referencing my case. That comment is visible to me but not to the public—a shadow ban I have documented with screenshots and video. I would be grateful for any clarification on how this practice aligns with the transparency theme of this summit.

Has the board considered whether the existing namespace structure is sufficient for machine-to-machine agent discovery, or whether AI systems may need their own scoped namespace as the agentic web scales?
Mary Wong – ICANN Org 06:23 PM

just explain my questions
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:25 PM
Case #01448650 | Domain: malaysia.build | Timeline: July 11 – Mar 9, 2026
ICANN Contractual Compliance was responsible for investigating the unauthorized deletion of malaysia.build on December 5, 2023—despite 10 years of lawful ownership, active auto-renewal, and paid status through April 2024. Instead of fair investigation, Compliance delivered 241 days of templated evasions, contradictory statements, ignored deadlines, and blame-shifting to the Registry’s “error” while denying authority to act. Compliance issues a document riddled with contradictions, wrong audit dates, and errors response came only after public pressure (namepros.com) and GAC complaint.
The institutional failure extends beyond the Registry to ICANN itself. My formal complaint with ICANN’s Contractual Compliance department (opened July 11, 2025) has remained in a state of deliberate, unresolved limbo for 241 days. The department appears unable to deliver a resolution yet equally unwilling to formally close the case without one, resulting

please, tell me the answer on stage
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:27 PM
maybe just a simple question. why 241+ days?
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:27 PM
the whole is being recorded
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:28 PM
is that is the icann’s answer, avoid to answer my questions even though i have tried hard asking the questions
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:28 PM
i would consider the silence of icann continues
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:29 PM
silence = admission
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:31 PM
hello, i raised my hand for a long time
Jamie Hedlund – ICANN Org 06:32 PM
The action to delete the name took place in 2023 as a result of the registry audit at that time. You submitted your complaint in 2025. While we have not closed your complaint in order to explain why the registry was in compliance with the registry agreement (which we have done several times through your case), we can close it now. The facts and the requirements of the RA are clear. The registration of the domain name at issue violated the Registry Agreement. The registry operator’s deletion of the name was in compliance with the Registry Agreement. To seek additional relief, you might consider seeking advice from legal counsel.
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:34 PM
did you really read my record? domain is auto renew enabled, zero prior notice
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:34 PM
does auto renew enabled mean something to you?
WONG TAI CHIEW (Case #01448650) (You) 06:35 PM
i did nothing wrong for 10 years, why should i bear all the losses?
