Subject: EXCLUSIVE: ICANN Contradictions Exposed – Malaysian National Domain Deleted After Decade – Now Escalated to International Bodies
Dear Editors and Journalists,
I am writing to share documented evidence of a critical failure in global Internet governance that has resulted in the wrongful deletion of a Malaysian national domain (malaysia.build) after nearly a decade of lawful operation, exposing fundamental contradictions in ICANN’s accountability framework.
Immediate Development:
This morning, after 161 days of institutional silence, I have formally escalated this case to multiple international governance bodies including ASEAN, APEC, OECD, ITU, UN IGF, INTERPOL Cybercrime, G20 Digital Economy Working Group, and ICANN’s entire Board of Directors.
International Escalation Details:
The full escalation email sent to these bodies is available at: https://loss.co/international-escalation
Key points highlighted in the escalation:
• Contradictory explanations between ICANN and the .BUILD Registry
• 161-day institutional silence across all accountability channels
• Systemic risks to global digital economy from arbitrary domain deletions
• Request for formal intervention and policy review
The Core Contradiction:
• .BUILD Registry states: Domain was deleted because “ICANN cited a Spec 5 geographic name violation”
• ICANN Compliance states: “We have no authority to order deletions”
• Result: A domain representing Malaysia (malaysia.build) was erased without due process, with completely conflicting explanations from responsible parties
Documented Timeline:
• 2014: Lawfully registered with continuous renewals for 9+ years
• December 5, 2023: Silently deleted without notice, EPP code, or due process
• 161+ days: Formal complaints met with institutional silence across all channels
• Active platform with PayNet financial certification rendered inaccessible
Why This Matters Globally:
This case exposes critical vulnerabilities in ICANN’s multi-stakeholder model that affect every nation and business relying on domain name stability. If a G20 country-name domain can disappear after a decade without proper process, it sets a dangerous precedent for digital asset security worldwide.
