I thought ICANN can forcibly transfer a domain that is not being used to another entity who can prove a legitimate need for it? That was supposed to end a lot

That was supposed to end a lot of domain squatting, especially since web addresses are kind of crucial to modern companies and in the wild west of the internet, anyone can setup e.g. cocacola.org or something and start trying to steal your customers.
- usrbinbash 5y ago> that is not being used How will that be defined? It's not difficult to put up a small website. And just like that, the page is now used.
- number6 5y agoOr just have a mx record. It's legit usage of a domain. You don't even need a website.
