au: Anti-PM website faces legal action
A CONTROVERSIAL political website may be deregistered
if the group behind it does not properly identify
itself. The johnhowardlies.com website, which was
temporarily taken down today to be revamped, publishes
what it claims are lies told by Prime Minister John
Howard and what it says are the facts about Mr
Howard's lies.

DNS changes to take minutes (instead of hours)
VeriSign is to rapidly update Domain Name System (DNS)
records every few minutes instead of only twice a day.
>From 8 September changes in the .com and .net zones
will take an estimated five minutes to propagate
across all 13 .com/.net authoritative name servers.
The old systems will remain there for those who don't
want to make the leap forward.

Medium-Term Plan For WIPO Program Activities - Vision
And Strategic Direction Of WIPO 
Every fourth year, the Director General is required to
present a "plan for the medium term" covering four

WIPO for the four-year period from 2006 to 2009
following the 2004-2005 biennium.

ICANN panel condemns Site Finder
A long-awaited report evaluating the impact of
VeriSign's controversial Site Finder service concludes
that it had undesirable side effects, violated
commonly accepted codes of Internet conduct, and
should remain offline.
 http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5267759.html

ICANN bleibt beim Sitefinder hart
Verisigns Sitefinder-Dienst soll auf keinen Fall
wieder eingeführt werden. Das Komitee für Sicherheit
und Stabilität ("Security and Stability Advisory
Committee", SSAC) der Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) hat sich gegen den
Einsatz von Wildcards bei Top Level Domains
ausgesprochen. VeriSign hatte im vergangenen Herbst
ohne große Vorankündigung alle Anfragen nach nicht
existierenden Domains -- oder schlichte Vertipper --
auf seine eigenen Server umgeleitet und damit eine
Welle der Entrüstung unter Netzwerkadministratoren
ausgelöst.

Neue Regeln bei Domain-Umzügen für ICANN-Registrare
verbindlich
Der Umzug von Domains soll einfacher werden, vor allem
für den Kunden: Die Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) hat die offiziellen Regeln
veröffentlicht, an die sich alle ICANN-akkreditierten
Registrare weltweit ab dem 12. November zu halten
haben. Die Transfer-Politik wurde von den Juristen der
Internet- und DNS-Verwaltung auf der Basis von
Empfehlungen von zwei Arbeitsgruppen des für Top Level
Domains zuständigen Gremiums (Generic Names Supporting
Organisation, GNSO) ausgearbeitet.

CDT Releases Report on ICANN and Internet Governance
In the context of ongoing global debates about
Internet governance, CDT has released a report calling
for continued reform at the Internet Corporation on
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The report calls
on ICANN to focus on its limited mission and
bottom-up, consensus-based approach, which remains the
best model for managing core Internet naming and
numbering functions.

Cashin, Warners Brothers, New Line Productions and The
Saul Zaentz Company are now determined to extend their
dominion.

China masters IPv6 domain name stem server technology
for next Generation Internet
The "study based on IPv6 domain name stem server
technology", an important subject for knowledge
innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
undertaken by the CNNIC has passed the approval and
acceptance of the experts team the other day. The
result has indicated that China has already mastered
the key technology for setting up, operating,
maintaining and guaranteeing the domain name stem
server for the next generation Internet. This has made
China possible to provide a strong technological
support to the large-scale disposition of the IPv6
network in providing the basic name service.

The Site Finder Report: Dr. Stephen Crocker, Chair of
the Committee
As an advisory committee, our focus is to give ICANN
and the community our best advice regarding security
and stability issues for the domain name system and
the addressing system. We are not a standards,
regulatory, judicial or enforcement body; those
functions belong elsewhere.

Auditing ICANN: An Essential Element for an
Alternative ICANN Budget Proposal
A coalition of over 50 domain Registrars from around
the world have recommended an alternative to ICANN's
proposed 2004-2005 budget. The alternative proposal
from the ICANNBudget.org Registrars would cap
Registrar contributions at $11 million per year for
the next three years. Although this proposal
represents a significant expansion beyond ICANN's
2003-2004 budget of $8.6 million budget, it is still
slim compared with ICANN's own $15.8 million budget
proposal. Of potentially greater importance, the
alternative budget differs significantly from ICANN's
proposal in the structure of the Registrar fees.

Registrant Freedom Day
After almost four years, ICANN has announced that they
have adopted a new domain name transfer policy that
make it much easier for domain name registrants to do
business with the ICANN accredited Registrar of their
choosing. Highlights from this new policy include;
streamlined definition of responsibilities as it
relates to the management of the domain name. Under
the new policy, only the Administrative Contact or
Registrant can authorize a domain name transfer to a
new service provider.

eu: Towards a global partnership in the information
society: Translating principles into actions (RAPID)
The European Commission?s view on how to translate
principles agreed by UN Member States in Geneva in
December 2003 into action to create a worldwide
information society are set out in a Commission
Communication. This Communication outlines priorities
and proposes actions for the second phase of the World
Summit on Information Society (WSIS), which will flesh
out a plan of action agreed in Geneva and is to
culminate in a WSIS summit meeting in Tunis from 16 to
18 November 2005. Future WSIS work should focus on
creating the right policy environment for information
society technology applications to flourish,
accelerating the take-up of proven applications, e.g.
for e-government, e-health, and e-learning, and
promoting research in this area. Unfinished work from
Geneva on internet governance and financing measures
to bridge the digital divide must also be completed.
