Google verliert Namensstreit mit Froogles
Ein Schiedsgericht der Internet- und DNS-Verwaltung
ICANN hat am Freitag die Klage des
Suchmaschinenbetreibers abgewiesen, die Domain
Froogles.com würde das Warenzeichen Google verletzen.
Demzufolge unterscheide sich der Name eindeutig von
dem der Suchmaschine. Unter dieser Internet-Adresse
ist seit März 2001 das Shopping-Portal Froogles des
Geschäftsmanns Richard Wolfe zu erreichen. Schon vor
der Registrierung der Domain-Adresse ließ er prüfen,
ob der Name irgendwelche Rechte verletze. Dem jetzigen
Urteil zufolge darf er seine Website weiter betreiben.

The Site Finder Reprise
I have been attending the Icann conference in Malaysia
this week. One of the key events was the submission of
the report from the Security & Stability Advisory
Committee regarding Site Finder. In reading the
committee's report I discovered what I believe is an
incredible breakdown in logic and as a consequence, a
very mistaken, or at least confused, set of
conclusions. So, why do I say that?

Secret Services Likely to Grab .UA Domain - Hostmaster
Director Mostovy
The international community is concerned about the
government decision to attribute the management of the
.UA domain name to security services. The government
and secret services may grab .UA ccTLD to receive a
"magic button", which can allow them to shut down any
offensive Ukrainian web-site in minutes, and give them
full control on the Ukrainian Internet content and,
consequently, the control on the Ukrainian Internet
community as whole, according to the letter of
B.Mostovy, director general of Hostmaster Ltd., the
current administrator of the .UA domain.

and Intelligence Briefing report. The report, which
will be released on Monday, finds that the number of
domain lookups have also jumped nearly 12 times,
indicating that more people are online as well.

Internationalized Domain Names Open Obligation,
Opportunity
Much of the discussion at ICANN's recent meetings in
Kuala Lumpur focused on Internationalized Domain Names
and the use of local languages and characters,
promoting the addition of a range of character sets
without damaging the end-to-end interworking of
today's Internet, which is limited mainly to
specifically coded Latin characters.

ICANN sucht noch Kandidaten
Das Nominierungskomitee der Internet- und
DNS-Verwaltung ICANN ist auf Kandidatensuche. Bei der
abschließenden Vorstandssitzung in Kuala Lumpur sagte
der Chef des Nominierungskomitees, der
France-Telecom-Manager Jean-Jacque Damlamian, die Zahl
der Kandidaten für die zu besetzenden drei
Vorstandssitze und weitere ehrenamtliche Posten
innerhalb der ICANN sei noch zu klein. Für die
verschiedenen Aufgaben brauche man einen großen Pool
an Leuten.

ICANN-Meeting: das Geschäft mit den Domains
Eine nach der anderen wird die ICANN im Herbst neue
Top Level Domains (TLD) zulassen oder ablehnen. Das

Derzeit evaluieren ein technisches, ein Finanz- und
ein juristisches Team die zehn Bewerber. Die Identität
der neun Gutachter hält ICANN geheim, sie kommen aus
acht verschiedenen Ländern, sagte Pritz unter Verweis
auf das Bemühen um Internationalität.

L’Icann adopte officiellement l’IPv6
Le régulateur international du système internet va
d'abord faire cohabiter le nouveau protocole avec son
prédécesseur pendant 20 ans. L’adoption de l’IPv6
permettra en priorité de résoudre la pénurie
d’adresses IP qui s’annonçait.

ICANN implementa endereços IPv6
Aos poucos, o IPv6, nova versão do protocolo IP, vai
ganhando corpo. Hoje, no encerramento de um evento da
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN), foi anunciado que o protocolo está entre as
prioridades da instituição.

http://info.abril.com.br/aberto/infonews/072004/23072004-10.shl

La ICANN quiere una IP por persona
Así lo anunció el pasado día 20 de julio, ya que desde
ese día y por primera vez las direcciones IPv6 serán
añadidas a los servidores DNS raíz de Internet. Con el
propósito de posibilitar la asignación de múltiples
IPs a personas y dispositivos de todo el mundo. IPv6
es la siguiente generación del protocolo de internet y
proporciona trillones de direcciones más que el actual
sistema en uso IPv4.

ICANN annuncia: IPv6 è realtà
L'annuncio arriva dal meeting ICANN di Kuala Lumpur e
il contenuto è di quelli epocali: IPv6 è realtà. Il
nuovo protocollo moltiplica il numero degli indirizzi
assegnabili e manda virtualmente in pensione un IPv4
che rimarrà attivo per 20 anni.
