RESEARCH PAPERS

Rethinking Accountability in Cyberspace: A New Perspective on ICANN by KEES DE VEY MESTDAGH and RUDOLF W. RIJGERSBERG (University of Groningen)
Abstract: One of the most persistent debates regarding Internet governance concerns ICANN's accountability deficit. This paper identifies the habitual application of a State frame of reference by which scholars and politicians address accountability issues regarding the domain name system as the source of this debate. Re-examination of the assumptions underlying two exemplary solutions, direct elections and intergovernmental supervision, shows that the State frame of reference informing this debate ultimately breaks down. The availability of alternative services renders the call for a State-based model by which to judge and design ICANN's accountability provisions superfluous. The latter part of the paper shows that a market model is more appropriate to assess ICANN's accountability mechanisms and its role amongst other domain name services providers. In addition, a market frame of reference enables us to understand ICANN's hybrid organisational structure better.

IPv6 Internals by Iljitsch van Beijnum
This article discusses some of the protocol details you should be aware of when planning a transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Although it is not intended as a complete step-by-step guide, this article explains the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 as they relate to actually operating a network. Vendor-and operating system specific details can be found in the book from which this text was adapted, and further information is available in the references.

United Nations Secretary-General Welcomes ‘Network of Networks’ to Spread Digital Revolution (news release)
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan told leaders from business, finance, Government and the media that their participation in the Global Alliance to step up access to digital technology gives an important direction to “our work towards an open and prosperous information society” and “the use of ICT [information and communication technology] as a tool for advancing development”.

League of Nations, United Nations, Next: United Cyber Nations by Mustafa Syed
In 1973 when I took my first step in the field of IT, then generally called EDP or Electronic Data Processing I didn’t have the faintest idea of what I would be doing about 30 years down the road. Even if I had attempted to envisage it I would have only imagined working with large state-of-the-art networked computers. Of course those days the size mattered. Today when I look at myself, I am partly everything; a manager, a security specialist, an IT professional and even a little bit of a paralegal professional.

Internet control 'nears autonomy'
The US government says it will maintain oversight of the internet but with far less hands-on involvement. Icann has been given more independence in a new agreement for the next three years. Dr Paul Twomey, ceo of Icann, said the deal was "a major step forward for Icann autonomy".

FT Briefing: Internet governance
The debate over internet governance dates back to the very early days of the network. First developed in 1969 by the US military, the internet was designed to withstand attack through its “distributed” design – if part of the network was destroyed, the remainder would continue to function.

ICANN independence closer
THE world's peak internet names regulator said it had taken a major step toward cutting its ties to the US government and ending impatience among countries calling for the regulator's independence. The article quotes Chris Disspain, auDA's CEO, whose comments included the move came as a surprise. The US had recently given indications that it was not prepared to loosen its grip on the regulator he said. Further, "I'm particularly pleased because there have been some things said by the US government over the last 12 months that have indicated they perhaps wouldn't be prepared to move further down the road of transitioning to the private sector.

Another View of the New ICANN-DoC Agreement by Milton Mueller
The new MoU, called a Joint Project Agreement is a cosmetic response to the comments received by NTIA during its Notice of Inquiry in July 2006. The object seems to be to strengthen the public’s perception that ICANN is relatively independent. But the relationship between the USG and ICANN is fundamentally unchanged. In one important respect, the JPA has actually increased direct US intervention. If the new agreement was a movie, it might be seen as the sequel to the .xxx domain veto exercised by the U.S. Commerce Department last year.

ICANN and the DOC
Susan Crawford writes on the announcement of the continuing relationship with ICANN and U.S. Department of Commerce. She makes three personal points. In summary they are ICANN is no longer bound by the specific set of milestones that were in its prior MoU with DOC; ICANN has a very long way to go in creating adequate accountability and transparency mechanisms for policymaking for gTLDs, only aspect of ICANN she says needs improvement; and the Preliminary Report of the recent Board meeting reflects that the Board adopted the new agreement with the DoC and doesn’t reflect statements such as hers and other Board members.

Internet Law - The Initial Interest Confusion Theory: The Beginning of Liability for Search Engine Companies
One of the leading U.S. cases on the issue of liability for the use of trademarked terms is Brookfield Communications, Inc. v. West Coast Entertainment (Brookfield). The case concluded with a remarkable decision that marked the beginning of a new liability era for those using trademarked words in their advertisements. Brookfield held that the defendant company was liable to the plaintiff company, under the Trademark Infringement and Unfair Competition Laws of the U.S. Lanham Act for the defendant’s use of plaintiff’s trademarked term in defendant’s Meta tags in Defendant’s websites, even if no actual damage existed. This case introduced the Initial Interest Confusion liability theory that is still applicable in the U.S. Courts.
Of the legal issues in the case, the Court considered whether there was an infringement of trademark claim; second, whether there was an unfair competition claim. These two issues were solved after intellectual property considerations in part that that related to the use of trademarked terms in domain names.
Third, and most important for us in this discussion, the Court considered whether West Coast Entertainment Company (defendant) was liable for the use of the trademarked term “movieBuff” in the Meta tags in its website “westcoastvideo.com” or any other website different than “movieBuff.com.” The Court decision was in the affirmative. The Court held that due to the Initial Interest Confusion theory, West Coast Entertainment Company was liable to Brookfield for the use of its trademarked term in the Meta tags of defendant’s websites other than “movieBueff.com.”

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the TCP/IP Internet standards (news release)
Two of the core protocols that define how data is transported over the Internet are now 25 years old. The Internet Protocol (IP) and the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), together known as TCP/IP, were formally standardized in September 1981 by the publication of RFC 791 and RFC 793.

8 tips in 8 minutes: Securing domain controllers
All your servers are important -- file servers, application servers, Web servers -- and securing them is essential to protecting the data and operations of your enterprise. But most of those servers can be isolated or replicated or backed up. If you run a full Windows network, chances are the one server on your network you can least afford to lose is your domain controller. As an essential component of your Active Directory, domain controllers house vital information regarding your Windows network. A cracker that compromises a domain controller can gain access to any system he chooses. These eight tips will help you form your domain controller policies, secure your domain controllers, check your work and test that your DCs are secure.

It might be linked with pornography or phishing or fraud," she says.
