Statement by Raúl Echeberría on behalf of the NRO, delivered at the IGF Open Consultation meeting
... We, the NRO, have seen with interest the position expressed by the Chinese Government relating to IP addressing matters. However, let us stress that it is not accurate to say that the current management system of IPv4 address has resulted in the shortage of IP resources and the discontinuity of IP address blocks for countries that are less-developed in Internet. In fact it was the NRO who brought to the attention of governments the issues of IPv4 consumption and the transition to IPv6.

China Emerges As Leader In Cyberwarfare
When suspected Chinese hackers penetrated the Pentagon this summer, reports downplayed the cyberattack. The hackers hit a secure Pentagon system known as NIPRNet - but it only carries unclassified information and general e-mail, Department of Defense officials said.
Yet a central aim of the Chinese hackers may not have been top secrets, but a probe of the Pentagon network structure itself, some analysts argue. The NIPRNet (Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network) is crucial in the quick deployment of U.S. forces should China attack Taiwan. By crippling a Pentagon Net used to call U.S. forces, China gains crucial hours and minutes in a lightning attack designed to force a Taiwan surrender, experts say.

The Politics of DNSSEC: The Light Begins to Dawn at IETF by Milton Mueller
We republish below an astounding post by VeriSign's DNS expert, Dr. Phillip Hallam-Baker, made on the IETF list. In it, he incisively describes the political implications of signing the root using DNSSEC, something we at IGP have been trying to do for about a year now. He also calls for sharing the signing authority, as IGP has also been doing. When we do this, we are sometimes accused of needlessly "politicizing" the issue. Wonder what they'll say now. Let's put Hallam-Baker on that IGF panel on "critical Internet resources" maybe, and see if his candor survives the glare of publicity?

What do you want to know about ICANN? Online survey
One of ICANN?s most important jobs is to provide those interested in its processes with the information they need to interact fully. It is just as important that people are aware of what issues are currently being discussed within the organisation, what the outcome of recent discussions were, and what discussions will be coming up shortly. And that this information is readily and easily accessible.

ICANN domain tasting inquiry
ICANN is investigating domain tasting, the controversial process where users register domain names to test their effectiveness in collecting extra traffic and then cancel the registration before fees become due. The call for the investigation by ICANN came after it was found less than 1 per cent of .org domain names are registered. "For business owners, this is a much-needed initiative," Catherine Logan, intellectual property expert at national law firm Hunt & Hunt, said.

Internet Commerce Association Announces Member Code of Conduct Affirming its Commitment to Best Practices [news release]
The Internet Commerce Association (ICA) announced it has adopted an eight-point member code of conduct designed to foster and promote fair and ethical business practices in the domain name industry. ... The ICA?s Member Code of Conduct covers the major areas of conflict that have arisen in the emerging domain name business. These include protection of intellectual property rights, ending abusive domain name tasting, strict adherence to Internet fraud laws, transparency in the ownership of domain names and the use of lawful content. The Code also condemns a process that involves returning a domain name just before the five-day grace registration period expires and re-registering it again as soon as it becomes available in order to avoid paying registration fees (often referred to as domain ?kiting?), and requires ICA members to follow established ICANN guidelines for registering and deleting domain names.

Alternative Dispute Resolution for .eu Domain Names (reg req'd)
... Regardless of this quantitative success, the introduction of .eu was, above all, characterized by its extremely formalistic "Sunrise Period," which initially was meant to protect trademark owners, but actually allowed domain name grabbers to profit from bureaucratic mistakes both in the complex and often inconsistent legal framework provided by the European Commission as well from simple formal mistakes by the applicants themselves. Moreover, since the start of the subsequent "Landrush Period," on April 7, 2006, which now allows the registration of .eu domain names to any interested party with legal domicile within the European Union, a significant percentage of the 2.4 million registrations again were registered by professional cyber-squatters. As a result, many trademark owners still seek to register the .eu domain name of their first choice. They have realized that domain name matters should not always be left with IT departments, but from time to
time require professional legal assistance.

The court rejected this as a basis to force them to defend this suit in Florida.

Although the answer to this question may be obvious not only in France, but also in Europe, two decisions from the Paris Appeal Court may well change this established understanding.

10 Great SEO Tips, Part 1
There was a time when companies could simply boot up a Web site and their content would immediately begin showing up in various search engines. For better or worse, those days are long gone. To have content displayed, corporations need to understand what the search engines are looking for and then provide it to them. If one company does not want to do that, a competitor certainly will.

Consequently, they need to maintain a proper balance.

Radio Interview with Eric Goldman Discusses Domainers and Domaining
Damien Allen of VTalk Radio recently interviewed Professor Eric Goldman of the Santa Clara University School of Law on the topic of ?Domaining?. The interview covers the nature of domaining as a business and how it differs from cybersquatting.

Counting Clicks - looking at click fraud
Given that most of Google's $13 billion in revenue comes from clicks on ads, you would think the words "click fraud" would inspire fear in Shuman Ghosemajumder, the company's senior product manager and resident click-fraud czar. But the problem--publishers who inflate pay-per-click ad fees with automatic clicking software--doesn't fluster Ghosemajumder or other Googlers.
In March 2006, as the company faced a class-action lawsuit from online advertisers for damages from fraudulent clicks, Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt dismissed click fraud as "immaterial." Even after paying a $90 million settlement, Google has maintained its "everything-is-just-fine" answer to click-fraud worrywarts.

Domain Tasting ? And We Don´t Mean Sparkling Wine ? Under The Microscope (reg req'd)
The controversial practice of domain tasting, in which large numbers of domain names are registered automatically, tested for effectiveness in collecting additional traffic, and the vast majority then cancelled before the registration fees become due, now seems to be having an impact on the average domain name registrant. For example, it has been suggested by some commentators that the increase in registry fees due to be implemented in October this year by the VeriSign registry, which controls the .com, and .net generic top level domains has been brought about by the enhancements to VeriSign's registration systems necessary to cope with the flood of automated applications by speculators.

Contextual advertising litigation heats up
Marketers who participate in contextual advertising programs benefit from a greater ability to target the right customers at the right time with a significant impact on online earnings. ... While the pay-per-click model is often a harmless revenue generating mechanism, it also allows domain name registrants a means of generating profit through the registration of domain names that infringe on another?s trademark ? also known as ?cybersquatting? or ?typosquatting.?
