Can Non-Western Language Internet Addresses Solve The Digital Divide? The Case Of Arabic Language
Arab information technology experts have welcomed a recent development in internet governance that could allow the use of Arabic script website addresses, saying it will help to protect Arabic culture, remove the language barrier and reduce the digital and knowledge gap between the Arab world and the developed countries. However, they raised some intellectual property considerations as well as technical and cyberspace security concerns.

ICANN Long a Honey Pot for Special Interests - Now a Honey Pot for Employee Salaries
I have never been a fan of ICANN and between 1998 and 2000 wrote extensively against it. My most detailed essay may be retrieved here. ICANN was promoted as a wonderful experiment in industry self governance - an image that was skewered in Michael Froomkin’s landmark essay “Wrong Turn in Cyberspace.” Under the guidance of its law firm Jones Day it pushed back against the request of its only publicly elected Board member Karl Auerbach to inspect its financial records. Auerbach sued and won.

Help Define ICANN's Future by Kieren McCarthy

Global Policy Proposal for Remaining IPv4 Address Space – Background Report - Updated 8 September 2008
Introduction: Global Internet Number Resource Policies are defined by the ASO MOU - between ICANN and the NRO - as "Internet number resource policies that have the agreement of all RIRs according to their policy development processes and ICANN, and require specific actions or outcomes on the part of IANA or any other external ICANN-related body in order to be implemented". Attachment A of this MOU describes the Development Process of Global Internet Number Resource Policies, including the adoption by every RIR of a global policy to be forwarded to the ICANN Board by the ASO, as well as its ratification by the ICANN Board. In this context, the ICANN Board adopted its own Procedures for the Review of Internet Number Resource Policies Forwarded by the ASO for Ratification.

Public Comment: Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy – Part A ‘New IRTP Issues’
Background: The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) aims to provide a straightforward procedure for domain name holders to transfer their names from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another. As part of a broader review of this policy, a Policy Development Process (PDP) is currently ongoing on new Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy issues. These new Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy issues include questions relating to registrar exchange of registrant e-mail information, the potential need for including new forms of electronic authentication and potential provisions for “partial bulk transfers.”

The Google Domination
Frankly speaking, it's time to stop the second-guessing and open-heartedly accept that it's Google's turn now. The next decade clearly belongs to Google, so it's best not to resist and go with the flow. ... The new ICANN policy making dramatic changes on the global domain name registration and opening to Chinese, Arabic and Cyrillic characters all combined will have an explosive yet positive impact on the marketing savvy organization. Trademarking will face new but very positive fronts. The bars of creating global visibility have been raised very, very high, putting immense pressure on the old traditional media demanding new amazingly indescribable platforms -- and that's where Google steps in.

COMMENT: ITU's last chance
The International Telecommunication Union is probably breathing a sigh of relief that last week’s Thai political troubles can be scapegoated for the truly appalling performance of its latest ITU Asia show. Issuing data on the attendances over the weekend, the ITU found that last minute no shows accounted for over a third of registered attendees: providing a good excuse to throw back on unhappy sponsors and exhibitors. ... Clumsy attempts by various individuals associated with the ITU to wrest more control over Internet regulation—such as when the ICANN CEO was locked out of a panel discussion on ICANN at the ITU-affiliated Tunisian information society meet a few years back—pretty much confirmed that some of the assumptions of those in the ITU fraternity aren’t universally shared.

Telnic talks up new .tel top level domain
Top level domains (TLDs) are typically an integral part of the internet domain name address system but a new TLD authorized by ICANN will have a entirely different purpose when it is finally launched by UK-based Telnic in December.
http://blogs.ft.com/techblog/2008/09/telnic-talks-up-new-tel-top-level-domain/
You are your domain: .tel and .mp
Two domain-based identity sites will be in the media this this week: Telnic's .tel, which launches at DemoFall, and Chi.mp, whose team will be holding court across the street from the TechCrunch50 conference in San Francisco on Monday and Tuesday (clever strategy, that). I think these two companies make a trend, but I'm not convinced it's a long-lived one.

Personal top-level domains try to bridge communication gaps

Telnic shows how .tel domains can communicate without web sites
Mere mortals who aren’t technically inclined do not need to know how Telnic’s new .tel service works. We can just think about the benefits. Basically, without using a web site, you can now list your information on the Internet so that people can contact you directly. It’s the mother of all telephone books.

Threat From DNS Bug Isn't Over, Experts Say
The Domain Name Server design flaw that threatened the entire Internet earlier this year has mostly been patched, but the threat is far from over, experts say. ... But the patch doesn’t fix the DNS flaw -- it only makes it more difficult for attackers to exploit it, Kaminsky and other experts are quick to say. While hackers ramp up their DNS exploits, DNS server makers and operators likely face another round of patching that will occur before the end of the year.

Japan tops world in attack traffic, Akamai reports
What Japan lacks in geographic size, it more than makes up for in Internet attack traffic. Japan accounted for 30 percent of all attack traffic monitored worldwide for the second quarter of 2008, according to a new study issued by content delivery network provider Akamai. The study, which was conducted by monitoring Akamai's global network of more than 30,000 servers, measured distributed denial-of-service attacks, Web site hacking attempts and DNS hijackings for 139 countries around the world. The United States had the second-highest percentage of attack traffic for the second quarter, at 21.5 percent, while China came in third at 16.8 percent.

Getting on to the virtual property ladder
Rather than improving bricks and mortar, canny developers are turning to online properties to boost their fortunes: Who'd be a property developer nowadays? The answer: people who develop online properties - rather than physical ones - by snapping up undeveloped sites in a practice known as website flipping. The principle is exactly the same as that of property development: flippers fix up the undeveloped sites and sell them for a profit. As with property development, it's all about adding value. In property, adding value may mean converting a loft. Online, it means increasing visitor traffic and improving website revenue.
