Internet needs multilingual support for next billion people [IDG]
The Internet must support the large number of languages in the world at all levels, including content, hardware, software, and internationalised domain names if it is to reach the next billion people, according to speakers at an Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Hyderabad, India.

The vital role of the NRO and RIRs in IP address management
The Number Resource Organization (NRO) and Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have provided successful stewardship of IP address distribution for over 15 years. The RIR system ensures that Internet number resources are fairly distributed according to the needs of all stakeholders at both a regional and global level, and according to policies that ensure the stable and efficient operation of the network. Each RIR performs a range of critical functions including: reliable and stable allocation of Internet number resources; responsible registration and maintenance of Internet resource allocations; and, provision of open, publicly accessible databases where this data can be accessed.

APC at the Internet Governance Forum in India
At the first Internet Governance Forum (IGF), “access to the internet” emerged as an issue of common concern and priority to all stakeholders. At the second IGF the business, civil society and technical communities worked together to prepare a more coherent approach to the access in the IGF, the outcome of which was a convergence in views as to what should be done to increase access to the internet across the world. “Reaching the next billion” is now one of the priority themes for the upcoming third IGF – with stakeholders working together to move from debate and discussion to a manifesto for action. The third Internet Governance Forum (IGF) will take place in Hyderabad, India December 3-6 2008.

Internet Governance Forum in Hyderabad, India by Patrik Fältström
Tomorrow Internet Governance Forum (IGF) starts.

Why can’t diacritics be used in Czech internet addresses?
At his office in downtown Prague, Jan Hájek describes his company’s unusual services. They sell experiences, zážitky in Czech, and the name of their firm is zážitky.cz. The odd thing is that to get to their internet site you have to use either the address zazitky.cz or zážitky.com. The former, like all domain names ending in .cz, does not allow an important feature of the Czech language: diacritics (such as the ‘little hook’ on the letter r). But why not?

The following FocusPaper provides a broad overview of ICANN's newly proposed procedure for the introduction of additional TLDs to the Internet. ICANN has produced explanatory papers which serve to aid a potential applicant's understanding of the implications of the new gTLDs and the process they must undergo (see, for example, the ICANN 'New gTLD Applicant Guidebook' now open for public comment through ICANN's 'Public Comment Forum' – to be commented on by the likes of INTA and other prominent contributing organistations by 8 December 2008). This FocusPaper is the first in a series which will follow (and provide relevant commentary on) the developments of the intriguing yet technically complex procedures being considered and employed to implement what is set to be the biggest and most revolutionary transformation to the Internet since its inception.

Secret Geek A-Team Hacks Back, Defends Worldwide Web (or How Dan Kaminsky saved the internet)
In June 2005, a balding, slightly overweight, perpetually T-shirt-clad 26-year-old computer consultant named Dan Kaminsky decided to get in shape. He began by scanning the Internet for workout tips and read that five minutes of sprinting was the equivalent of a half-hour jog. This seemed like a great shortcut—an elegant exercise hack—so he bought some running shoes at the nearest Niketown. That same afternoon, he laced up his new kicks and burst out the front door of his Seattle apartment building for his first five-minute workout. He took a few strides, slipped on a concrete ramp and crashed to the sidewalk, shattering his left elbow.

U.S. report sees major terror attack by 2013, ignores cyberattack risk

The commission's report, titled "The World at Risk," skips over the threat of cyberattacks and focuses almost exclusively on nuclear and biological weapons.

Kentucky and the Gambling Domains by David Maher
A recent law suit in Kentucky has attracted world-wide attention because it could create a very dangerous precedent – the application of local law to the domain name system and Internet web sites that are available globally... Even though the Kentucky case only involves Kentucky gambling laws, the dangerous precedent is that regimes around the world with oppressive local laws restricting speech or religion might attempt similar litigation.

The Parking Page Dilemma: Frank Schilling loses chillibeans.com domain under UDRP
There has been some commentary about the recent Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) decision against white hat domainer Frank Schilling's regarding the chillibeans.com domain. For those who have been paying attention, this decision is not so surprising. Rather than label the decision ridiculous domainers need to appreciate that this decision is not outside the norm or trend under the UDRP and make smart business decisions about parking their most valuable domainers.

These developments are due to the work of all global stakeholders in assembling the resources necessary for IPv6 adoption."

Tucows Leaps Network Solutions in Domain Name Registrations
I’ve been doing a lot or ranking watching over the past 48 hours. I’m a Texas Longhorns fan, and axiously awaited results from the Coaches Poll, Harris Poll, and BCS over the weekend. The Longhorns ended in a three way tie with Texas Tech and Oklahoma University in the Big 12 South. The three way tie was broken by BCS rankings — and OU narrowly edged out Texas. So the Longhorns beat both of the teams in the Big 12 Championship by double digits this year. Go figure.

ITU und ICANN: Zwangsehe ohne Liebe
Für eine bessere Zusammenarbeit zwischen der ITU und der ICANN sprach sich ITU-Generalsekretär Hamadoun Touré aus. "Unsere Mitglieder haben einander unnötig kritisiert und attackiert und ich denke, wir sollten dem ein Ende setzen", sagte Touré am heutigen Donnerstag auf dem 33. ICANN-Treffen in Kairo. Beide Organisationen müssten sich besser kennen und "lieben" lernen, schließlich seien Telekommunikation und Internet zu einer "Zwangsehe" verdammt.

UN-Forum zur Internet Governance soll offenes Netz verteidigen
Das Netz drohe immer mehr zum Spielball rein unternehmerisch-kommerzieller Interessen zu werden, proprietäre Standards seien auf dem Vormarsch, immer mehr Kontrollmechanismen werden im Namen von Sicherheit und Schutz von geistigem Eigentum eingebettet in die Kommunikationsprotokolle. Das schreibt eine Koalition von sechs indischen Nichtregierungsorganisationen in einem offenen Brief an das dritte Internet Governance Forum (IGF) der Vereinten Nationen (UN). Das 3. IGF startet am heutigen Mittwoch in der indischen Stadt Hyderabad. Die Initiatoren des Briefs fordern, die Offenheit des Netzes durch konkrete Schritte zu sichern und für demokratischere Verhältnisse beim Thema Verwaltung des Internets zu sorgen.

Die Internet-Selbstverwaltung auf dem Prüfstand
Vertreter aus Regierungen, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft brachen auf dem Berliner Vorbereitungsgipfel für das Internet Governance Forum (IGF) der UN eine Lanze für die Aufrechterhaltung der Plattform zur globalen Debatte über netzpolitische Weichenstellungen. Die Probleme der Internetverwaltung und der Vergabe von TLDs "sind mit den bestehenden UN-Systemen nicht mehr zu lösen", betonte Peter Voß, Leiter des Referats für internationale Netzpolitik im Bundeswirtschaftsministerium bei der Konferenz am Dienstag. Das IGF funktioniere als Platzhalter zwischen der International Telecommunication Union (ITU), die auf Standardisierung ausgerichtet sei, und der Domain-Verwaltung ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Nur in diesem Zwischenraum könne angemessen über Alternativen zur Vormachtstellung der USA bei der Internetregulierung diskutiert werden.

Und auch die Tatsache, dass sich die beiden großen Volksparteien bereits auf ihren jeweiligen Kandidaten für das Bürgermeisteramt festgelegt haben, zeigt, dass die Kommunalwahl am 7. Juni 2009 allmählich in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit gerückt werden soll. Gänzlich unbemerkt vom ersten Werben um die Gunst der Wähler liefern sich CDU und SPD derzeit aber noch ein anderes Duell.

In vielen Bereichen wird noch immer der Wert von Domain-Namen unterschätzt. Gerade das jetzt anlaufende Weihnachtsgeschäft und der Umstand, dass nach aktuellen Zeitungsberichten 10 Millionen Kunden Weihnachtsgeschenke online kaufen wollen, zeigt, welches Potential mittlerweile der Online-Markt erreicht hat, aber auch, dass er zukünftig weiter steigen wird.
