New gTLDs: Call for Applicant Evaluation Panel Expressions of Interest
ICANN is soliciting Expressions of Interest from firms interested in and capable of performing any number of independent evaluation roles as part of the new gTLD process. These entities, to be retained by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), will provide independent evaluation services, evaluating applications for new top-level domains (gTLDs). This is an opportunity to play an important role in the next significant evolution of the Internet's domain name space.

Is there a need for a ‘demonopolized’ Internet?
Russia disproves of the situation when a single U.S.-based organization has control over the Internet and will soon voice it suggestions on how to ‘demonopolize’ it. Telecoms Minister Igor Shchegolev has lashed out at the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), a non-profit organization with headquarters in California. The organization performs a number of Internet-related tasks – the two most apparent being the creation of new top-level domain names like .ru or .com and management of the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

Web 3.0 Free-for-All
What's that distant buzz you hear? It's the sound of a swarm coming your way. In late-2009, ICANN plans to begin accepting applications for new generic top-level domain names (gTLDs), and granting them by the hundreds. This move will likely usher in a new world on the Web.

Philbrick's Sports is a New Hampshire retailer of sporting goods. eNom's customer registered two domain name variants of Philbrick Sport's website. When the customer didn't pay eNom, eNom took the names back for itself. Subsequently, eNom registered another domain name variant of Philbrick's website through a domain name tasting program. Each of these domain names were parked with Yahoo, who displayed sponsored ads on the domains. Philbrick's then sued eNom, claiming cybersquatting and trademark infringement.

Domain Names? We Don't Need No Domain Names [IDG]
When hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Japanese Internet users want to Google something their first stop isn't the minimalist home page of the search engine but its biggest competitor: Yahoo Japan. And that's not by mistake. On the Yahoo site they type in "Google" to get taken to the home page, bypassing the address bar in their browsers and registering another search for Google in Yahoo's rankings. In 2008 so many surfers used Yahoo to get to the Google home page that it placed as the fourth most searched term of the year -- a position it also held in 2007.

Domain Names Disputes Involving Sellers of Tickets for Sports Events
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) arbitration panels have upheld the rights of stadiums to oppose domain name registrations by online ticket sellers that threaten the stadiums' financial strength and reputation. Typically, independent ticket sellers are required to negotiate a license with venue operators. Some ticket sellers, however, have attempted to bypass this license requirement by displaying minor and subtle alterations of the venue’s name or the top level domain suffix. These efforts generally have been found to infringe upon the venue owner's intellectual property rights.

Avoid rolling with rick: lengthen URLs
URLs seem to grow longer and longer every year. Part of this is due to domain names getting longer, and a lot of it is due to SEO (search engine optimization) changes. Where we used to use /article/1234 we now use /books/reviews/fiction/fantasy/the_lord_of_the_rings so that search engines can mine the URL for relevance. And then so we can track the source of our traffic, we add some query strings (?utm_source=foo&utm_medium=bar) and we wind up with a long cumbersome URL that's great for machines but arguably not so great for people.

Der Domain-Sekundärmarkt ist amerikazentriert. Die großen Versteigerungen finden in den USA und weitestgehend unter US-Domainern statt. Die Endung .com sorgt für die beeindruckenden Zahlen, daneben gleiten andere Endungen beinahe ins Belanglose ab. Doch gibt es sie, die anderen Domain-Endungen, mit denen sich gutes Geld verdienen lässt. Aber welches ist die Domain der Wahl - sollte man eine schlechte .com-Domain einer guten ccTLD-Domain vorziehen?

Bis zum Jahr 2010 sollen sämtliche Lücken des Breitband-Internets auf der deutschen Landkarte geschlossen sein. Den Ausbau fördert die Bundesregierung mit staatlichen Mitteln auch aus dem Konjunkturpaket II. Nach dem Willen des deutschen IPv6-Rates sollten die Fördermittel jedoch nur dann bewilligt werden, wenn die Provider die Anschlüsse gleich IPv6 tauglich machen.

Seit fast 15 Jahren gilt IPv6 als das Internetprotokoll der Zukunft. Alle wesentlichen Betriebssysteme sprechen IPv6, und es bringt echte Vorteile: Unter anderem muss sich die eigene Adresse nicht mehr bei jeder Internet-Einwahl ändern und NAT wird überflüssig. Und obwohl man IPv4 nicht aufgeben muss, sondern beide Versionen parallel nutzen kann, zögern die Anwender.

ICANN: stanno per finire gli indirizzi web
Fra due anni, gli indirizzi web saranno esauriti. Sembra una battuta, ma non lo è, perché Internet, che ci appare senza confini, fa i conti con precisi limiti tecnici. Fonti d'agenzia confermano che a lanciare l'allarme è Roberto Gaetano membro del consiglio direttivo dell'Icann, l'organismo che assegna gli indirizzi web,intervenuto ieri a Roma, al convegno "Internet del futuro: evoluzione della piattaforma tecnologica". Secondo Gaetano,l'attuale protocollo Ipv4, da 25 anni usato per l'assegnazione dei nomi di dominio e quindi gli indirizzi, sta raggiungendo il suo limite massimo, ossia 4 miliardi di terminali indirizzabili.

Icann, allarme per indirizzi [ANSA]
Entro 2 anni termineranno i 4 miliardi di indirizzi Internet disponibili e non sara' possibile crearne di nuovi se non con la piattaforma Ipv6. E' quanto ha detto il vicepresidente del cda dell'Icann, l'organismo che gestisce gli indirizzi. In vigore dal 1981, l'attuale protocollo degli indirizzi delle reti di Internet, l'Ipv4, consente di gestire fino a quattro miliardi di indirizzi di terminali, soglia che secondo gli esperti sara' raggiunta entro un paio d'anni.

ICANN: per la riforma dei domini c'è tempo
Nella strada in salita verso la mega-riforma dell'assegnazione e la creazione dei domini di primo livello generici (gTLD) di nuova generazione, ICANN si trova costretta ad affrontare critiche provenienti da ogni dove, persino dal governo statunitense che ha squalificato il suo agire come "insufficiente" e neanche lontanamente vicino ai doveri di un organismo di controllo di tale rilevanza. L'organizzazione ora risponde a quelle critiche, o per meglio dire ne prende atto rimandando una risposta concreta a quando avrà qualche numero in più dalla sua.
