Lord of Your Domain, But Master of None: The Need to Harmonize and Recalibrate the Domain Name Regime of Ownership and Control by Warren Chik [International Journal of Law and Information Technology]
Abstract: The world has seen three waves of property. The first hark back centuries and relate to real and personal property such as land and chattel, also known as immovable and movable property. The second gained recognition around the nineteenth century and relates to propertization of the labours of the mind or intellectual property . The third wave came within a much shorter period and starting to gain recognition and it is what is known as virtual property . The law and policy-makers have had to surmount not only a steep learning curve but also in some cases a foundation that is wrought with mistakes when it comes to the treatment that should be given to virtual property. The Domain Name System (DNS) is the best example of a form of virtual property that has given rise to challenges in law making and administration. The land grab of domain names in the World Wide Web (WWW) have given rise to a virtual tsunami of registrations and this has led to
 the subsequent erection of levees in the form of a challenge regime. This paper will identify and consider the problems that the DNS is facing and suggest the changes that have to be made to it in order for it to withstand the forces of what will be an increasingly rising sea of domain names on the WWW. This paper will begin with a look at the fissures in the seabed of the DNS by comparing how the management and policies relating to domain name registration and challenge have shifted and diverged in different jurisdictions as well as by examining the inadequacies of the original registration regime (ICANN) and challenge policy (UDRP). After identifying the problem, suggestions will be made to resolve them in the best possible way, which require a revisit of the stakeholder and policy interests in the Internet and the ownership and control of domain names that essentially function as an important gateway to the WWW in order to rebalance these interests
 in an attempt to achieve greatest equilibrium. Amendments will be proposed to both the registration and challenge regimes as well as to the structure and hierarchy of domain name administration which should be a globally coordinated effort just as the DNS is a common entryway to the global property that is the WWW.

ae: UAE Gives Permission to the Use of Arabic Domain Names
Have you ever come across a domain name that doesn't use the English language? Well, I haven't. But, we might encounter one soon because the United Arab Emirates will now permit domain names that use Arabic characters. On Monday the Ministerial Council for Services officially approved the proposal that was put across by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). TRA made the proposal as a part of a national strategy to name Arabic language on the web.

Dot Eco: Can a Top-Level Domain Save the Planet?
Nothing can cripple a promising Web site faster than an embarrassingly bad TLD choice. No matter how many businesses sign up for a dot-biz domain (.biz), for example, it still connotes Uncle Gary's online shoe site. Likewise, TLDs such as dot mobi (.mobi) and dot info (.info) have fallen short in terms of bringing in users. But can an environmentally slanted TLD leverage the current attention on all things green to create a winning URL closer?

Enum VoIP registry goes live in UK
The idea behind Enum is to allow businesses to use standard telephone numbers with their VoIP systems and have calls carried solely over the internet, rather than first being routed over the traditional PSTN network. It works by converting phone numbers dialled by callers into domain names. With that, businesses can present their customers with contact numbers in a familiar, standard format.

Record Number of Cybersquatting Cases in 2008, WIPO Proposes Paperless UDRP [news release]
Allegations of cybersquatting by trademark holders continued to rise in 2008, with a record 2,329 complaints filed under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), a quick and cost-effective dispute resolution procedure administered by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center. This represented an 8% increase over 2007 in the number of gTLDs and ccTLDs disputes handled (Table 1) and brings the total number of WIPO cases filed under the UDRP since it was launched ten years ago to over 14,000. To improve efficiency and respond to growing demand, WIPO proposed in December 2008 an “eUDRP Initiative” to render the UDRP paperless.

UN claims cybersquatting hits record numbers in 2008
Cybersquatting is the act of registering a domain name like gogole.com or micrsofot.com, hoping to capitalize on the common misspellings of popular websites. According to the United Nations' WIPO, in 2008 a record number of complaints were filed about this "abusive registration of trademarks on the Internet".

The Rush to Stake a Claim Online
“Cybersquatting,” the practice of maliciously snapping up a Web site with someone else’s trademark in its domain name, is illegal in the United States. It is also an easy way to make money; a cybersquatter can impersonate the trademark’s owner, sell ad space to the victim’s competitors, or extort a payment in return for turning over the Web site.

NetNames: Neue generische Top Level Domains bieten interessante Marketingchancen für Markeninhaber
Geografische Namen, Auktionen, markenrechtliche Ansprüche – die Diskussionen um die Einführung der neuen generischen TLDs reißen nicht ab. Die regen Verhandlungen auf dem Ietzten ICANN Meeting in Mexiko sowie die Ankündigung einer dritten Ausgabe des Applicant Guidebooks haben wieder deutlich gezeigt, wie komplex das Thema „neue generische TLDs“ ist und vor allem, dass das letzte Wort hier noch lange nicht gesprochen ist. Der Experte für Domainnamen-Management und Online-Markenschutz NetNames bereitet Organisationen und Markeninhabern auf die kommenden Veränderungen vor und hilft ihnen, den optimalen Nutzen aus den derzeitigen Entwicklungen für ihr Unternehmen zu ziehen.

Vor 20 Jahren erfindet Tim Berners-Lee das Internet, wie wir es heute kennen und nutzen. Der Webbrowser ist unser Sesam-Öffne-Dich zur geheimen Welt des World Wide Webs. Mit ihm navigieren wir durch das globale Datennetz und laden uns Informationen, Bilder und Musik auf den Rechner. Doch das ist erst der Anfang. Mehr und mehr verschmilzt die Computerwelt von heute mit dem Datennetz von morgen.

Cybersquatting, nel 2008 record
La Fifa e Scarlett Johansson, ma anche la BBC, l'università di Yale, eBay, Google e il BlackBerry: sono solo alcune delle ultime vittime del «cybersquatting», la registrazione di siti internet falsi che sfruttano il nome di celebrità e aziende famose. Il fenomeno nel 2008 ha registrato cifre record, informa l'Organizzazione mondiale per la proprietà intellettuale (Wipo) dell'Onu, che l'anno scorso ha giudicato più di 2.300 casi.

Cybersquatting: cresce il furto di nomi a dominio
La Rete si diffonde e con essa aumenta il cybersquatting, la registrazione di siti falsi che sfruttano il nome di celebrità e aziende famose. Fifa e Scarlett Johansson, ma anche la BBC, Yale, eBay e Google: sono solo alcune delle ultime vittime di un fenomeno che ha registrato cifre record nel 2008, come rileva l'Organizzazione mondiale per la proprietà intellettuale dell'Onu. L'obiettivo dei cybersquatter è anche accaparrarsi nomi di domini Web che corrispondono a marchi o personaggi per rivenderli ai diretti interessati.

Internet: nel 2008 record di cybersquatting
La pirateria informatica non risparmia nessuno, tanto meno nomi conosciuti del commercio e dello spettacolo. Negli ultimi mesi, un fenomeno in crescita a danno degli utenti celebri è il cybersquatting, ovvero la registrazione di siti internet falsi che sfruttano il nome di celebrità e aziende famose.

Record di "occupazioni abusive" su web in 2008, dice Onu [Reuters]
Aziende e personaggi celebri, dall'Arsenal football club all'attrice Scarlett Johansson hanno presentato lo scorso anno un numero record di denunce per "cybersquatting", occupazione abusiva di spazi sul web sfruttando nomi, eventi o marchi. Lo ha rivelato un'agenzia delle Nazioni Unite.

Cybersquatting da record nel 2008
La piaga del cybersquatting rimane uno dei problemi principali all'interno della grande rete. Nel solo 2008 infatti i casi segnalati hanno raggiunto la cifra record di 2.329, mostrando un incremento di 8 punti percentuali rispetto all'anno precedente

Nuovi TLDs: un mercato di nicchia per le aziende di consulenza
Nonostante ICANN sia in un difficile periodo di transizione e sia impegnato nello studio di un metodo indolore per l'introduzione dei nuovi gTLDs, sembra che il futuro della rete, almeno sul fronte dei nomi a dominio, sia davvero roseo e pronto a offrire diverse opportunità alle aziende che decideranno di registrare un nuovo TLDs con ICANN.

A BBC-től a Yale Egyetemen és a Nestlén át Scarlett Johanssonig vállalatok, intézmények, márkák és hírességek hosszú sora indított eljárást tavaly a neten egyre jobban elharapódzó "cybersquatting", azaz az internetcím jogtalan elbitorlása miatt; a Szellemi Tulajdon Világszervezet (WIPO) már több mint kétezer ilyen esetet tart számon.

Появление домена РФ откладывается до октября
Как сообщают представители RU-CENTER, на конференции ICANN, завершившейся в Мехико, так и не была утверждена процедура Fast Track, предусматривающая внедрение в ускоренном порядке доменов верхнего уровня, написанных символами национальных алфавитов, отличных от латиницы. Это уже вторая неудача подряд — ранее процедуру планировалось утвердить осенью 2008 г. на конференции ICANN в Каире, куда представители России привезли официальную заявку на домен РФ, подготовленную по поручению Минкомсвязи России.

Инновации TEL
Основное отличие домена TEL от традиционных доменных зон в том, что для хранения контактной информации он использует непосредственно систему DNS. Это избавляет пользователя от необходимости создания веб-сайта для размещения контактных данных – достаточно оплатить стоимость регистрации имени в домене TEL, которая составляет около $20 в год.
