Internet Governance: Why Plato is Still Relevant by Dr. Konstantinos Komaitis [International Journal of Communications Law & Policy]
Abstract: ... This paper discusses the influential role of custom and its effects within the society of Internet Governance; it then proceeds to discuss an interpretation of justice, which demonstrates the way custom might be enforced and imposed upon various subjects. Finally, this paper shows that these conflicting customs should not necessarily annihilate multiparticipatory governance structures, rather assist in their progress.

Field Guide to ICANN Reforms (Part 4): Results are in on Noncommercial Stakeholder Group charter proposals by Milton Mueller
Public comments are in on the charter proposals that will shape the reformed GNSO. The politics of GNSO reform are now abundantly clear. Noncommercial organizations and individuals from a surprisingly broad swath of transnational civil society have participated in ICANN's GNSO reform proceeding, sending in comments. And virtually all of them are supporting the Noncommercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG) charter proposed by the NCUC.

IANA Report on the Redelegation of the .BY Top-Level Domain
... Recommendation: In its decision making process on accepting delegation and redelegation requests, ICANN respects the ability for a local Internet community as well as local law and local government to make decisions about the operation of a top-level domain. In its research, staff believe that there are grounds for reassignment of the domain name under the relevant criteria. It is therefore recommended that the .BY domain should be redelegated to Open Contact Ltd. as per their request.

IANA Report on the Redelegation of the .SO Top-Level Domain
... For an extended period, the delegation of .SO has been “lame”. This means that none of the authoritative name servers have worked, essentially making the domain completely dysfunctional. Furthermore, attempts to directly contact the listed contacts for .SO by IANA staff have resulted in failure. Deliver has been attempted on the postal address listed without success. ... Recommendation: In its decision making process on accepting delegation and redelegation requests, ICANN respects the ability for a local Internet community as well as local law and local government to make decisions about the operation of a top-level domain. ... It is therefore recommended that the .SO domain should be redelegated to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia as per their request.

How to use a domain name to circumvent application of law
Interesting article in the NYT: When they advertise in the USA, pharmaceutical companies must include risk information about the drug. When they use Google AdWords, they cannot do it, as there is a 95 characters limit.

Hoewel de site niet in de lucht is, wil de SGP problemen voorkomen en daarom het eigendom van de domeinnaam in handen krijgen. Inmiddels is er een rechtzaak gestart.
