In Support of ICANN's New Trademark Protection Rules (Mostly) by Antony Van Couvering
Yesterday, I sent ICANN my comments about the draft recommendations
from ICANN's Implementation Recommendation Team (IRT), which has been
tasked with coming up with a trademark protection scheme for new
top-level domains. For the most part, I think they did an excellent job.
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090428_icann_new_trademark_protection_rules/
Working With ICANN's IRT and Not Against is in Order
ICANN realized during the Mexico City public meeting that its draft
proposals for new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) did not take
sufficient account of the trademark problems that might arise if the
new top level domains become havens for cybersquatters. ICANN sensibly
asked the trademark and brand owners to propose rules and procedures
that might address these problems, and the Implementation Response Team
(IRT) was formed to come up with some new ideas and recommendations for
consideration by the ICANN Board of Directors.

die Zahl um fast 10 Prozent, im Vergleich zu 2006 sogar um 21 Prozent

ICANN: una nuova pubblicità per una rivoluzione che pochi vogliono
ICANN continua a far parlare di se in rete, mai come in questo periodo
la compagnia è stata al centro dell'attenzione e ha riscosso tanto
successo sui blog e sulle testate di tutto il mondo. Mentre fino a
pochi giorni fa colossi come Verizon ricordavano il loro apporto
"costruttivo" alla tesi che l'introduzione di nuovi gTLDs sia troppo
problematica, ICANN sembra intenzionata a proseguire per la propria
strada, almeno fino a che ad intervenire non sarà qualcuno con più voce
in capitolo.

Disminuye un 10% el número de webs con pornografía infantil
El número de páginas webs que albergan contenido de abusos sexuales
contra niños cayó un 10% en 2008, según el último estudio de Internet
Watch Foundation, un organismo de control de Internet con sede en Reino
Unido. El informe alerta de que la mayoría de las imágenes aún son
ofrecidas por páginas comerciales. Según IWF, el 74% de los dominios
con contenido de abuso sexual infantil opera comercialmente con la
venta de imágenes de niños, y el 75% de ellos (unos 850 dominios
únicos) están registrados en tan sólo 10 registros de nombres de
dominio. Por ello el organismo destaca la importancia de los esfuerzos
internacionales con los últimos registros de nombres de dominio para
saber los nombres de webs excluidas.

El dominio Viajes.com, a subasta
Viajes.com sale a subasta con un precio inicial de 750.000 dólares
(€574.500), aunque la situación económica impide prever la cifra que
alcanzará o si finalmente se venderá.

Sites de pedofilia diminuíram 9%
O número de páginas que exibem pornografia infantil na internet caiu 9%
no ano passado em relação a 2007 e 21% em relação a 2006 , informou
nesta quarta-feira a organização Internet Watch Foundation (IWF),
financiada pela União Europeia para fiscalizar a internet. A IWF
elaborou um relatório em que revela dados preocupantes. A grande
maioria do conteúdo obsceno com crianças, 74%, foi encontrada em sites
comerciais. Destes, 850 domínios estão registrados em apenas 10
provedores diferentes, que administram e vendem endereços de internet.
"Esses sites, ainda que tenham sido reduzidos, representam um problema
extremamente grave", disse Peter Robbins, diretor da IWF.
http://veja.abril.com.br/noticia/ciencia-saude/sites-pedofilia-diminuiram-9-467214.shtml
Saiba por que sites terminados em 'b.br' são mais seguros
Na semana passada, a coluna Segurança para o PC explicou como funciona
o ataque de envenenamento de cache DNS, usado por golpistas para
redirecionar páginas de instituições financeiras para sites clonados. A
coluna de hoje dá continuidade ao assunto, explicando algumas
vulnerabilidades que facilitaram esses ataques e também o que pode ser
feito para preveni-los, como o EV-SSL e o DNSSEC, usado nos domínios
“b.br”.

名不满意,那么5天之内域名注册者可以取消域名,并获得全额退款”，当然，这项政策的初衷，就像我说的是为了防止注册人因拼写错误而注册错误域名，或是干
