UN Internet Governance Panel Urges Infrastructure, Education On Access To Knowledge

Chopra, Strickling Ease Through Senate Hearings
Senate panel weighs in on the nominations for federal CTO and the head of a key Commerce Department tech agency. ... NTIA will also play a key role in the future of Internet governance, as the Commerce Department's partnership with ICANN, the international group in charge of assigning Internet names, expires at the end of September. Speculation has been building over ICANN's fate going forward, with many in the international community looking to wrest the group responsible for global Internet governance from what they see as U.S. hegemony.

The draft FY10 Operating Plan and Budget is posted and ready for community feedback. The draft plan and budget follows the plans described in the FY10 Framework which was posted in mid February prior to the Mexico City meeting.

Internet addresses get foreign language support
Technical protocols to support the extension of the internet address system to languages such as Chinese and Arabic should be finalised this year, ICANN boss Paul Twomey says. Resolution of the difficulties will mean millions of new users can come online using “phone books” in their own languages, with internationalised domain names spelling the end of English-speaking domination of the world wide web.

Net security needs ground-up rebuild
IT professionals need to name and shame lazy software developers and refuse to deal with dangerous operating systems instead of pretending more security will defeat steadily increasing cyber-threats, US security consultant Daniel Klein has warned. ... Paul Twomey the president and chief executive of global internet name authority ICANN, has called for a public health approach to e-security. "There's certainly an element of draining the swamp, rather than worrying about the fever," he said.

ISPs need more oversight and regulation
The ISP industry is a rats and mice business that needs greater regulation and oversight said Alastair MacGibbon, former director of trust and safety at eBay, and prior to that, the former director of the High Tech Crime Centre. ... He said that it is not acceptable that the Internet is such an unregulated place, a statement that is in stark contrast to comments made by ICANN CEO and president, Paul Twomey. During his keynote, Twomey said that the greatest threat to the Internet isn't cybercrime, but excessive legislation by nation states that what to apply the laws of geography to a network that is essentially based on topology.

Opening The Floodgates: New Generic Top Level Domains Rolling Out Soon [reg req'd]
In June 2008, ICANN approved the recommendation for the introduction of an indefinite number of new gTLDs to the 21 existing gTLDs (such as .com, .org, .net) and the over 250 existing country code top-level domain names (such as .us, .mx, and .uk). This new wave of gTLDs could include so-called "vanity" gTLDs such as GOOGLE applying for .google or Cozen O'Connor applying for .cozen.

A number of England's top football clubs have combined in order to win a ground-breaking domain name dispute at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham joined forces to make a claim under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. The WIPO panel stated that "little (if any) substantive consideration has previously been given by a UDRP panel concerning the circumstances in which it might be appropriate to permit a consolidated complaint involving multiple complainants and multiple domain names against a single domain name registrant". The panel considered an earlier ruling: "In the National Dial A Word case the panel held that the consolidation of multiple complaints in a single complaint should be permitted if the complainants:

TLDs – Neues von .biz, .pro und .tv
Wie beliebt Ein- und Zwei-Zeichen-Domains sind, belegt der Nachdruck, mit dem die Registries von .biz und .pro um deren Einführung kämpfen. Derart kurze Domains unter .tv könnten allerdings nur noch ein kurzes Leben haben – Tuvalu droht unverändert unterzugehen.

L'Icann doit-il changer de mode de gouvernance?
Viviane Reding a demandé à Barack Obama de rompre le lien des Etats-Unis avec l'Icann. Mais l'organisme en charge des noms de domaine Internet dans le monde a-t-il besoin d’une tutelle des Etats?

l'enjeux du Forum des droits sur l'internet ...
Le sujet a entraîné l'organisation de diverses réunions au niveau international. La régulation mondiale de l'Internet est un sujet très à la mode. En premier point, l'évolution demandée de l'ICANN pour s'émanciper de la tutelle américaine. Il y a aussi l'IGF, le rêve d'un forum de gouvernance mondial, et ses antennes locales qui seraient mises en place aux niveaux français et européen.

.mobi is aan een flinke opmars bezig
Het afgelopen jaar constateerde dotMobi (de mobi registry) een enorme groei in het aantal nieuwe registraties voor .mobi domeinnamen. Begin 2008 waren er amper 150.000 .mobi namen geregistreerd, nu staat de teller op 1.100.000. Dat is een groei van 700%. Logisch dus dat ze bij dotMobi euforisch zijn. Zeker om dat het er lange tijd naar uit zag dat het domein nooit echt zou aanslaan.

O internetu budoucnosti se jednalo v Praze

Ami, go home! Internetu šéfují Američané. EU se to nelíbí a chce úřad pro "síť sítí" zprivatizovat.
Zatímco po obsahové stránce regulují internet pouze zákony dané země, technická správa je mnohem složitější. A dosud je v rukou jediné společnosti, americké neziskové organizace ICANN, která je podle kalifornského zákona registrována jako sdružení pro "veřejné a charitativní účely".
