When your yogurt pots start talking to you: Europe prepares for the internet revolution
The internet is evolving rapidly: while 25 years ago it was connecting only about a thousand users, today it links around 1.5 billion people across the world. An average European has now at least one object that is connected to the internet, be it a computer or mobile phone.

EC Predicts Internet-Enabled Yogurt Pots (And Smart Meters)
The European Commission believes that within five to ten years the number of devices connected to the internet will increase dramatically, including everything from energy efficient smart meters to yogurt pots capable of recording their own temperature.

European Commission calls for an open, independent and accountable governance of the internet
The European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, today called, in a strategic document, for more transparency and multilateral accountability in the governance of the internet.

EU calls for increased transparency and accountability and internet governance
The European Commission today called for more transparency and multilateral accountability in the governance of the internet, and proposes that the EU initiates further discussions with international partners.
http://www.eurunion.org/eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3418&Itemid=58

The Commission has adopted a Communication on Internet governance: the next steps
This Communication analyses progress on Internet governance and the changing role of governments in the process. It also reviews progress by ICANN in achieving the goals set for it in 1998. The Communication identifies a number of public policy principles that should be observed by other stakeholders and proposes an approach for moving international discussions on these matters forward.

EU calls for US to loosen grip on Internet governance body [AFP]
The European Commission on Thursday called for the ICANN Internet body to open up to greater number of countries, loosening the United State's grip over the private group.

The EU officially weighs in on the ICANN transition by Milton Mueller
The EU today issued a "Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and Council" that addressed the internationalization of ICANN and related Internet governance issues. We found this statement encouraging in part, but mostly disappointing. While its analysis of the problems of U.S. unilateralism and of ICANN are often valid, it makes no concrete proposals that move the debate forward, except that EU and US should negotiate (privately).

Europe calls on US to let go of Icann
The European Commission has called on the US to let the internet's main governing body become accountable to the whole of the world.

EU calls for independent governance of the internet
The European Commission (EC) is calling for changes in the way the internet is governed. ... EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media Viviane Reding said that ICANN was approaching a historic point in its development and posed the question of whether it would become a fully independent organisation, accountable to the global internet community.

EU admits ICANN setup has worked well, wants change anyway
On Thursday, the European Commission released a strategic document in which it called for some significant changes to the way that the Internet's name assignment system operates. Currently, the system is managed by ICANN, a private, nonprofit corporation. The EU doesn't seem to have a specific beef with how ICANN operates, but it's been consistently unhappy about the fact that ICANN answers only to the US government and is incorporated under California law. With ICANN's current charter coming to an end this September, the EU is starting a campaign to give it a more international flavor.

EU Admits ICANN Is Doing Fine, But Wants Change Anyway
The relationship between the United States government and ICANN, the private non-profit corporation which oversees the assignment of domain names, has often been a thorn in the eyes of the European Union. A recent document issued by the European Commission again advocates a change in internet oversight - but at the same time, the document also states that ICANN has actually been doing a pretty good job.

EU demands greater input into internet governance
The European Commission is calling for more transparency and accountability in internet governance in the run up to the expiration of contracts held by Icann.

Dr Paul Twomey, da Big Boss of da interwebs [audio interview]
For the last six years, Dr Paul Twomey (born in Dalby QLD, raised in Brisbane) has been running the interwebs. SRSLY. As CEO / President of ICANN, he’s been the guy who makes sure all of the tubes and pipes are clean and smooth. I got to chat with him for 15 minutes last week about the biggest surprises and challenges he’s had while in the job. If you’ve never heard my interview with Vint Cerf, ICANN founder and one of the guys who literally invented the internet.

Ex parte communications: for everyone, except us say governments by Brenden Kuerbis
One of the more refreshing aspects of the NTIA's ongoing NOI regarding the expiration of the Joint Project Agreement with ICANN was the inclusion of an ex parte reporting requirement. It presumably added a level of transparency to Internet governance matters and their relationship to the United States government which had not been seen before. Unfortunately, it was too good to be true. From yesterday's Federal Register, comes a clarification regarding ex parte procedures associated with NTIA's NOI.

Call To Trade Mark Owners To Have Their Say - New Proposed Generic Top Level Domains
The domain name space is set for a dramatic change when the new proposed generic top level domains are introduced (gTLDs). The changes will allow the creation of new domains, for example .your trademark or .your company name. The stage is therefore set for conflicting interests in choice and use of such new domains on a global basis. Trade mark owners currently have an opportunity to consider the proposals for the new domains and have their say.

Most Popular Invalid TLDs Should Be Reserved
Some of the root server operators post public statistics for their domain name traffic at the top-level. For example, the graph (which can take a bit of time to generate, given ICANN's slow servers) for the L-root server's most popular TLD queries demonstrates, to no one's surprise, that .com is king.

DotPro Asks ICANN For Fee Reduction
The DotPro (.pro) registry has asked ICANN to reduce the annual fees that they pay ICANN. In common with the other registry operators, .pro registry pays an annual fee to ICANN regardless of the number of domains that they manage. The full details of what each registry operator pays and how those fees are structured exactly (ie. if it's a flat fee or fee plus per domain or any variation on this) are published as part of the ICANN budget.

Cybersquatting Continues To Be The # 1 Method By Which Consumer Fraud Is Perpetrated
According to Markmonitor, cybersquatting continues to be the preferred method of online fraud. Linking a website with a major name brand or trademark, increases the likelihood that consumers will be confused. When consumers fail to understand that they are at a third party website unauthorized and unassociated with the trademark holder, they are more likely to “trust” the website, download malware or be persuaded to reveal usernames and passwords for the actual brand owner website.

L’Europe veut bouter le ministère du Commerce américain hors de l’Icann 
La Commission européenne a une nouvelle fois appelé les Etats-Unis à ouvrir le dispositif de gouvernance de l’Icann, l’organisme de régulation des noms de domaine, clé d’entrée du Web.

Bruxelles s'attaque à la main-mise américaine sur internet
La Commission européenne a réaffirmé la nécessité que l'Icann, le gestionnaire des noms de domaines sur Internet, rende des comptes au-delà du seul gouvernement américain.

Bruxelles contre la supergouvernance des USA sur le web
La Commission européenne estime que le web doit se détacher de la tutelle des états unis. Elle appelle, dans un document stratégique, à plus de transparence et de responsabilité multilatérale dans la gouvernance de l'internet. La planète compte actuellement 1,5 milliard d'internautes, dont 300 millions dans les 27 États membres de l'Union européenne. Mais pour l'heure, seul l'ICANN, un organisme privé établi aux États-Unis, assure la coordination des éléments constitutifs de l'internet.

Bruxelles : pour un Internet neutre et ouvert
Début mai, la commissaire européenne Viviane Reding recommandait que l’Icann, l’organisation privée qui centralise au niveau mondial l’attribution des extensions de domaine (« .com », « .net »,), rompe tout lien avec le gouvernement américain. Hier, jeudi 18 juin, la Commission européenne a réaffirmé la nécessité d’internationaliser la gouvernance du net. Surtout, elle en a profiter pour rappeler les piliers fondateurs d’Internet : ouverture, neutralité et inter-opérabilité.

L'UE veut que les Etats-Unis desserrent leur emprise sur l'Icann
La Commission européenne a appelé le 18 juin à ce que la gestion de l'Icann soit ouverte à un plus grand nombre de pays et à ce que les Etats-Unis desserrent leur emprise sur l'organisation. L'Icann, organisation à but non lucratif, supervise notamment l'affectation des noms de domaine de premier niveau (comme les .com, .org ou .edu).

Bruxelles pour une gouvernance ouverte et indépendante du net
Aujourd’hui, avec 1,5 milliard d’internautes dont 300 millions dans les 27 Etats membres, la situation est pour le moins délicate : c’est l’ICANN ou ICANN, un organisme privé établi aux États-Unis, qui orchestre la coordination des éléments constitutifs de l'internet, notamment la gestion des extensions de noms de domaine.

L'AFNIC publie un nouveau dossier thématique intitulé "DNS : types d'attaques et techniques de sécurisation"
Parmi les éléments essentiels de l’infrastructure internet, le DNS -ou Domain Name System- occupe une place stratégique. En effet, derrière cet acronyme parfois méconnu du grand public, se cache un ensemble d’infrastructures, de techniques, de logiciels et d’équipements, nécessaire au bon fonctionnement des noms de domaine et qui permet d’accéder à un site web ou d’échanger des messages électroniques.

UE: più indipendenza per l'ICANN
Non conosce sosta il pressing della Commissione Europea nei confronti dell'ICANN e degli Stati Uniti per ottenere una gestione aperta, trasparente e internazionale della Rete. L'importante istituzione del vecchio continente ha da poco ribadito l'importanza di riformare l'ICANN per coinvolgere nei processi decisionali che interessano la governance di Internet un numero maggiore di membri della comunità internazionale, a partire naturalmente dall'Europa.

Nell'imminenza dello scadere dell'accordo tra l'Icann e il governo degli Stati Uniti (settembre 2009), la Commissione europea ha affermato che è opportuno che quest'iniziativa del settore privato conservi la leadership ma operi nel rispetto di direttive chiare, definite nell'ambito del dialogo internazionale.
