ICANN may be looking for immunity from U.S. law
The closest thing the Internet has to a governing body seems to want the same 
kind of immunity from national laws that the International Red Cross and the 
International Olympic Committee have enjoyed for decades. A recent report 
prepared for the board of ICANN says the organization should "explore the 
private international organization model" and it should "operationalize 
whatever outcomes result."

us: Homeland Security grabs for net's master keys
The US Department of Homeland Security is pushing to get hold of the master 
keys for a proposed revision of the internet's domain name system. The 
shortcomings of the present DNS have been known for years but difficulties in 
devising a system that offers backward compatability while scaling to millions 
of nodes on the net have slowed down the implementation of its successor, 
DNSSEC.

.eu registry Eurid: being different at any price?
Pieced-together e-mails and too little automation in general were complaints 
voiced by a number of registrars at a meeting sponsored by Eurid, the .eu 
registry, that accompanied the 28th Public Meeting in Lisbon of ICANN, the 
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. The transfer of .eu 
domains was thereby made more difficult, especially for major registrars with a 
high degree of automation, it was said. "I have no problems with e-mails," 
Christian Müller, the head of technology at Stratos, said. "We can parse them. 
But it would be nice if they all looked the same. We have received typed 
e-mails from you guys which did not even contain the domain name," he said with 
a glance at the representatives of the .eu registry.

world’s most dangerous websites", released last month by Fairfax Media.

Domain Registrars’ Better Business Bureau Records Spotty
Analysis of Better Business Bureau complaints alarming yet inconclusive. Domain 
Name Wire surveyed the Better Business Bureau records of the seven largest

Registrars ranged from 2 complaints on the low end (over the past 36 months) to 
321 on the high end.

.COM and .NET: Thick Or Thin? by Gavin Brown
The fallout from the failure of RegisterFly has been largely addressed as an 
issue of regulation and enforcement. ICANN needs to enable registrants to 
transfer their domain names away from RegisterFly, or to “bulk transfer” all of 
RegisterFly’s sponsored domain names to another registrar. However, RegisterFly 
has control of all the customer data so it’s impossible to match registrant to 
domain name, in order to release the all-important AuthInfo code.

Putting Some Circuit Breakers Into DNS to Protect The Net by Karl Auerbach
For example, a virus that takes over a victim’s computer might communicate with 
its control point, or send its captured/stolen information, by looking up a 
domain name. Normally domain names are somewhat static - the addresses they map 
to don’t change very frequently - typically changes occur over periods measured 
in months or longer. What the bad folks are doing is to change the meaning of 
those domain names very rapidly, from minute to minute, thus shifting the 
control point. They rapidly change the contents of DNS records in the 
authoritative servers for that domain. They couple this with low TTL 
(time-to-live) values on DNS information, thus preventing cached information 
from surviving very long and thus erasing one source of audit trails and 
covering their tracks.

Put Security Alongside .XXX by Gadi Evron
Isn’t security as important to discuss as .XSS? The DNS has become an abuse 
infrastructure, it is no longer just a functional infrastructure. It is not 
being used by malware, phishing and other Bad Things, it facilitates them. 
Operational needs require the policy and governance folks to start taking 
notice. It’s high time security got where it needs to be on the agenda, not 
just because it is important to consider security, but rather because lack of 
security controls made it a necessity.

Domain name app gives phishers a new foe
Ben Jackson's goal is to stymie people who develop phishing sites -- misleading 
Web sites designed to steal people's personal information. Jackson, a 
26-year-old developer from New Bedford, Massachusetts, who works for the 
Massachusetts Department of Public Health, is spending his spare time on a 
Web-based application called Crows Nest. It's designed to alert users when 
newly registered domain names that are likely to be used as phishing sites go 
live on the Internet.

Smart Tech Fights Fakes: Fake products are hot, and so are the Web's 
counterfeit detectors
... MarkMonitor isn't alone. About two dozen other companies are using 
Web-crawling technology to search for counterfeit storefronts and sales. They 
detect fraudsters who set up shop using domain names similar to legitimate 
brands or who plaster brands' trademarks and logos on their online storefronts. 
The companies also monitor counterfeit sales, looking for keywords like 
"cheap," "discount," "authentic," and "factory variants." They flag colors that 
the original product wasn't made in and prices that are far too low.

Will Domain Names Become Less Relevant?
Currently domain names carry significant weight in Google's relevancy 
algorithms if they match the search query, but that is a signal destined to 
lose value. As more people get into automated and cheap content to turn park 
pages into automated low cost community driven sites, search engines are going 
to learn that it doesn't make sense to give a matching domain default status in 
a category.

Should I really give a XXXX about the .xxx domain?
Not unless you believe that all adult material should be consigned to an 
interweb ghetto, because it's not going to be. Last week Icann, the 
organisation that oversees the allocation of top-level domains (TLD) online, 
decided not to go ahead with creating .xxx for the adult industry - mostly on 
the grounds that it was unworkable and would lead to Icann being dragged into 
content regulation, which is outside its remit.

Rights and Content Issues May Complicate Internet Domain Name Expansion
This article says “[f]uture TLD applicants will have to take many different 
rights into consideration, according to draft final recommendations” that were 
“discussed during the meeting by ICANN’s GNSO.” Further, they “have to document 
support from special communities affected by the applied-for TLD. They also 
must ‘not infringe on the legal right of others,’ not be ‘confusingly similar 
to existing top-level domains,’ not be ‘reserved names’ and not be ‘contrary to 
generally accepted legal norms relating to morality and public order.’ 
Questions arose in Lisbon as to whether anything could still be opened up as a 
new TLD given the sum of these restrictions.” Milton Mueller asks “Is it 
possible for anybody to create a controversial proposal and get it approved 
under this process?” He gives the example of an .abortion TLD that “might not 
be well received by the Catholic Church.” The article also looks at the role of 
governments and

ICANN Board Vote Signals Era of Censorship in Domain Names by Robin Gross
The ICANN Meeting in Lisbon last week ended with an important vote by the ICANN 
Board of Directors on the application to create a new top level domain “.XXX”.  
On 30 March 2007 the ICANN Board voted 9-5 to block the introduction of the new 
.XXX domain name space for non-technical reasons. This vote has important 
implications in the larger debate at ICANN to set the general policy over the 
introduction of new top level domains.
