If the network that carries Internet traffic were a highway, it would be as if every car owner, "rushed out and traded in their cars for massive 20-wheel trucks," stated the report from University of California-San Diego Professor Michael Kleeman, a senior fellow at the USC Annenberg Center for Communication.

The Silicon Valley giant, famous for its punishing hiring process and exacting standards, received a short email asking a straightforward question. "Do you need any help?" it said. A one-word response - "yes" - was enough to secure a job with the company. It was unusual in many respects, of course: the man saying yes was Google chief executive Eric Schmidt - and the man asking the question was Vint Cerf, the pioneering researcher commonly regarded as one of the founding fathers of the internet. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/aug/30/guardianweeklytechnologysection.google The man who invented the 21st century: Vint Cerf created the internet. Now he wants to solve the mystery of disappearing socks It was only when he reached the middle of nowhere that Vint Cerf realised what he had done. This is somewhat ironic, given the pan-global nature of his career to date, but it was in a one-horse town at least 100 miles from anywhere you ever heard of that he began to fully appreciate the implications of the whirlwind he had unleashed. Driving through the desolate stretches of the mid-American wilderness on his way to a houseboat holiday, the full-time inventor of the internet and part-time gourmet suddenly remembered that if he was to cook the perfect paella that evening, he was going to need to score some saffron. http://www.sundayherald.com/life/people/display.var.1658530.0.0.php Vint Cerf in call to preserve data for posterity The man who created the internet and the protocols on which it still functions highlighted the dangers we face with ever changing file formats, applications and operating systems. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/08/30/cnnet130.xml Internet has to stay open, says Cerf [sub req'd] Any threat to open access to the internet would be a hazard to innovation and a deterrent to investment, one of the founding fathers of the internet has warned. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/fc7d2cb8-5725-11dc-9a3a-0000779fd2ac.html Internet Governance Forum to be held in Geneva With preparations well under way for the second IGF, taking place in Rio de Janeiro from 12 to 15 November, participants of the event will gather in Geneva at the Palais des Nations on Monday, 3 September to discuss the details of the agenda and programme of the four-day meeting in Brazil. http://mediaforfreedom.com/ReadArticle.asp?ArticleID=4089 ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** Net "out of IPv4 addresses by 2011" says Cerf Last week Google's Internet Evangelist and co-creator of the TCP/IP protocol told a packed auditorium at the University of Buenos Aires that the Net as we know it will run out of spare IPv4 addresses by 2011. http://theinquirer.net/?article=42065 IP extends its reach in data storage It is 15 years since internet pioneer Vint Cerf tore off his shirt to reveal a T-shirt bearing the slogan "IP on everything" at a meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force.

The comments reflect overwhelming opposition to the Council's attempt to impose a standard of "morality and public order" on new TLD strings. The vast majority of comments -- about 60 of the 75 or so comments -- criticized the policy of censoring TLD strings and asked ICANN to stick to technical and operational criteria. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2007/8/30/3195588.html Updated Proposed .MUSEUM sTLD Registry Agreement Posted for Public Comment An updated version of the proposed .MUSEUM sponsorship agreement is posted today for public comment. The amendment from the previous draft agreement is a result of significant collaboration between the registry sponsor and community members. The updated agreement is posted today with the intention of submitting it to the ICANN Board for approval after the 30-day comment period. http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-31aug07.htm IANA Report on Redelegation of the .DM TLD IANA received a request for the redelegation of the .DM (Dominica) TLD. ... IANA Recommendation: According to RFC 1591 and ICP-1, IANA needs to respect the ability for a local Internet community as well as local law and local government to make decisions about the operation of a TLD. In its research, IANA believes that there are strong grounds for reassignment of the domain name under the relevant criteria. The current operators have clearly stated that they are no longer managing the domain and that the proposed operators have been the entity in charge for a number of years already. IANA therefore concludes that the .DM domain should be redelegated to the DotDM Corporation as per their request. The Board subsequently passed a resolution regarding the redelegation of the .DM domain to DotDM Corporation and it is approved. http://www.iana.org/reports/dm-report-31jul2007.html Inside Views: Acting To Protect Freedom of Expression At ICANN by Dan Krimm The continuing saga at ICANN about policy for approving new gTLDs is entering what may be its final stages this summer. There has been a stream of controversy surrounding the .xxx gTLD proposal that was rejected by the ICANN Board of Directors at its March 2007 meeting in Lisbon, and ICANNs GNSO has continued to work on recommendations for a uniform policy to govern gTLDs, through a special New gTLDs Committee that was set up in a Policy Development Process in December 2005. http://ip-watch.org/weblog/index.php?p=730&res=1920_ff Court tosses $11 million judgment against Spamhaus At least for now, Spamhaus, the popular British spam-blacklisting organization, won't have to cough up $11.7 million as part of a spat with an Illinois e-mail marketing company.
