One year after the first IGF in Athens, it is clear that government, industry and civil society stakeholders are still grappling over the direction and focus of the IGF. For skeptics who view the IGF as little more than a talk shop that kicked the Internet Governance can down the road five years, the evolution of this dialogue is of minor consequence. For those who view the IGF as something more, it is clear that the IGF dialogue will indeed evolve and, along the way, will impact the conceptual approach governments take to the Internet itself. There is little doubt that some governments will choose to borrow concepts from the IGF when developing law and policy and will ultimately apply them to the Internet within their respective jurisdictions. Given the global nature of the Internet, this should be a fundamental concern. http://www.circleid.com/posts/7101616_the_internet_of_things_governance/ iSchool Takes Leadership Role in Promoting Discussion of Global Internet Governance [news release] The School of Information Studies (iSchool) is playing a lead role in the Second Annual Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) Symposium on November 11 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The academic community involved in GigaNet is anticipated to be a substantial contributor to Internet policy discussions occurring at the global level. The symposiums program committee was chaired by iSchool Professor Milton Mueller and is sponsored by four research groups, including the Internet Governance Project (IGP), which involves four professors from Syracuse University and is based out of the iSchool at Syracuse. http://ischool.syr.edu/about/news.aspx?recid=472 Internet preparing to go into outer space [AFP] After expanding across Earth, the Internet is now set to spread into outer space to reach parts no network has gone before, one of its co-creators predicted Wednesday.

According to Brewer, Mark wanted to come up with a catchy Internet domain name that Azurix could use as an online trading platform for water, much as Enron had done in the field of natural gas. Azurix employees and executives brainstormed and came up with several potential website names, including Waterswap.com, Watervault.com and Water2Water.com. In one case, Brewer says, it was decided on a Friday afternoon that Azurix should register a particular domain name. Part of Brewer's job was to register the site. But on the following Monday morning, when she tried to do so, Brewer learned that Jusbasche had scooped up the domain name Friday evening. Brewer informed her boss, Mends. http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/2007-10-11-enron-lynn-brewer_N.htm Russian Hosting Firm Denies Criminal Ties, Says It May Sue Blacklister Speaking to the Western press for the first time, a Russia-based web-hosting firm pilloried by security companies as a free zone for online crime insists that it's really just misunderstood.

Under the new FTC order, the defendant must give up $164,000 in ill-gotten gains, conform to enhanced compliance and monitoring requirements, and transmit a copy of the new order to his probation officer. In October 2001, the FTC charged that John Zuccarini was registering Internet domain names that were misspellings of legitimate domain names or that incorporated transposed or inverted words or phrases. For example, the defendant registered 15 variations of the popular childrens cartoon site, www.cartoonnetwork.com, and 41 variations on the name of pop star Britney Spears. Surfers who looked for a site but misspelled its Web address or inverted a term using cartoonjoe.com, for example, rather than joecartoon.com were taken to the defendant's sites. They then were allegedly bombarded with a rapid series of windows displaying ads for goods and services ranging from Internet gambling to pornography. In some cases, the legitimate Web site the consumer was attempting to access also was launched, so consumers thought the series of ads was from a legitimate Web site. It was difficult or impossible for consumers to close the windows or escape. http://ftc.gov/opa/2007/10/cupcake.shtm Porn typosquatter fined again by FTC [IDG] A so-called typosquatter who served pornographic advertisements on domains such as Bobthebiulder.com and teltubbies.com has been fined again by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/10/16/Porn-typosquatter-fined-again-by-FTC_1.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,138517-c,adsvisitortracking/article.html http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/101607-porn-typosquatter-fined-again-by.html Serial typosquatter settles FTC charges An internet hijacker who allegedly registered 5,500 copycat web addresses in a bid to divert lost surfers onto a porno site has agreed to hand over $164,000 to settle charges brought against him by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC). http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/17/web_hijack_settlement/ Pirates commandeer anti-piracy web address The Pirate Bay, a Swedish organisation well-known as the scourge of law enforcement agencies and anti-piracy advocates, has staged one of its most audacious raids to date.
