Civil society advisory group member Adam Peake has already opened an interesting dialogue on the governance list. I have some opinions about that... Too much of the energy of the Forum and its participants is being thrown away on issues that are not global in scope, and have nothing to do with global governance of the Internet. We all must pay closer attention to the distinction between issues that are best addressed at the national, local or regional levels and those that truly require global coordination and global institutions. IGF should be restricted to the global. If the truly global governance issues are actually quite narrow and specialized, and don't include the issues that turn you on, so be it. Those who are fundamentally not interested in those issues should find a more appropriate venue for their activities. The disappointing thing about IGF 2 was that the dialogue was so cluttered with things that do not require or will never get international coordination or agreement that it was impossible to focus on the things that do. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2007/11/27/3379397.html How Fragile Is Our Backbone? The knee bone’s connected to the thighbone, the thighbone’s connected to the hipbone, … well, you know the old song. But in this case, I’m thinking about the data backbone, which is also connected with each one of our lives. For years, I’ve debated with practitioners about the best method for maintaining critical business programs and data. Of late, more and more of that critical “stuff” has been moving to the “cloud” (a fancy name for the Internet). So your firm has its programs and data in a third-party provider’s data center, and that third-party touts the security and reliability of the data center. That’s fair enough, but does the provider control the networks you have to cross in order to get to their data center? Unfortunately, the answer is no. http://www.cpatechnologyadvisor.com/print/The-CPA-Technology-Advisor/How-Fragile-Is-Our-Backbone/1$1852 Net neutrality may not resolve Comcast vs. BitTorrent Comcast's recent efforts to throttle file transfers that use the BitTorrent protocol have led to a renewed call for Congress to enact stiff Net neutrality laws. Pro-regulatory groups including Public Knowledge have circulated press releases saying the episode demonstrates the "need for Net neutrality legislation." A Comcast-related post on DailyKos was titled "Why we need Net neutrality." Comcast, BitTorrent, and the phrase "need Net neutrality" appear in roughly 10,000 Web pages indexed by Google. http://www.news.com/2100-1028_3-6220802.html ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** Global Policy Proposal for Autonomous System Numbers – Background Report The development of Global Internet Number Resource Policies is the subject of an MoU between ASO/NRO and ICANN.

In an unprecedented alert, the Director-General of MI5 sent a confidential letter to 300 chief executives and security chiefs at banks, accountants and legal firms this week warning them that they were under attack from “Chinese state organisations”. It is believed to be the first time that the Government has directly accused China of involvement in web-based espionage. Such a blunt and explicit warning from Jonathan Evans could have serious diplomatic consequences and cast a shadow over Gordon Brown’s first official visit to China as Prime Minister early in the new year. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article2980250.ece World faces 'cyber cold war' threat [Reuters] A "cyber cold war" waged over the world's computers threatens to become one of the biggest threats to security in the next decade, according to a report published on Thursday.

Such domains (one specific example is www.yahhoo.com) are designed to take advantage of user typos, and drive pay-per-click advertising revenue back to domain name owners. Cybersquatting is a serious problem for business owners. The last thing any company wants is for its customers to be directed to websites that appear to belong to the trademark or brand owner and do not—especially if such sites could even potentially be outfitted to distribute virii, worms, or other malware. Now Dell has launched a heavy attack against a group of companies it alleges have systematically used its trademarks and brands without permission. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071130-cybersquatting-daisy-chain-leads-to-dell-trademark-infringement-lawsuit.html Can Typosquatting Be Counterfeiting? by Michael This seems to be media day. Brian Krebs quoted me in the Washingtonpost.com story Dell Takes Cybersquatters to Court. The story there is about Dell bringing a very large and organized case against a bunch of domain tasters (people who register domain names for a very brief period then drop them, so they don’t have to pay for them) who were apparently typosquatting on a grand scale. http://www.discourse.net/archives/2007/11/can_typosquatting_be_counterfeiting.html Fun With Domain Names Let's all applaud Dell for suing cybersquatters, and use this reminder to pay more attention to our own domain names. Microsoft won judgments against cybersquatters back in the spring. Use this reminder to check your own domain names. If your domain lends itself to misspelling or mistyping, grab those names for yourself. While it's unlikely someone will get rich selling advertising to your "almost" name, you want to make it as easy as possible for your customers and potential customers to find you. http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/22469 Domain Tasting: Big Multifaceted Action on Bad Actors by Frank Schilling Reported in the Washington Post no less: “Dell Takes Cybersquatters to Court”.

Tia Wood asks: “”Frank, after looking at a thread at DNF titled “Why Domains cost what they do…Your Reasoning?”, I don’t feel anyone has hit the nail on the head. To me, why domains cost the what they do has largely to do with reverse branding: the ability to reverse brand a word for a company instead of a company for a word. The same goes for branding words for individuals or organizations, etc. But the value lies within reverse brandability, correct? Which brings in a higher quality of consistent and valuable traffic.

Nun habe man dort "super viele Zugriffe", sodass man von dem zentralen Portal für die Vermarktung der Stadt sprechen könne.
