ICANN, Security And Nation States by Monika Ermert [sub req'd]
The future of ICANN will remain an important topic in Internet governance in 
2008, the tenth anniversary of the private global coordination body for 
Internet addresses and domain names. Yet experts also expect security in its 
different facets to be on the rise in Internet governance debates and point to 
the further growing interest of nation states in exercising their sovereign 
governance rights in cyberspace. And it is increasingly the case that 
governance of the Internet can affect access to online content.

SIDN, the .nl registry, has announced that purely numeric .nl domain names will 
be available to everyone from 28 February 2008 12.00 hrs (CET). Numeric domain 
names are names made up entirely of numbers (e.g. 1234.nl), or of numbers 
separated by hyphens (e.g. 12-34.nl). In the first few days after registration 
begins, SIDN expects a ‘landrush’ of people racing to get the ‘best’

prevent its systems becoming overloaded. Full details of the start-line 
arrangements can be found at www.sidn.nl.

Is IPv6 A Solution In Search Of A Problem?
A few weeks ago, David Siegel of Global Crossing looked at some high-profile 
websites and found that none of them have made the switch to IPv6, the supposed 
replacement for today's 32-bit Internet addressing scheme. The IPv6 protocols 
have been finalized for a decade, and major operating systems have supported it 
for several years, so one would expect Internet-savvy companies like Google and 
Microsoft to have started running IPv6 versions of their sites.

U.S. small businesses are rushing their choice of web address, with 42 percent 
investing under 1 hour of thought in the decision, according to a survey 
released today by 1&1 Internet Inc., the world's largest web host by known 
servers. A survey of 1,074 American businesses revealed that the average 
business spends less than 12 hours choosing their main domain name. Some 60 
percent of business owners sought no second opinion before making a selection 
and over half (57 percent) did not consider options such as .biz or .net at 
all. Most recognized that their domain name could have a lasting effect on 
their business, with one third of businesses (37 percent) believing that their 
revenue would improve as a direct result of having a better web address, and 1 
in 4 businesses (28 percent) admitting they had 'concerns' about the 
effectiveness of their web address.

want to pay any registration fee. I take seriously anything he says, expecially

Why Google Can't Stop Domain Tasting by Bret Fausett
... Call me deeply skeptical. Google cutting off the ad revenue from tasting 
won't change anything because it doesn't address the underlying reason people 
taste domains in the first place. Few people taste domains for the incidental 
revenue earned during the taste period. You taste a domain name to see if it 
has traffic.

Arricchirsi con un dominio internet A Los Angeles la grande asta mondiale
Se la crisi dei mutui americani continua a farsi sentire minacciando l'economia 
di tutto il mondo, le centinaia di persone che hanno partecipato martedì e 
mercoledì scorsi al "DomainFest" di Los Angeles proprio non dovranno 
preoccuparsi di tassi d'interesse o imposte sugli immobili. Gli indirizzi che 
hanno acquistato all'asta, infatti, rischiano di trasformarsi in una vera 
miniera d'oro e in centinaia di dollari al giorno di guadagni pubblicitari: si 
tratta, infatti, di indirizzi internet.
