Joint Project Agreement - ICANN's Response
The Joint Project Agreement (JPA) is between the United States government and 
ICANN for the purpose of transitioning the Internet domain name and addressing 
system to a private sector multi-stakeholder model of leadership. This 
agreement is in the process of a mid-term review for which the NTIA is 
currently receiving comments. ICANN urges all interested parties to review the 
documents ICANN has submitted in response to this review (linked above) and 
would encourage the community to contact the United States government directly 
to make their views known.
http://icann.org/

Public Comments Requested on Initial Draft Fast-Track Mechanism for 
Introduction of a Limited Number of IDN ccTLDs
This is a first Discussion Draft of the Initial Report of the IDNC Working 
Group (IDNC WG). It is published for comment and input from the ICANN 
community. This document has not been signed-off on by the IDNC Working Group 
whose members will continue to provide their own comments and input during this 
consultation period.
http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-01feb08.htm

ICANN Exploring Certification of Backend Registry Operators
In advance of the ICANN meeting in New Delhi, India, this announcement is to 
inform the community that ICANN is exploring a potential initiative for the 
certification of backend registry operators for new gTLDs. ICANN has identified 
registry operator certification as an area that may improve the application 
process for new gTLDs and improve security and stability by creating a pool of 
available and pre-qualified registry operators in the event of registry failure.
http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-31jan08.htm

Successful Evaluations of .test IDN TLDs
In October 2006, ICANN engaged Autonomica AB of Stockholm, Sweden, to develop, 
conduct, and report on the results of laboratory testing of internationalized 
top-level domains in a setting corresponding to the public root. On 7 March 
2007 the result of the laboratory tests were reported successfully. The 
laboratory technical test was one of the prerequisites to eventual insert 
internationalized top level labels in the root zone, which subsequently were 
done and the associated test facility was launched.

CDT: Plan for ICANN's Future Urgently Needed
ICANN does not have a mechanism to protect itself against governmental 
interference, CDT warned in comments filed with the U.S. Department of 
Commerce. While ICANN has made major strides in improving the transparency of 
its procedures, there is urgent need for a plan to guarantee its independence 
when its current contracts with the U.S. government are ended. Absent such such 
protections, CDT reluctantly opposed ICANN's request for early termination of 
one of its contracts.

Governments, ICANN and the JPA (part 2) by Milton Mueller
We were discussing how governments could take over ICANN. This was in response 
to a new meme gaining popularity within the Beltway: the idea that we need to 
retain the Commerce Department’s leash on ICANN (the JPA) because if we don’t, 
other governments (autocratic Russians, Chinese commie hordes, turbaned 
Islamo-fascists or languid, dirigiste Europeans) will somehow “interfere” with 
DNS.
http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/1/29/3494481.html

The Orwellian meme about the JPA by Milton Mueller
"War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength." And, according 
to the Center for Democracy and Technology, ICANN's Joint Projects Agreement 
giving the US government the ability to tell ICANN what to do is a way of 
"protecting the DNS against governmental interference." Hmmm...
http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/1/28/3492036.html

What would the internet be like had there been no ICANN? by Karl Auerbach
Suppose that back in 1997 the US Department of Commerce, via its National 
Telecommunications and Administration Administration (NTIA) had not adopted, 
without any demonstrable source of legal authority, that hangnail from the 
Reagan-Thatcher school of government - the idea that governmental powers are 
best exercised by private actors without the nuisances of public constraint and 
public oversight.

Google and ICANN vs domain tasters
Under current ICANN rules, anyone who registers a new domain name has a 
five-day grace period to back out and receive a total refund. The policy is in 
place to prevent hassles if people mistype domain names during signup or simply 
have buyer’s remorse at signing up for ilovespaminacan.com. But because a 
five-day registration is free, some users “taste” millions of domain names in 
order to see how well they perform as marketing vehicles. The sites that don’t 
perform are then deleted and the cash refunded.

Twenty years of .at domains
The Austrian top-level domain .at was registered with IANA (the Internet

open for registration. In Germany, the country domain .de started up on 5

DomainNews.com has been made aware of plans to relax the rules for registering

planned for these changes to go live on February 1, 2008 with a Sunrise period 
and a Go Live date for unrestricted registration on March 1, 2008. However 
these dates have been put back as the .pt registry consults further with the 
community. From what we understand, the changes will still take place, but at a 
date yet to be determined.

The arrival of IPv6 will eventually give agencies better security, more

By the end of June, the Office of Management and Budget expects agencies to 
have their network backbones ready to carry IPv6 traffic in addition to IPv4 
traffic.

**********************
us: You Are A Legitimate Domainer If ... You Do Not Cybersquat
There is a major perception problem that all domainers are cybersquatters. Of 
course, this is not true. Cybersquatters target well know brands and 
trademarks, as well as typos of those marks. Domainers target generic words 
that have limited or no trademark rights. The White Hat Domainers often get 
lumped in with Black Hat Cybersquatters. This misconception is typified this 
'tongue-in-cheek" post on the Domain Kid Blog as set forth below. Notice how it 
implies that cybersquatting activities are inherent in domaining.

Spicy.com Tastes the Top Spot on 2008's First Weekly Domain Sales Chart
The 2008 domain sales race is underway. The opening week of the new year was 
shortened, from a business standpoint, by two major holidays - New Year's Eve 
and New Year's Day. Many businesses and individuals took the whole week off so 
sales activity was predictably slow. Only one reported sale was higher than 
$30,000 - that was Spicy.com, the leader on the year's first Top 20 chart after 
closing at $81,000. That name was auctioned off by Moniker.com in a live 
auction at the InterNext conference.

closing at $130,000 after being auctioned off at the Moniker/T.R.A.F.F.I.C.

It's the "C" not the "I" by Rick Schwartz
Since I sold ireport.com to CNN I hear this chatter about "I" domains. The "I" 
part of the equation in the domain name is a very small part of the equation. 
The power the "I" had in this particular domain is extremely powerful. But as 
the title suggests, it is not about the "I" domain. It is about the "C" in 
"Circumstance." Circumstance is what drove this deal and drives almost all 
deals.

on whether the seller is motivated to sell.
