OECD discussion by Kieren McCarthy ICANN is not responsible in any way for the expansion or promotion of the Internet as a network but inevitably the organisation is asked what it can do, and philosophically at least, we are dedicated to ensuring the network’s many benefits are enjoyed by as many people around the globe as possible. It is also in our interests to make sure that the organisation is in a position to effectively engage the “next billion users”. http://blog.icann.org/?p=277 Your Internet: Open or Closed?

The committee met last week in New Delhi, India, to discuss SSAC's recent report on the topic, which found that practically all instances that users had perceived to be domain name frontrunning were either just misunderstandings about how domain registrations work or mere coincidence. As a result, the committee took Network Solutions to task for its own controversial practices that the company claims are meant to protect users from frontrunning. SSAC demanded further evidence to support the reasoning behind the company's actions. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080217-icann-panel-questions-network-solutions-on-frontrunning.html Panel: No evidence of domain snatching [AP] An Internet committee investigating suspicious domain name transactions has found no evidence that insider information is being used to snatch desired Internet addresses to make money off the individual or business that actually wants to register them.

The idea is that those holding addresses they do not really need will sell them for a profit. More alarming is that there have been a few articles about how the Regional Internet Registries (RIR) are contemplating creating such a market so that they can regulate it, conceding that it will happen anyway and taking the "if you can't be 'em, join 'em" attitude. This is all a bit disturbing.
