Will VeriSign control the root? by Brenden Kuerbis Just who will be "it" and control the secure DNS root took another turn this week at ICANN-Delhi, when VeriSign unexpectedly announced it would implement a DNSSEC test bed for the root zone either later this year or the beginning of next year. In a discussion that covered root zone management process improvement and DNSSEC test bed implementation, VeriSign's Ken Silva acknowledged that the current process is somewhat of a "black box." The 20+ year telecommunications and security industry exec and former executive technical director at the NSA, cited their current role as publisher of the root zone and its need to be familiar with all the anticipated components that will go into future root zone database management as reason for the initiative. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/2/15/3525996.html ICANN Friday New Delhi by Susan Crawford Calling all interested civil society groups, universities, and academics - please be involved in ICANN working groups. There’s a worry - it’s a personal worry of mine, and I’m speaking only for myself - that ICANN isn’t getting enough input from these actors. The GNSO restructuring will include a broadening of the “stakeholder group” for noncommercial registrants as well as a focus on open working groups as the atomic unit for policymaking. This means that thoughtful, persuasive people from the noncommercial side (as well as the commercial side, of course) will have an opportunity to get involved in a single-issue working group without having to navigate all the complexities of ICANN’s structures and politics. http://scrawford.net/blog/icann-friday-2/1117/ ICANN: Contribute to the ALAC Review by Wendy Seltzer [Old Delhi infrastructure, a metaphor for ICANN?] Every three years, ICANN’s bylaws call for the review of its component parts. The GNSO review produced many good recommendations for restructuring of the GNSO Council and its Policy Development Process. The triennial wheel has turned to the At-Large Advisory Committee, and ICANN, through Westlake Consulting, is calling for input as they consider “whether the ALAC has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure; and, If so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to improve its effectiveness.” http://wendy.seltzer.org/blog/archives/2008/02/14/icann-contribute-to-the-alac-review.html Investigation finds no evidence of front running A committee of the body responsible for the internet's addressing system has found no evidence of front running, a form of deceptive domain name acquisition. http://out-law.com/page-8881 Frontrunning A Ghost In The Machine The domain frontrunning issue isn't exactly an open-and-shut case.

ICANN's looking into it. Last week, at its meeting in New Delhi, ICANN grilled the popular domain registrar about its recent efforts to protect/bilk loyal customers. Network Solutions is now self-registering domains its customers show interest in, and though it claims this is merely an effort to prevent "domain front running," ICANN used its New Delhi meeting to reveal that a recent investigation into domain front running turned up exactly "zero cases" of this nefarious net practice. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/19/ican_questions_network_solutions_over_front_running/ Network Solutions Defends Holding Domains Hostage If you recall, back in January Network Solutions found themselves under fire for purchasing and holding certain domains for five days after they're searched for at the company's website. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Network-Solutions-Defends-Holding-Domains-Hostage-91951 ICANN proposes allowing domain names like ‘pdf’ Internet addresses ending in “.pdf” or “.mp3” could appear under a new proposal, while domain name suffixes consisting entirely of numbers would likely be rejected. http://www.timesleader.com/business/20080219_19_briefs_tech_biz_ART.html No evidence of ‘front running’ [sub req'd] 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. http://www.legalbrief.co.za/article.php?story=20080220090956858 ********************** - (cc)TLD NEWS ********************** '.Asia' web addresses fail to connect with firms The ".asia" internet domain being created to provide a new route to the world's largest internet community appears to have flopped, with only about 31,000 businesses registering for one of the new web properties.

Last week, the author explored the problems which countries like Jamaica have in protecting their names as domain names: At the meeting of the WIPO General Assembly in September 2002, a majority of delegations recommended that the UDRP be amended to provide protection for country names in the Domain Name System. The Standing Committee on the Law of Trademark, Intellectual Designs and Geographical Indications (SCT) continued discussion of these issues at its Ninth Session, and delegations supported the view that protection should be extended to the long and short names of countries, as provided by the United Nations Terminology Bulletin. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/magazines/Business/html/20080219T210000-0500_132712_OBS_COUNTRY_DOMAIN_NAMES___PART___.asp .TEL to open towards end of 2008 Details of the .TEL launch programme are still being finalised, but the new suffix is not expected to open before Q4 2008. http://domainesinfo.fr/english/169/tel-to-open-towards-end-of-2008.php UK domains at risk as .asia opens to public UK brands have been slower than their US and German counterparts to register for the new .asia domain name, which opens to the public tomorrow. http://www.netimperative.com/news/2008/february/18/uk-domains-at-risk-as-.asia-opens-to-public Regensburg is the new German domains capital The domain statistics implemented by German registry Denic show that on average, every eighth German citizen has a ".de" domain.

There are many uncertainties surrounding the depletion of the IPv4 address space and the move to IPv6. Currently, five Regional Internet Registries give out address space to anyone who can show a reasonable need for it and pays some administration costs. If nothing changes, that practice will end around 2012 when we run out of unused IPv4 addresses. One possible solution is creating an IP address space market, allowing people who need IPv4 addresses can buy them from those who have a surplus, so that IPv4 address space remains available for a few more years. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080218-can-an-ipv4-stock-market-stave-off-address-depletion-ipv6.html ********************** - MISCELLANEOUS ********************** Melbourne IT upbeat on earnings Melbourne IT has pledged another year of sales and earnings growth as it pumps up capital investment and eyes potential acquisitions.

Silver I was giving advice to someone today about buying a domain name that is currently generating significant parking revenue. The owner is using a min-site with Adsense to generate this revenue (we’ll say $5,000 annually for the sake of this post), and the potential buyer thinks he could earn much more if he develops it further. The owner’s asking price is steeper than the buyer is willing to spend (let’s say $100,000), but I think the buyer can get creative with his offer in an effort to strike a deal. http://www.elliotsblog.com/index.php/2008/02/19/lease-to-own-a-domain-name/ GreatDomains' Auction-Bid to Win!
