It was the first country in the world to accept women's right to vote, in 1893. In the 1930s, it emerged as a pioneer of the modern welfare state. Fifty years later, in the 1980s, it was the first state to declare itself nuclear-free. Less creditably, during the same decade, New Zealand became host to the first social democratic government to embrace a free-market programme of wholesale privatisation, liberalisation and deregulation. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/jul/03/newzealand.transport ********************** RESEARCH PAPERS ********************** States, Markets, and Gatekeepers: Public-Private Regulatory Regimes in an Era of Economic Globalization by Christopher M. Bruner [Society of International Economic Law (SIEL) Inaugural Conference Paper] Abstract: This paper illuminates the spectrum of international economic regimes through discussion of an under-theorized regulatory structure in which traditional distinctions between state and market, public and private power, hard and soft law, and international and domestic policy realms, essentially collapse - the public-private gatekeeper. Specifically, I examine striking similarities between global bond markets and e-commerce markets through comparison of entities regulating admission to them - the dominant credit rating agencies (Standard & Poor's and Moody's), and ICANN. Following an examination of the development of these markets and the global regulatory power exercised by these private-sector entities as a result of their unusual positions under U.S. law, the paper considers the challenge they pose to prevailing theoretical perspectives on the regulation of the global economy. http://ssrn.com/abstract=1152307 ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** ICANN Response to Recent Security Threats ICANN has been the recent target of an online attacks.

This means that eventually, when the staff drafts, community comments upon, and Board approves implementation processes, those with deep pockets will have the opportunity to bid for new TLD strings. http://www.circleid.com/posts/icann_new_tld_hype/ Spreading too fast for its own or anyone else’s good - letter to the editor From Mr Philip Sheppard: Sir, Michael Skapinker is right to challenge the incomprehensibility of jargon (“The plain and simple truth about jargon”, July 1).

At the ICANN meeting in Paris, the organization came face to face with the prospect of making good that claim, and it....delayed. Over the next month, we will see how that issue is resolved.

The authors conclude that ALAC has made progress, but due to several factors, has not made any significant contributions. Under the current system, the prohibitive costs associated with active participation ensure that only a select group of people, representing concentrated interests, will ever be able to consistently participate and make significant contributions to the Internet governance process. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/6/29/3754794.html ICANN loses its own addresses This doesn’t sound good: The nonprofit agency in charge of the Internet’s addresses recently lost track of its own.

But in the blogosphere, people use the word cybersquatting to mean a variety of different things. The good news for both, trademark holders and domainers, is that both the courts under the ACPA and Arbitration Panels at WIPO and NAF under the UDRP continue to become more consistent in their definition and application of cybersquatting principles in their decisions. http://tcattorney.typepad.com/anticybersquatting_consum/2008/07/the-three-views.html ca: Dion won't shift on green slogan [Canwest] Liberal Leader Stephane Dion says he doesn't think the Green Shift environmental company is being hurt by his party's use of the same name for its carbon tax policy and "it will be OK." ...
