The ICANN is finally taking steps to figure out what to do if a registry fails. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/ICANN-Plans-For-Disaster-A-Registry-Failure/ Victory for civil society representation in ICANN by Milton Mueller The small working group created at the Paris meeting has come to an agreement about the voting distribution in ICANN’s policy making Council for domain names (the GNSO Council).

The letter, dated yesterday, essentially says that whatever happens with the JPA and ICANN's existential internal examinations, it won't affect the authority of the United States over the root zone. http://blog.lextext.com/blog/_archives/2008/7/31/3818429.html US Government wants to retain control of DNS root zone The US government has again emphasised that it will not give up its supervisory role in the management of the root zone of the DNS. In a letter to the ICANN, the US Department of Commerce explains that, although it is "open to operational efficiency measures that address governments' legitimate public policy and sovereignty concerns" with respect to the management of their country domains, it has no plans to change its own role, or the roles of ICANN and VeriSign. VeriSign is at present entrusted with passing system changes to the 13 authoritative root servers. http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/113758 http://www.heise-online.co.uk/news/US-Government-wants-to-retain-control-of-DNS-root-zone--/111227 Serbian Experts Criticize New Internet Surveillance Measures Recently, chatting on the internet, talking on Skype (visual and audio communication through the web), or just sending a simple e- mail have become subject to clearly regulated surveillance by the Serbian security services.

The minutes show a split board vote on the issue, two days of debate, supplementary comments from five board members explaining their vote, concerns about the lack of transparency, and a decision-making process that violated the central tenets of policy making. http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/3237/125/ CNNIC Releases the 22nd Statistical Report on the Internet Development in China - With the Largest Amount of both Netizens and ccTLDs in the World, a Big Internet Power Is Taking Shape by the end of June 2008, the amount of netizens in China had reached 253 million, surpassing that in the United States to be the first place in the world.

The following news story has been posted without confirmation. Even so, how long will it be before Google and Yahoo eliminate certain domains from its network in order to get click fraud under control. At the recent T.R.A.F.F.I.C Conference in Orlando, a Google executive made an appearance and warned domainers that Google was going ot be taking more aggressive action against click fraud. The suggestion is that some domainers create clicks, through software programs or human schemes, on the ads on their parked pages in order to fraudulently create adword revenue. Of course, advertisers using the Google adwords program are getting better at auditing click fraud and asking for refunds from Google. http://tcattorney.typepad.com/anticybersquatting_consum/2008/08/domain-parking.html 5 Ways to Make More Money with Domain Parking As domain parking revenue drops, sitting around and complaining won’t do you any good. http://domainnamewire.com/2008/08/01/5-ways-to-make-more-money-with-domain-parking/ The Bad Image of Domainers Eric Goldman, Assistant Professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law and Director of the school’s High-Tech Law Institute, made a post about domain lawsuits on his blog yesterday. http://www.dmueller.com/2008/08/03/domain-names-domains/the-bad-image-of-domainers/ Pair of 6-Figure .Org Sales Soar to Top Spot on DN Journal's Weekly Top 20 Chart Six-figure .org sales are rare but we saw a pair of them this week with Ringtones.org and Revolution.org commanding $120,000 apiece.
