ICANN Concludes Asia/Pacific Registry/Registrar Regional Gathering
On 10-11 September 2008, ICANN hosted its third Asia/Pacific regional gathering 
in Seoul, Korea. The regional gathering approach to broadening participation in 
the ICANN process for gTLD registries and ICANN-accredited registrars was first 
introduced in February 2005 in Brussels, Belgium. And, since that time, ICANN 
has conducted annually three outreach events – one each in the Asia/Pacific, 
Europe and North America regions. As the participation in the community 
continues to expand to all parts of the world, ICANN anticipates adjusting the 
model to include other areas such as Latin America/Caribbean Islands, South 
America, Africa and the Middle East.

IEDR domain appeals process detrimental, says Irish ISP
Following a consultation with the Irish internet community, the IEDR (Irish 
Domains Registry) may bring about a formal appeals process that will have 
negative consequences for ISPs by effectively allowing anyone to query the 
registry of a .ie domain including one already registered, and setting the 
resources of ISPs towards sorting through a new redtape nightmare.

Banking crisis: Cyber-squatters cash in
It is not just hedge funds and short-sellers that are looking to cash-in on the 
global financial meltdown. Cyber-speculators have got in on the act too, 
snapping up online domain names in a game of guess the brand and the hope of 
selling their piece of internet property to the highest bidder. Yesterday the 
rather long-winded domain name www.bankofamericamerrilllynch.com went up for 
sale on auction site eBay with an asking price of $1500 (£832).

What's in a Name? Everything
Good company monikers suggest rather than describe; great ones have the 
flexibility to survive unforeseen changes or expansion - How to Trademark: The 
USPTO may register common non-descriptive names, but they run the risk of 
conflict with other similar names. The more common a name, the less likely the 
USPTO will register it. An exception is when an entrepreneur owns a generic 
domain name--a word that cannot usually be trademarked on its own. For example, 
the company that owns Cars.com may want to use Cars.com as its name to make a 
direct association between the company and the website.
