Moringiello [Univeristy of Cincinnati Law Review/Widener Law School Legal Studies Research] Abstract:In this article, I analyze the opinion in Network Solutions, Inc. v. Umbro International, Inc., the case that sparked much discussion about whether an internet domain name can be considered "property" of the registrant. I argue that for the purposes of creditors' rights laws, the characterization of a domain name as property or not is essentially irrelevant because under the laws governing creditors' rights, almost any right with monetary value can be made available to creditors. The thesis of this article is that judges can rework existing laws governing creditors' remedies to account for new technologies. Courts have been adapting such remedies to novel assets for more than a century, and there is nothing inherent in domain names to suggest that courts cannot do the same with respect to them. http://ssrn.com/abstract=1270651 ********************** GOVERNANCE ********************** Vint Cerf talks up the next-generation internet Google's chief internet evangelist Vint Cerf has set out his view of the internet's future to coincide with the search giant's 10th birthday. http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2227019/vint-cerf-previews-generation http://itnews.com.au/News/NewsStory.aspx?story=85551 Francis Gurry of Australia Appointed as WIPO Director General [news release] The General Assembly of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) appointed by acclamation on September 22, 2008, Mr. Francis Gurry, a national of Australia, as Director General of WIPO for a six-year term that begins on October 1, 2008 and runs through September 2014.

A TAR would provide a centralized location where top level registries could place public key information pertaining to their zone’s trust anchor. The key information could be accessed by secure resolvers to initiate the validation of signed zone data. The TAR idea had been floated by several actors in lieu of the difficulty of getting DNSSEC deployed at the root. It seems that the TAR concept continues to gain traction. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/9/24/3896210.html NameSmash Interview: Antony Van Couvering and the Dawn of the Expanded TLD System There is a lot of ground to cover in time for the approaching storm of new TLDs.

So DENIC will be the first domain registry to break new ground in this field: It plans to substitute the high-performance Domaincheck (DCHK) for the known information service whois in the medium term. The DCHK specification, published at the start of 2008, is based on the IRIS standard (Internet Registry Information Service), which needed several years of intensive work to be established.

His claimed authority is a 1974 law against "gambling devices", on the theory that a domain is a "device", and online gambling is taking money away from in-state horse racing and the lottery. The judge sensibly has said that he doesn't understand all the issues, and has given all sides a week to submit briefs. Two domains, highrollerslounge.com and luckypyramidcasino.com have been reassigned to the state, probably by a registrar who didn't understand the issues either.
