ICANN to Convene Consultations on Registry/Registrar Report
On 24 October 2008, ICANN posted the CRA International report titled, 
"Revisiting Vertical Separation of Registries and Registrars". This paper has 
generated significant discussion in the community as it discusses the potential 
easing of the requirement for the separation of gTLD registries and registrars.
http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-09dec08-en.htm

Public Comment: Bylaws Revisions re: Committees
At its 7 November 2008 Board meeting in Cairo the ICANN Board determined that 
in the best interests of ICANN, the Conflicts of Interest Committee and the 
Reconsideration Committee should be dissolved and the responsibilities of those 
committees should be transferred to the Board Governance Committee.

Public Comment Period on Registries/Registrars Report Extended
The public comment period on a report by CRA International on gTLD registries

New Generic Top Level Domains – Should You Apply for One?
A TLD is the last part of an Internet address (i.e. the part which follows the 
"dot"). For example, in the Internet address for our firm's website, 
www.brazeauseller.com, ".COM" is the TLD. Generic TLD's ("gTLDs") are the 
relatively few TLD's which are open for registration to anyone in the world. 
.COM is the most commonly known gTLD, but others include .ORG, .NET and .INFO. 
They are unlike, for example, country-code TLD's such as .CA, which require 
domain name registrants to meet certain Canadian presence requirements.

In a report released Monday, the nonpartisan Center for Strategic &

 - DOMAIN DISPUTES
**********************
Kentucky Persuades Court to Seize Domains, by Elizabeth Oliveira, Sedo Legal 
Team
On October 16, 2008 the Kentucky Circuit Court for Franklin County ordered the 
seizure of 141 domain names, forcing registrars to forfeit the registrations of 
these domains to the state of Kentucky. This order was the result of the 
Circuit Court’s holding that internet domain names are a form of physical 
property located within the state and therefore subject to in rem jurisdiction 
of the courts. Though currently on appeal, the courts decision in this case 
could have a serious negative impact on all domain owners due to its sweeping 
expansion of jurisdiction. The good news is that, many in the internet and 
domain industry believe that the ruling will not stand upon review by the Court 
of Appeals.

Not apparent in the decision is the fact that the trademark alleged by the

disclosed by complainant as part of their filing, and not discovered by 
respondent until after an adverse panel decision had been rendered.

All domainers want to know how to make a profit from their domains, but a

yours domains. Make sure that you are familiar with your registrar’s practices 
and procedures. All contacts for your domains should be listed with YOUR 
information and NOT someone else’s.

IGF: Schlagabtausch zum Einfluss der Regierungen im DNS
Die aktuelle Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise stelle heute auch im Bereich der 
Internetdomains eine rein marktgetriebene Entwicklung in Frage, warnte Everton 
Lucero, Vertreter des brasilianischen Außenministeriums in Washington beim 3. 
Internet Governance Forum IGF in Hyderabad. Er bezweifelt, dass ein 
selbstregulierter Domainmarkt dem öffentlichen Interesse dient, sagte Lucero. 
"Und da nehme ich es mit jedem hier auf." Lucero sprach sich deswegen für eine 
Stärkung des Regierungsbeirates der ICANN aus. Evertons Gegenspieler Richard 
Beaird, der Vertreter des US-Außenministeriums, unterstrich demgegenüber den 
Gedanken von der Internet-Ökonomie als Motor der weiteren Entwicklung.
