The WSJ reporters received a lot of flak for the piece—justifiably so. There was no real "news" in this news article. Google's deals for edge caching and similar services such as Akamai, which speed up content delivery, have been around for years. Lessig's comments at an unspecified "conference" happened months ago. The WSJ's sudden interest in the topic seemed more like an attempt to poison the well as the Obama Administration and its net neutrality-friendly team ascends to power. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/12/17/4024793.html http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081219_one_good_outcome_wsj_story/ IGF Workshop Report: "The Future of ICANN: After the JPA, What?" by Brenden Kuerbis ICANN, which coordinates and sets policy for the global DNS and IP addressing, is linked to the US Government through a Joint Project Agreement (JPA) that expires in September 2009. The JPA and its renewal process provides what, during WSIS, became known as "political oversight" over ICANN. The US government says that it is committed to "completing the transition" to private sector coordination of the DNS, which implies an expiration of the JPA. During the 2008 mid-term review, ICANN made it clear that it also strongly supports an end to the JPA. ICANN's call was supported by some stakeholders. Other parties, however, expressed concerns about its accountability without some kind of governmental oversight. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/12/15/4022207.html ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** Revamped Whois Inaccuracy Reporting System Goes Live A redesigned system for receiving reports of inaccurate domain name registration data has gone live today. http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-19dec08-en.htm ICANN Releases Upgraded Invalid Whois Reporting System ICANN has updated its Whois Data Problem Report System (WDPRS), which anyone can use to submit reports of inaccurate whois information on a domain name. http://domainnamewire.com/2008/12/22/icann-releases-upgraded-invalid-whois-reporting-system/ What's in a Domain Name? The Changing Internet Generic, top-level domain names, or gTLD, such as .com or .net, are the sorters of the Internet. They serve the single purpose of identifying the database in which a domain name is registered. The .gov component of whitehouse.gov, for instance, identifies the domain name as registered in the "government" database. The .com in microsoft.com identifies that domain name as registered in the "commercial" database. http://www.law.com/jsp/legaltechnology/pubArticleLT.jsp?id=1202426840648 US Govt Advises ICANN Not to Risk DNS "Security and Stability" in gTLD Expansion The United States Department of Commerce has advised ICANN not to “jeopardise the security and stability of the DNS” if it goes ahead with its plan to introduce new gTLDs. http://technewsreview.com.au/article.php?article=6866 http://www.domainnews.com/en/general/us-govt-advises-icann-not-to-risk-dns-security-and-stability.html http://www.domainpulse.com/2008/12/22/us-govt-advises-icann-not-to-risk-dns-security-and-stability/ US Department of Commerce Doesn't Like ICANN's New Domain Plan by John Levine ICANN's authority to manage top level of the DNS comes from a two-year Joint Project Agreement (JPA) signed with the US Department of Commerce in 1997, since extended seven times, most recently until September 2009. Since the DoC can unilaterally cancel the JPA which would put ICANN out of the DNS business, when DoC speaks, ICANN listens. http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081221_us_department_commerce_icann_tld_plan/ U.S. Says Go Slow In Expanding .Com, .Net The U.S. government urged Internet standard-setters to move slowly on a proposal to relax rules on domain names such as .com or .edu, over concerns about economic costs and security. http://uk.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUKTRE4BI4WR20081219 http://in.reuters.com/article/internetNews/idINTRE4BI4WR20081219 http://www.informationweek.com/news/services/data/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212501510 http://www.canada.com/topics/technology/news/gizmos/story.html?id=e5122ed2-6fdb-49c9-8566-57c9c45616cb US Govt says not so fast for new gTLDs The U.S. Government has joined the chorus saying "Not so fast!" to ICANN's plan to start rolling out an unlimited number of new global domain extensions next year. In a report just released this afternoon, Reuters reporter Kim Dixon said the U.S. Department of Commerce, the branch that oversees ICANN, sent a letter to the domain name system's oversight body yesterday (Dec. 18) stating "It is unclear that the threshold question of whether the potential consumer benefits outweigh the potential costs has been adequately addressed." http://dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2008/dailyposts/12-19-08.htm U.S. government urges caution over ICANN domain name expansion Back in June of this year ICANN proposed plans to relax the rules on top level domain names. Companies and individuals would therefore be allowed to create and run any domain they wish for a price. Such plans could lead to the introduction of .apple, .cola and .geek to name a few examples. http://www.geek.com/articles/news/us-government-urges-caution-over-icann-domain-name-expansion-20081222/ Analysis: U.S. Government Has Domainers’ Backs You’ve probably read a lot about ICANN’s introduction of new top level domains.

A related abuse is front running, registrars speculatively grabbing domains that people inquire about to prevent them from using a different registrar. http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081218_icann_schedule_to_kill_domain_tasting/ Commerce Dept.

This means that a legal market for trading in rapidly-depleting IPv4 address resources will go into effect for any member of RIPE-NCC. To discourage speculation, the proposal retains a simple form of needs assessment and prevents buyers of address resources from reselling them for two years. RIPE's decisive action contrasts markedly with the contentious drama surrounding IPv4 transfer markets in the North American region. After months and months of debate ARIN is still paralyzed and riven by ideological disagreements. However, the implementation of the idea in the European region will provide a chance to prove the concept. It is also possible that the RIPE market will turn into a global one, as addresses can be transferred by any RIPE member, and it is (we think) possible for Internet service providers from outside the region to join RIPE. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2008/12/20/4029818.html IPv6 Makes Slow Progress The Internet needs saving because, eventually, there will need to be enough IP addresses to connect mobile Internet devices for every person on the planet, all computers, and all network devices, with enough space left over to connect TVs, video players, and even alarm clocks to the Internet. http://www.informationweek.com/news/infrastructure/ipv6/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212501014 ISOC invests USD 70000 in internet projects including IPv6 Monday [reg req'd] Approximately USD 70000 will be invested in community-based internet projects around the world to tackle issues ranging from IPv6 deployment to provide... http://www.telecompaper.com/news/article.aspx?cid=651057 ********************** - MISCELLANEOUS ********************** The Internet's 100 oldest dot-com domains The Internet's been around in some form for decades.
