World slowdown hits net as web addresses broaden
You know times are tough when even the internet sector is talking about a 
slowdown. Growth in the global domain registration industry -- the sale of the 
.coms and .nets that make up internet addresses -- is expected to slow over the 
next three years, with the average price of domain names falling.

That Letter to ICANN from the NTIA by Antony Van Couvering
A cranky letter from the NTIA to ICANN, submitted in late December during 
ICANN's comment period for new top-level domains, has encouraged the awkward 
coalition of those opposed to new TLDs. The NTIA (National Telecommunications 
and Information Administration), a division of the Department of Commerce, is 
the agency tasked with being ICANN's watchdog. So a letter from them carries 
some weight, though not as much as some people think.

ICM Registry Publicly Posts Filings for Independent Review Panel Against ICANN 
on .XXX Domain
ICM Registry (proponents of the .xxx initiative) and Stuart Lawley, Chairman 
and President of the organization, have filed a 522-page brief in the ongoing 
Independent Review Process that began last June. The document with supporting 
witness statements from Becky Burr, former Commerce Department official, and 
Dr. Liz Williams, along with expert testimonies from Milton Mueller and Prof. 
Jack Goldsmith.

IDN Fast Track Process Update
ICANN recently proposed (for public comment) a Draft Implementation Plan for 
the introduction of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) on a limited basis 
for ccTLDs. The Plan follows the recommendations of the ICANN’s policy making 
supporting organizations and advisory committees.

Those Who Seek to Control the Internet Could Break It
As ICANN prepares to launch its biggest change in domain policy since the 
founding of the Internet, government efforts to hold onto control could lead to 
a splintering of the Internet along linguistic lines. If the effort succeeds, 
the potential benefits for business are massive.

Revenge of the .xxx domain? by Brenden Kuerbis
In what may prove to be the biggest sleeper Internet governance issue of the 
year, ICM Registry has publicly posted its filings for the Independent Review 
Panel that will decide whether ICANN acted improperly in rejecting its 
application for a .xxx domain. ICM Registry participated in ICANN's 2004 round 
of "sponsored" top level domain additions. Its application to run a top level 
domain reserved for adult content provoked a global controversy when the Bush 
Administration, responding to a mass mobilization from its base of religious 
conservative groups, pressured ICANN to reverse its June 1, 2005 vote that the 
.xxx domain met its eligibility criteria. ICANN's Board eventually killed the 
application in March of 2007.

Obama Administration Outlines Cyber Security Strategy
President Barack Obama's administration has sketched out a broad new strategy 
to protect the nation's most vital information networks from cyber attack and 
to boost investment and research on cyber security. 
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/01/obama_administration_outlines.html

White House Technology Agenda
President Obama and Vice President Biden understand the immense transformative 
power of technology and innovation and how they can improve the lives of 
Americans. They will work to ensure the full and free exchange of information 
through an open Internet and use technology to create a more transparent and 
connected democracy. They will encourage the deployment of modern 
communications infrastructure to improve America's competitiveness and employ 
technology to solve our nation's most pressing problems -- including improving 
clean energy, healthcare costs, and public safety.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/technology/

Obama outlined his Cybersecurity Strategy on Day 2
The Washington Post has summarised the Cybersecurity elements in the policy 
document on homeland security posted on the Whitehouse website last Wednesday. 
I do recommend you read this and then consider the state of play regarding the 
"vision" or otherwise of the UK and European Governments. ... The struggles to 
preserve confidence in the Internet as safe and reliable will not be won unless 
we also improve cybersecurity by addressing long-standing vulnerabilities: from 
the domain name system to the single points of failure in the overcentralised 
and standardised communications and distribution networks over which we acess 
the Internet or on which we depend for food, power and fuel.
