The piece outlines the early experiments and the legal challenges of online dispute resolution after placing them in the historical context of transnational regulation. It is one of the very first attempts to explore the similarities between today's normative digital environments and the borderless trade environments that prevailed before the concept of the nation-state had gained ascendancy. The text is also available in English and Spanish. Maintenant que l’effet de nouveauté cesse petit à petit de brouiller une bonne partie du spectre des nouvelles technologies de l’information, le temps de l’analyse normative peut prendre toute l’importance qu’il convient d’accorder aux règles, normes, directives, codes, associations, etc. qui encadrent et définissent les rapports de droit entre les participants aux échanges commerciaux et informationnels. Il s’agit de penser la régulation des environnements électroniques dans une perspective normative plurielle et de puiser, pour ce faire, à des sources anciennes et plus nouvelles. ...

Mercredi dernier, 18 février, le régulateur d'Internet a ainsi publié un document de 154 pages, détaillant et analysant les centaines de commentaires qu'il a reçus à ce propos : «New gTLD draft applicant guidebook : Analysis of public comment». http://www.lemondeinformatique.fr/actualites/lire-l-icann-ecoute-les-inquietudes-formulees-autour-de-l-extension-des-noms-de-domaine-generiques-28112.html http://www.reseaux-telecoms.net/actualites/lire-l-icann-retarde-l-extension-des-noms-de-domaine-generiques-pour-mieux-peser-les-risques-19602.html L'ICANN repousse les nouvelles extensions web En juin 2008, L'ICANN a annoncé son souhait de libéraliser les extensions de noms de domaine (TLD). Cette initiative a pour but de relancer le marché des noms de domaine en permettant aux entités commerciales de créer elles-mêmes leur(s) extension(s) web pour revendre par la suite les noms de domaine associés. http://www.neteco.com/258658-icann-repousse-extensions-web.html Classement 01net./MailClub : le .fr gagne une place Au classement de février des enregistrements de noms de domaine, le .fr grimpe d'une place et vise désormais le top 15 des principales extensions mondiales. http://www.01net.com/editorial/403761/classement-01net./mailclub-le-.fr-gagne-une-place/ La fin de l’exubérante spéculation sur les noms de domaine Après avoir connu une dimension spéculative depuis quelques années, la revente des noms de domaine pourrait subir la crise de plein front… De quoi envisager cueillir quelques bonnes affaires? http://www.journaldunet.com/ebusiness/expert/36357/la-fin-de-l-exuberante-speculation-sur-les-noms-de-domaine.shtml Revente de noms de domaine : hausse des volumes, baisse en valeur Revendiquant le titre de « première plate-forme mondiale d'achat-vente de noms de domaine », la société allemande a publié en début de mois quelques statistiques intéressantes sur le second marché des noms de domaine. http://www.neteco.com/258952-revente-noms-domaine-hausse-volumes-baisse-valeur.html Google lance AdSense pour les noms de domaine Les amateurs de domain parking apprécieront : Google vient d'étendre son service de monétisation de pages Web aux noms de domaine vacants, auxquels aucun site n'est encore associé. Il sera donc maintenant possible d'habiller un nom de domaine encore non utilisé d'une page d'annonces AdSense dont les liens sponsorisés seront, au moins en théorie, en rapport avec l'adresse enregistrée. http://www.neteco.com/258488-google-adsense-noms-domaine.html Sans parler du '.paris'! Visiblement, le Sénateur Masson est obnubilé par la question de la protection des noms de commune sur internet.

L'apertura indiscriminata delle estensioni di dominio è un progetto che andrà in porto, ma ancor non si sa quando.
