As we have explained in other posts, this reorganization is an important, long overdue reform. It has the potential to create a fairer, more balanced and more productive GNSO. It is still possible, however, for ICANN’s Board to fumble the ball. That is because there are groups who don’t want to fix the GNSO. Rather, they want to prolong or worsen its problems so that special interests can hang on to power and continue to play the obstructionist games that have made the GNSO an exercise in futility for so long. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/5/20/4193044.html ICANN 37 To Be Held In Kenya ICANN's 37th public meeting, which is to be held from March 7th to March 13th 2010, is to take place in Kenya. http://www.isquattedyour.eu/2009/05/22/icann-37-to-be-held-in-kenya/ Uncharted territory ICANN’s plans to liberalise the domain name system by introducing an additional tier of new generic top-Level domains has left many brand owners worried about their online brand strategies.

He explains his priorities and the challenges he expects to face to Edward Fennell ... An Australian national with a doctorate from Cambridge, Gurry has spent most of his career within WIPO. He started there as a consultant and senior programme officer 24 years ago and is proud of the work he has undertaken along the way, establishing WIPO’s Arbitration and Mediation Center, spearheading the domain name process and the organisation’s work in the areas of traditional knowledge and life sciences and overseeing international patent policy development and the Patent Cooperation Treaty. He says he also gets satisfaction from the part he played in enhancing the organisation’s role as a facilitator of international IP debates and as a provider of IP services. http://www.cpaglobal.com/ip-review-online/widgets/interview/more/3331 Senators Push for Strickling to Keep Eye on ICANN U.S. Senators Olympia Snowe (of the infamous “Snowe Bill” ), R-Maine, and Bill Nelson, D-Fla, are pushing for incoming National Telecommunications & Information Administration chief Larry Strickling to keep a watchful eye on ICANN, reports Nextgov. http://domainnamewire.com/2009/05/21/senators-push-for-strickling-to-keep-eye-on-icann/ Domain Name System Expansion Creates Opportunities, Risks for Companies The Internet is changing in ways that companies need to closely monitor.

Although there is a definite role for government to play in accelerating progress toward higher levels of cybersecurity, it will be more akin to trying to deal with global warming than dealing with telephone, banking, or automotive industry policies, Gartner Vice President John Pescatore said. "Different approaches are required to ensure reliable and secure services in cyberspace than on old telecom networks, and the development of public policy has to proceed very differently, as well," he said in a press release. Government policy that attempts to force top-down solutions onto an inherently peer-to-peer problem will always fail, he said. http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2009/05/operational-cybersecurity-appr.php us: Experts make push for cybersecurity coordination center President Obama should create a national cybersecurity coordinating center with public and private sector representation that can provide near real-time warnings and share threat data with government and industry stakeholders about high-tech attacks against critical infrastructure, a panel of experts said Thursday. http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_20090522_5667.php Kaspersky impressed by botnet slickness Cybercrime fighter Eugene Kaspersky can't help but be impressed by the slick operations behind the Conficker botnet, and says that it could have been worse had the botnet been after more than just money. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10246721-83.html http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/security/0,39044215,62054273,00.htm http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-303959.html Cybersecurity Groups Launch "Chain of Trust" Initiative to Combat Malware [news release] Three of the world's leading cybersecurity groups today launched a new initiative to combat malicious software (malware) by establishing a "Chain of Trust" among all organizations and individuals that play a role in securing the Internet. http://cdt.org/press/20090519press.php DNS attack downs Internet in parts of China [IDG] An attack on the servers of a domain registrar in China caused an online video application to cripple Internet access in parts of the country late on Wednesday. http://www.pcworld.com/article/165319/.html http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9133376 http://www.arnnet.com.au/article/304123/ http://computerworld.com.au/article/304123/ Online attack locks up Net in several provinces An organized Internet attack on Tuesday night caused serious congestion in several provinces and autonomous region, left millions of users unable to access the Internet, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said. http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2009/200905/20090522/article_401711.htm DNSPod Reports Hacking To Chinese Public Security Organ Chinese domain name service provider and registrar DNSPod has reported hacking activities that affected its services and caused network outages in various provinces this week to its local public security organ under the requirement of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. http://www.chinatechnews.com/2009/05/22/9824-dnspod-reports-hacking-to-chinese-public-security-organ/ DDoS attack chokes Chinese net surfing Millions of internet users in China had trouble accessing websites earlier this week after an attack on a domain registrar in that country touched off a network traffic jam. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/21/chinese_ddos_attacks/ DNSSEC Industry Coalition Symposium is Announced [news release] The DNSSEC Industry Coalition Symposium is announced today in collaboration with Google, Nominum, Inc. and ICANN and will be held June 11-12, 2009, in Washington, DC.
