Cohen and the Consequences of Recognizing Property Rights in Domain Names by Noah M. Schottenstein [VIRGINIA JOURNAL OF LAW & TECHNOLOGY] Abstract: In Kremen v. Cohen the Ninth Circuit recognized a property right in domain names, defining property as any form of intangible benefit that is distinct and excludable. This reasoning is flawed for three reasons: (1) it is grounded in a faulty understanding of property law; (2) it is over-inclusive, capturing a variety of things and benefits that have been explicitly removed from the realm of property; (3) and it is under-inclusive, as it fails to consider a number of interests necessary for evaluating if something should be deemed property. This doctrine, broadly applied, would result in a massive expansion of legal interests classified as property. http://www.vjolt.net/vol14/issue1/v14i1_a1%20-%20Schottenstein.pdf Internet Governance: Why Plato is Still Relevant by Konstantinos Komaitis In December 2008, the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) has successfully completed its third installment on issues pertaining to Internet governance. The IGF promotes a multistakeholder environment, where protagonists engage in an extensive debate to discuss how the Internet should look in the future; with these discussions in place issues of cultural diversity and cultural relativism become more relevant than ever before. http://ijclp.net/files/ijclp_web-doc_7-13-2009.pdf Accountability in Internet Governance by Rolf H. Weber Internet governance and Internet-related decision-making processes are gaining importance due to the increased use of new technological possibilities. Since a fundamental change of the present self-regulatory regime with ICANN as main organizational body is not likely to be realized in the near future, means of improvement of the present mechanisms need to be tackled. A key issue is accountability, apart from transparency. Accountability is the assumption of responsibility for actions, decisions, and policies within the scope of the designated role. http://ijclp.net/files/ijclp_web-doc_8-13-2009.pdf ICANN, Cultural Imperialism, and Democratization of Internet Governance by Brian Gailey, Bryant University2 Dissertation Abstract: Internet Governance has largely been managed by the United States government since its burgeoning in the 1990’s. The government has since entrusted and charged internet technical tasks and functions to ICANN. The organization along with the United States government has been the subject of heavy criticism for its inadequate international representation. Many interpret US hegemony over the internet as culturally imperialistic. The following paper explores the some of the advantages and disadvantages to multilateral Internet governance. Firstly, it will evaluate ICANN’s ability to both democratize their internal decision-making and internationalize the web by better serving foreign Internet end-users. Next, the paper examines the attitudes of Americans towards the US relinquishing control to international organizations such as the United Nations. The conclusions address both effectiveness of ICANN as well as what may be hindering the US from surrendering control to foreign governments based on nonpolitical reasons. http://digitalcommons.bryant.edu/honors_communication/5/ The National ccTLD Disputes: Between State Actors and Non-State Actors by Y.J. Park Since 1985, non-state actors under Jon Postel’s leadership have experimented creating virtual national spaces on the Internet through so-called “country code top level domain names”. There are 251 ccTLDs on the Internet. In 1998, ICANN - the newly established coordination body for Internet addresses including ccTLDs - stressed out the principle of private sector leadership instead of public sector administration of Internet identifiers. ICANN’s coordination of ccTLDs required state actors to comply with the principle of private sector leadership in a top-down manner. As of 2009, the question of how to govern ccTLDs is still disputed at the national level between state actors and non-state actors, with state actors starting to reassert their power over ccTLDs, ignoring the principle of private sector leadership recommended by ICANN. This study presents five different national ccTLDs dispute cases, to investigate why national ccTLDs disputes have increased after the establishment of ICANN and how are state actors trying to regain control over ccTLDs. http://ijclp.net/files/ijclp_web-doc_10-13-2009.pdf ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** Rod Beckstrom to head domain-name agency Over the past 40 years, the Internet has evolved from a research project into a global communications grid, but it is still run by quirky processes created way back when it was a network of geeks. Last week, Palo Alto businessman Rod Beckstrom assumed a critical but little-known role in the governance of cyberspace when he took a roughly $1 million-a-year job as president of ICANN. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/05/BUEE18HAT6.DTL Internet overseer gets more power to go after shady domain registrars ICANN, the organization that oversees the most popular web domain names, has been given more tools to go after unscrupulous domain registrars, offering online retailers hope of fewer disputes over web addresses and faster action against cybersquatters that register domains using variants of well-known brand names. http://www.internetretailer.com/dailyNews.asp?id=31031 Presenting a Way Forward: Step-by-Step and ICANN's New gTLD Process by Eric Brunner-Williams I read this to the ICANN Board Thursday morning, in Sydney, after more prep work than I care to recall. If you don't know that the DAGv3 is delayed, or what the IRT is, this is a good time to bush up on current ICANN state. http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090702_presenting_way_forward_icann_new_gtld_process/ What are TLDs Good For? by John Levine Yesterday I said that the original motivations for adding new TLDs were to break VeriSign's monopoly on .COM, and to use domain names as directories [links: here and blog]. Competitive registrars broke the monopoly more effectively than any new domains, and the new domains that tried to be directories have failed. So what could a new TLD do? http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090703_what_are_tlds_good_for/ Comments to ICANN opposing recommendations made in the Implementation Recommendation Team (IRT) Report ... In a nutshell, if ICANN adopts the recommendations made by the IRT committee (that was stacked with representatives of trademark interests) you will lose the small amount of protection you still have against over-reaching trademark holders through the current UDRP system. It would be replaced by a new URS (Uniform Rapid Suspension) system that would make it far easier for someone who has designs on your assets to put you out of business. http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2009/dailyposts/07-03-09.htm Rod Beckstrom Speech to ICANN Rod Beckstrom's was officially appointed as ICANN's new headman during the ICANN board meeting in Sydney, Australia. http://www.isquattedyour.eu/2009/06/30/rod-beckstrom-speech-to-icann/ Lag will set our broadband back: Paul Twomey An internet expert says while the Government's National Broadband Network will put the country on par with world leaders in internet speeds, Australia may still be years off the pace.

The parties are working on an interim approach to deployment, by year’s end, of a security technology -- Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) -- at the authoritative root zone (i.e., the address book) of the Internet. There will be further consultations with the Internet technical community as the testing and implementation plans are developed. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press/2009/OIA_DNSSEC_090603.html ICANN Asks for Feedback About Its Web Site ICANN’s web site is outdated, and the organization knows it.
