How did we get here? The Guardian wants your input The internet is sort-of-40 this year. Not in the sense of a Hollywood actor who is in reality much older but prefers to act vague, however. In the sense that if you set the October 1969 networking of US research universities through Arpanet as the start point then it is a significant birthday. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/aug/11/internet-computing Politicians should stay out of Net policing by Axel Pawlik, managing director of the Ripe NCC perspective: The Digital Britain report proposed that ISPs should adopt a more active regulatory role to help curb piracy and the distribution of illegal content. Yet it is debatable whether ISPs are best placed to act as the gatekeepers of the Internet, because the control they have over the networks is limited. ... Governments should look after the interests of the public by taking an active role in the debates and policy-making processes of the Internet community. They also need to work closely with the community to ensure an appropriate, flexible, regulatory framework is in place to help stimulate innovation and growth. There are already examples in the internet industry of the problems over-regulation can produce. Afnic, the French registry for the .fr country code top-level domains, is a classic illustration of how regulation can impede growth. http://www.zdnetasia.com/insight/internet/0,39044877,62056558,00.htm ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** The End of Domain Tasting : AGP Deletes Decrease 99.7% ICANN is today posting an AGP (Add Grace Period) Deletes Status Report to publicize how use of the AGP has dramatically changed following implementation of the AGP Budget Provision and the AGP Limits Policy.

According to new figures published by anti-spam effort KnujOn -- which has long focused its efforts on putting the heat on Web hosting companies who allow the pharmacies to do business, and on ICANN to better enforce it's own rules in pursuing such law breakers -- Bing search results currently produce reams of illegal pill-pushing ads. http://securitywatch.eweek.com/illegal_pharmacies/criminal_prescription_fake_pharmacies_haunt_bing.html Agencies struggling over control of cybersecurity overblown, say DHS officials Reports of a struggle among agencies about who should oversee governmentwide cybersecurity are inaccurate, and the biggest problem in locking down federal networks is recruiting enough information security workers, said Homeland Security Department officials. ... Stories about the tension over who should manage the government's overall cybersecurity programs have circulated for months, with the debate focusing on DHS and the National Security Agency. It peaked on March 5, when Rod Beckstrom, director of the National Cybersecurity Center, expressed in his letter of resignation frustration over the growing influence of NSA in cybersecurity management. http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_20090812_8505.php Cybersecurity resignations raise questions The resignation last week of two of the government's top cybersecurity officials has raised questions about President Obama's much-touted effort to fix policy for defending the nation's computer networks. ...
