Regarding the fact that national governments have decided to regulate the international cyberspace with state laws, it seems quite certain that the starting point for all considerations of Internet governance should be the analysis of the existing rules upon which the regulating states base their competences - the rules of international jurisdiction. The paper thoroughly discusses the traditional principles of international jurisdiction, shows their practical applications known so far and contrasts them with new circumstances, specific for the Internet, in which these rules should be used. It analyses the territoriality principle, effects principle, active and passive personality principle, protective principle and the universality principle. It discusses their use in traditional international law, including a brief look at the specific concept of international spaces with their unique jurisdictional regime. It than goes on to examine each of the discussed principles for their applicability to the Internet. http://ssrn.com/abstract=1445452 The International Experience in Regard to Procedures for Settling Conflicts Relating to Copyright in the Digital Environment by Karim Benyekhlef & Fabien Gelinas [Copyright Bulletin] Abstract: This piece is the abridged version of a report to UNESCO Member States prepared at the request of the Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Copyright Committee. 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. http://ssrn.com/abstract=1446880 New Technologies and the Need of a Uniform Legal System by Joanna Kulesza Abstract: The paper presents the grounds for a creation of a legitimate international regime to govern the World Wide Web. It derives from the propositions and experiences of the WSIS and the WGIG. The controversies surrounding ICANN are thoroughly discussed and the most urging problems of international law, emanating from its mandate, are presented. http://ssrn.com/abstract=1446768 ********************** GOVERNANCE ********************** Google's Cerf urges wider Internet access In the world according to Vint Cerf, Google's "chief evangelist" and one of the Internet's pioneers, broadband will be treated like a utility, with new infrastructure providing maximum benefit to the public and entrepreneurs seeking to harness it. http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_20090813_8044.php ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** All our financial information at the click of a button One of the consistent pieces of feedback I receive as ICANN’s Chief Financial Officer is that people want to know what it is that the organization is spending its money on.

This is in contrast to the transfer of money between two parties in a transaction that involves existing assets.

The Internet is expanding but current IPv4 addresses are running short: The growth in broadband subscriptions has helped fuel the expansion of the Internet and also been one source of its growing pains. The number of Internet hosts worldwide grew at 33% compounded annually between 1998 and 2008 to reach 540 million hosts in January 2008. Over half of all hosts (287 million) had a generic, top-level domain rather than one tied to a country code. ... This growth in the number of networks, and devices attached to those networks has led to a shortage of unique Internet addresses used to identify individual devices connected to the Internet. As a result, there is a need for all network operators to upgrade to a new Internet addressing scheme, Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6). Based on allocation trends, experts estimate that the addresses in the current scheme (IPv4) will run out in 2011 or early 2012 (January 2009 projections). http://www.oecd.org/document/44/0,3343,en_2649_34225_43435308_1_1_1_1,00.html http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/24/32/43472431.pdf Australia leads the way in IPv6 adoption: OECD Australia is one of the countries leading the way in IPv6 adoption, according to an Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) report which calls for more network operators to follow its lead as IPv4 is running out. http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/314963/ http://www.techworld.com.au/article/314963/ Internet addresses to run out by 2011 Experts have warned that internet addresses based on the current scheme (IPv4) will run out in 2011 or by early 2012, according to a report from the OECD. http://www.itp.net/news/564791-internet-addresses-to-run-out-by-2011 http://www.arabianbusiness.com/564791-internet-addresses-to-run-out-by-2011 IPv6, Phone Numbers and Analogies by Derek Morr My local area code (814) is running out of phone numbers. When discussing IPv6 with non-technical folks, I frequently use the hypothetical scenario of running out of phone numbers as an analogy for IPv4 address depletion. The conversation usually goes like this: "Imagine if we were running out of phone numbers. One way of solving that problem would be to make them bigger. Instead of ten digits, what if we made then thirty digits? If we did that, how many other things would we have to change? Some mundane things like business cards, letterhead, and phone books. But also more substantial things..." http://www.circleid.com/posts/ipv6_phone_numbers_and_analogies/ ********************** - MISCELLANEOUS ********************** What If a Domain Registry Shuts Down? I saw a thread on a .Mobi domain discussion forum that posed the question, “When will dotMobi shut down?” I know discussions about certain domain extensions are always hot button topics, so I want to refrain from the discussion about specific extensions. However, I want to ask if you have ever considered what would happen to your domain names if a registry were to shut down? I’m not talking about a registrar like RegisterFly.com, but a registry that manages an entire domain extension. http://www.elliotsblog.com/what-if-a-domain-registry-shuts-down-1208 ICA Endorses Paperless UDRP On August 12 the ICA filed a comment letter with ICANN endorsing a proposal from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to move to an almost entirely paperless UDRP, also known as eUDRP.
