NomCom Chair, Tricia Drakes, said "We are delighted to announce this year's selectees to ICANN's leadership. They include highly accomplished individuals from Russia, India, Malaysia, Jamaica, Argentina, Chile and the United States. The Committee's hard work has given us a result that we believe balances continuity and diversity, and includes the selection of the youngest ever member to serve on the ICANN Board.

The date is set at October 2. The purpose of the affair is to debate, discuss and seek out common ground on some of the issues facing the global Internet Governance Forum operated by the United Nations, which will be held in Egypt November 15-18. In particular, we seek agreement on whether to support the IGF's renewal for another 5 year term. We note, however, that this is really an IGF Washington not an IGF-USA, as its organization, awareness and programming are pretty much confined to the nation’s capitol and it lacks the preparation time and breadth of participation to be considered a nationwide effort. A website will be up soon. http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/8/28/4303273.html ICANN GNSO Chair Joins the Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) to Support Civil Society at ICANN The Chair of ICANN’s Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Avri Doria joined ICANN’s Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) to support civil society at ICANN in its struggle for a stakeholder group charter that is drafted in a bottom-up fashion and considers the needs of noncommercial users of the Internet.

A debate is raging between some existing registries (Afilias, PIR, Neustar) and registrars like ourselves over the issue of 'cross-ownership' in Top-Level Domains (TLDs). At question: should the same set of shareholders be allowed to own all or part of a registry as well as a registrar that sells names in the TLD owned by the registry? These registries are saying 'no', and one of their principal objections is they think current registrars have an unfair advantage in pursuing TLD deals. Their argument is that we're better placed to get new TLDs as we can guarantee retail distribution of the TLD. http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090830_registry_registrar_cross_ownership_a_reality_check/ ********************** - DOMAINING & AFTERMARKET ********************** Fab Fortnight: Quartet of 6-Figure Sales Leads the Way as the Aftermarket Continues to Defy the Dog Days of August The dog days.
