The second group contains the /8s which showed less unofficial use. http://www.iana.org/reports/2009/ipv4-selection-mechanism.html The US as Keeper of a 'Free' Internet? by Rudolf Rijgersberg The immanent expiration date (September 30) of the joint project agreement between ICANN and the US government, establishing the US as unilateral supervisor over Internet's addressing and Domain Name System (DNS) operations, has rejuvenated the call for an internationalization of Internet oversight. The average Internet user, however, is unlikely to benefit from a change in the current status quo as both alternatives, full privatization and intergovernmental oversight, are bound to affect both the Internet's innovative power and the personal liberties enjoyed by its users. http://www.circleid.com/posts/the_us_as_keeper_of_a_free_internet/ Nicholas Weston - INTA tilts at new internationalised GTLDs and ccTLDs coming in 2010 The Full Employment Act for Domain Name Practitioners, otherwise known as the new gTLDs IDN program proposed by ICANN (the acronym obsessed, global domain name bureaucrats), could be active on the Internet by the end of 2010. Under this program, it is proposed that (in summary), generic, geographical and brand names can be registered to the right of the last dot (for example, .melbourne, .aboriginal, .christian and so on). These may conflict with existing gTLD’s and ccTLD’s and with trade marks in various jurisdictions. http://www.australiantrademarkslawblog.com/2009/09/articles/domain-names/nicholas-weston-inta-tilts-at-new-internationalised-gtlds-and-cctlds-coming-in-2010/ The New Internet – The Expansion of Top Level Domains - An Update Neil Brown has prepared a paper on the coming expansion of the internet.

(Articulación De Fuentes Para La Administración Del Dominio .Co: ¿Inserción De Colombia En El Entorno Internacional?) Abstract: The Law 1065 of 2006, specifically regulated the administration of the domain name .co, and established that this constitutes a resource of public interest of the telecommunications sector, whose administration should be exercised by the Department of Communications as an administrative function, which can be delegated to an individual. The regulation of the administration of the domain.co as an administrative function seems to go against the private nature that conceived the domain http://ssrn.com/abstract=1468482 CZ.NIC demonstrates the advantages of having your own internet domain [news release] Internet users who normally use domain names often have no idea of the opportunities afforded by registering their own domains and how to acquire them. The number of domains registered by individuals and organizations in the Czech Republic is therefore significantly lower than in comparable countries in Western Europe. The CZ.NIC Association, administrator of the .cz domain, therefore launches an awareness campaign today, the main objective of which is to highlight the advantages of having your own domain, showing how easy it is to register an internet domain and explain how to take care of and protect it. The campaign, which is aimed at the broader internet public, uses the special microsite, www.dobradomena.cz, for this purpose. http://www.nic.cz/page/670/cz.nic-demonstrates-the-advantages-of-having-your-own-internet-domain/ December date for internationalised .eu domain names EURid is pleased to announce that .eu will support IDNs effective 10 December.
