10. ICANN Calls For Feedback On Domain Tasting
Last week's call for feedback on domain tasting from ICANN gained a
reasonable amount of coverage. Thomas Claburn writing in Information Week,
among others, suggested this raised the possibility that domain speculation
might someday be curtailed. The rest of Claburn's article explains domain
tasting and the history. Other articles seem to reproduce the ICANN
announcement.
Elsewhere, WebProNews also looks at the announcement and domain tasting,
suggesting it "may have larger implications than just bulk domainers being
clever enough to leverage a bureaucratic loophole. Manipulation like this
can affect organic rankings in the search results, and most likely has a
direct impact on the cost per click of paid advertisements." And it's here
that small businesses don't like domain tasting. The article comments on the
ICANN announcement that ICANN doesn't seem to like the practice "as it does
tend to screw with their numbers (and revenues), but ICANN being the
quasi-governmental entity that it is, it has to go through the proper
channels before cracking down." WebProNews has some suggestions, these being
abolish the grace period so registration fees are non-refundable between
registry and registrar, apply ICANN transaction fee to names deleted in the
grace period and imposing 'excess deletion fees' to registrars for
disproportionate deletes. Another option mentioned was to abolish the grace
period on bulk buys only.

25. Does Success Hinge on a Domain Name?
An entrepreneur with a startup looking for a domain and business name will
often play around "with sounds in hopes of hitting upon a unique combination
of vowels and consonants that he could turn into a brand" according to this
Business Week story, the story in itself an example of the importance of
domain names today. Using this method, Business Week reports it's given us a
range of start-ups with names like Bebo, Etsy, Lala, Lulu, Zlio, Zoho, Ning,
and Zing. Business Week notes all but 20,000 of the available combinations
of 4 letter domains have been taken. With such a scarcity of 4 letter
domains, it's led to domainers getting in on the act. An example given is of
one domainer who now owns several thousand 4 letter domains, selling 7 or 8
domains per month for an average of around US$1,000. Business Week notes
less than 1% of domain sales break $100,000.

RESEARCH ARTICLE
**********************
1. Freedom of Expression, Democratic Norms, and Internet Governance by Dawn
C. Nunziato [George Washington University Law School]
Abstract extract: In this Article, Dawn C. Nunziato sets forth her
conception of the normative procedural and substantive ideals of liberal
democracy, with an eye toward how these ideals should be implemented in the
context of Internet governance. She then examines whether ICANN's governance
structure embodies the normative ideals of liberal democracy. While ICANN's
framers committed it to procedural democratic norms, they failed to commit
ICANN to substantive normative ideals integral to liberal democracy such as
the protection of freedom of expression. Next, she provides concrete
recommendations for ICANN to implement meaningful protections for freedom of
expression by looking to the general themes and principles embodied within
the United States' First Amendment jurisprudence.

2. Web TV demands high-power broadband
The increased demand for high-bandwidth services, such as internet TV, is
likely to place such strain on the telecommunications infrastructure that
new ways of increasing capacity need to be explored as a matter of priority,
Ofcom has said. Services such as the video-sharing site YouTube and the BBC
iPlayer, which allows users to download shows after they have been
broadcast, take up vast amounts of bandwidth compared with text and
image-based sites. Their popularity means that new ways must be found to
cope with demand, the regulator said, such as piggy-backing new cables on
the electricity grid.

3. Spam spike from Chinese domains
There has been a significant rise in spam originating from Chinese domains,
according to the latest statistics from security vendor Symantec. In its
report issued Monday, Symantec noted a sharp spike in spam messages
containing URLs that use ".cn" ccTLD. During the month of July, the amount
of spam rose from virtually zero to around 450 spam domains.

4. IT security: Too big for government
Information technology security and information assurance are becoming too
critical, too big and too complex a problem for the government to handle by
itself, according to two security experts. But they disagree on how well
government and industry are responding to the need for greater cooperation
to improve cybersecurity.
... But Richard Clarke, former U.S. counterterrorism czar, said effective
leadership could have accomplished much more by now. Service providers could
be filtering malware before it hits the local-area network and end user, he
said. There could be better and more encryption, a secure Domain Name System
and a parallel network structure to provide priority service during
emergencies.
However, there are bright spots. Companies are beginning to reduce the scope
of vulnerabilities in their software and IPv6 is slowly moving forward,
especially in Asia. But Clarke is not optimistic about the government's
ability to make use of the new version of IP, which is supposed to be
enabled on agencies' backbone networks by next June.

5. The Case Against DNSSEC by Ron Aitchison
I was talking to my good friend Verner Entwhistle the other day when he
suddenly turned to me and said "I don't think we need DNSSEC". Sharp intake
of breath. Transpired after a long and involved discussion his case boiled
down to four points: 1. SSL provides known and trusted security, DNSSEC is
superfluous, 2. DNSSEC is complex and potentially prone to errors, 3. DNSSEC
makes DoS attacks worse, 4. DNSSEC does not solve the last mile problem.
Let's take them one at a time.

6. How to know when something smells 'phishy'
It looked perfectly normal. I was preoccupied with another task, but noticed
an e-mail that warned me of trouble in one of my online banking accounts. So
I clicked on the link in the mail message and was taken to a site that
looked exactly like my bank's site. Not thinking, I typed in my username.
Then I happened to glance up at the URL.

7. "domain Name Spying"—the Latest Technique In Domain Name Sabotage
If you are a new Internet business owner, you likely have spent a good deal
of time trying to determine what domain name will be best for your
operations. To this end, you may have taken the steps necessary to determine
the availability of a particular domain name. In fact, finding that it is
available may have made you very pleased. Not registering the domain name
upon your first visit, you return a couple of days later ... to find that
someone else has registered the domain name you wanted in the interim.

8. ICANN Calls For Feedback On Domain Tasting
On Friday, ICANN asked the Internet community for input about domain
tasting, raising the possibility that domain speculation might someday be
curtailed. Domain tasting has been debated for several years. A letter in
March 2006 from Edward G. Viltz, president and CEO of the Public Interest
Registry (PIR), which manages the .ORG domain, urged ICANN to look into the
effect of domain tasting on Internet stability and security.

As domain names continue to surface, the numbers of people who engaged into

with its Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the
Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) recently presents serious
dangers to the innocent domain name owners.

Die private Netzverwaltung ICANN hat am vergangenen Freitag den Startschuss
