[AfrICANN-discuss] Week end reading

[Anne-Rachel Inné]

1. Vint Cerf, aka the godfather of the net, predicts the end of TV as we
know it
Vint Cerf's address at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television
Festival gets coverage in a number of UK media outlets. The talk covered a
range of technology issues including the future of television. With 85% of
all video pre-recorded, Cerf said the time is coming where content apart
from news, emergencies and special events (eg, sport) will be downloaded for
watching at the consumer's leisure. Recent concerns about the increase of
downloading video via the web bringing down the internet were dismissed as
"scare tactics" and that "We're far from exhausting the capacity."

2. The Tech Lab: Vint Cerf on the evolution of the internet
Vint Cerf, is known as one of the founder fathers of the internet, and
played a key role in the development of the protocols which underpin the
global net. In this BBC article, Vint addresses topics such as the growth
and evolution of the internet, robustness and security of the internet
including introducing DNSSEC, the non-trivial exercise to bring IPv6 online
in parallel with the present IPv4 system, the future of the net and the
opportunities it poses for society as a whole and the proliferation of
mobile devices and improvements in the ability of those devices to access
the web will accelerate access to information.

12. The Globe on Terror Goes Digital by Michael Geist
Last week's story (Media Clips, 20 August) from Canada's Globe and Mail on
Canada's and Register.com's contribution to terrorism is put in its place by
Professor Michael Geist. Geist makes four points ridiculing the Globe's
position. These points are that just because registrant information is not
made publicly available doesn't mean it's not collected, offering proxy or
anonymous registrations is not only a Register.com/Canadian issue, "the
article mistakenly states that the terror sites reside on servers in
Yarmouth" and finally "it is telling that the story does not include a
single mention of WHOIS related issues, including the long policy process
aimed at providing registrants with greater privacy protection (and thereby
eliminating the need for these services)."
http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/2185/125/

15. Intellectual Property Holders Press For Access To WHOIS Data
"The seven-year-old battle over access to WHOIS data remains a stalemate
this week, leaving reforms undone" reports InformationWeek. "The conflict
pits individuals and groups that favor privacy protections against
organizations and law enforcement agencies that favor data access to police
intellectual property and to curtail cybercrime." The article uses the
previously reported (23 August) post by Milton Mueller on the Internet
Governance Project's site as a source for information. The article notes the
"inability of the various stakeholders to reach any kind of consensus" while
caught in the middle are "registrars that have to balance customer data
protection with data access requirements mandated by" ICANN's RAA.

27. Businessman loses battle for gripe site domain name
"The figure behind controversial business schemes, Stephen Cleeve, has
failed in his bid to gain control of the .com domain name consisting of his
name. A site that criticises his activities has been allowed to keep the
name. In arguments before the [WIPO] ... arbitration panel, Australian body
Consumer Protection described Cleeve as a con man." The website in question
contains links to and excerpts from a number of articles from the BBC, News
of the World, and others detailing Cleeve's business exploits. Out-Law.com
says Cleeve argued the website using the domain name tarnished both his and
his business's reputation. Further, Out-Law.com noted Consumer Protection
said "Cleeve is free to take legal action over the content of the site, but
that that should not alter its right to own the address."

WESTERN SAHARA
**********************
i. Unemployment is Main Worry for Moroccans
Most people in Morocco believe candidates to the country's legislature
should pay special attention to social problems, according to a poll by
LMS-CSA. 70 per cent of respondents consider unemployment an important
electoral issue. Improving the health care system is second on the list of
topics with 65 per cent, followed by fighting poverty with 54 per cent,
battling corruption with 40 per cent, resolving the dispute over Western
Sahara with 20 per cent, and fighting terrorism also with 20 per cent.

ii. George W. Bush and the Western Saharan dossier
In less than 18 months Mr George Walker Bush, will be leaving the White
House. Perhaps his exit will please a lot of people. But he will long be
remembered by all lovers of freedom and democracy. He will also be
remembered as president who has principles and who is not a slave of slave
opinion polls. Others will think of him as one man who brought what they
will certainly call disaster. Such is life, for there is no human being, who
has succeeded to get unanimous positive approval in the world.

**********************
1. Vint Cerf, aka the godfather of the net, predicts the end of TV as we
know it
Talking at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival,
Vint Cerf said that the television industry would change rapidly as it
approached its "iPod moment". Cerf told an audience of media moguls that TV
was rapidly approaching the same kind of crunch moment that the music
industry faced with the arrival of the MP3 player.

3. The future of the Internet
What are the biggest challenges facing the internet's growth and stability,
and how should they be tackled? How will the rapid rise of video affect
internet infrastructure and drive the net neutrality debate? Will the
pursuit of ever more personal information by companies such as Google be
welcomed by users? ... Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson, the FT's Media Editor,
will put a selection of readers' questions to Prof Cerf in a video interview
that will go live on Thursday August 30.

4. Is the Internet Doomed to Self-destruct?
The Internet exploded like few other tech revolutions, and the digital
clouds are still swirling with no indication of settling soon. But there's a
problem. According to Jonathan Zittrain, professor of Internet Governance
and Regulation at Oxford University, England, the seeds of the Net's
destruction are being sown in the same wind streams that are now scattering
its influence.

5. UN Secretary-General confirms IGF advisory group members from business
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon this week confirmed the 47 members of the
multistakeholder advisory group who will help prepare a global gathering to
discuss issues of critical importance to the Internet. Several ICC/BASIS
representatives are among the names selected to lend business expertise to
the planning of the UN-linked Internet Governance Forum (IGF) which will
take place in Rio de Janeiro in November.

6. IGF's MAG renewed, governments flex muscles? by Jeanette Hofmann
Finally, the UN Secretary-General has renewed the mandate of the
multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) for the Internet Governance Forum.
Officially, the Advisory Group's mandate expired with the closure of the
IGF's first meeting in Athens in November 2006. Since then, the Advisory
Group's status has been in limbo. What looked like an understandable delay
for some time - there was a changeover of leadership in the UN headquarters
in early 2007 - became a problem in May this year. Following open
consultations in Geneva, the Advisory Group was supposed to meet to discuss
the agenda for the IGF's Rio meeting in November.

7. nz: Victoria Uni tech leads internet attack study
The international Honeynet Project has used honeypot technology developed at
Victoria University to track web-based security attacks. Even seemingly safe
web addresses are rife with attack code aiming at vulnerable clients,
according to the Honeynet Project study based on the technology. The authors
say that methods such as blacklists can be surprisingly successful in
stopping client-side attacks.

8. America's Hackable Backbone
The first time Scott Lunsford offered to hack into a nuclear power station,
he was told it would be impossible. There was no way, the plant's owners
claimed, that their critical components could be accessed from the Internet.
Lunsford, a researcher for IBM's Internet Security Systems, found otherwise.
"It turned out to be one of the easiest penetration tests I'd ever done," he
says. "By the first day, we had penetrated the network. Within a week, we
were controlling a nuclear power plant. I thought, 'Gosh. This is a big
problem.'"

11. India ranks 14th in phishing attacks
The rising graph of cyber crime in India has raised serious questions

these issues.

12. The Globe on Terror Goes Digital by Michael Geist
The Globe and Mail published an embarrassing feature story on the weekend
focusing on terror groups' use of the Internet and a "Canadian connection."
A story on terror group use of the Internet would have made for an
interesting (albeit unoriginal) story, so it appears that the Globe tried to
generate greater interest in the story by adding a Canadian connection. The
article begins with "Welcome to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia - pivotal battleground
in the global jihad."
...
First, just because the registrant information is not posted publicly on the
WHOIS database, does not mean that the information has not been collected.

14. New Paper Discusses Global City TLD's in the Public Interest by Tom
Lowenhaupt
"The Internet's impact on cities grows daily as it electronically enables
the meeting, movement, and exchange of people, ideas, products, and cultures
at a range and frequency never before possible, creating what Marshall
McLuhan called the 'global village'." So begins a paper in which Dr. Michael
Gurstein and I present a short review of the history of TLDs and the
negative effects their omission from the Internet's naming schema is having
on cities. We then identify 12 areas where city-TLDs will benefit Global
Cities if planned and developed in the public interest.

15. Intellectual Property Holders Press For Access To WHOIS Data
The seven-year-old battle over access to WHOIS data remains a stalemate this

favor privacy protections against organizations and law enforcement agencies
that favor data access to police intellectual property and to curtail
cybercrime. In a blog post on the Internet Governance Project's site, Milton
Mueller details the Final Outcomes Report of the WHOIS Working Group,
published on Tuesday, and inability of the various stakeholders to reach any
kind of consensus.
