4. Short Domain Names Threatened by Proposed Policy on IGO Dispute
Resolution Procedure by George Kirikos

"ICANN staff has published a draft report on dispute resolution procedures
for IGO (inter-governmental organization) domain names" writes George
Kirikos. "This proposal has deep flaws and should be rejected by the
community, as it does not have the balance and protection of registrant
rights present in the existing UDRP." George believes "that in the proposed
policy, the domain registrant (respondent) has much weaker protection
compared to the UDRP because the complainant need only prove a single
element is present." George concludes, "this draft policy is very poorly
written (unless you're a covetous IGO), and threatens to permit mass reverse
hijacking of short domain names, with limited recourse." He proposes "at a
minimum that the draft policy be amended to compel the complainant to prove
bad faith registration AND use of the domain name, like the UDRP, and to
permit the respondent to create an affirmative defense that they do have
their own legitimate rights or interest in the domain name. This would add
balance to the policy, and limit the ability of reverse domain name
hijacking to occur. With the use of appropriate Sunrise procedures for new
TLDs, the need for any specific policy for IGOs is lessened."

5. Local ".city" TLDs as an Opportunity for City Portals by Dirk
Krischenowski

Dirk Krischenowski of dotBerlin writes about what is a city TLD and the
benefits of establishing one in this recent article. Dirk writes, ".city
domains represent an identity for every single resident of a city, for their
companies and organisations. The .city domains reach the entire community,
out to the most remote members, opening up a whole range of opportunities
for every individual to participate, to make their own contribution and to
join in social networking." While there are city portals, using
City.comdomains, Dirk says these are limited, and often packed with so
much
information it is difficult to find what you are looking for. However, a
City.com domain and .City TLD can act to complement each other, benefiting
both.

18. Griping, with an audience: Malcontents criticize companies online

This article in the International Herald Tribune, while about people
complaining through setting up "gripe" websites concludes with, "Good
proactive plays can include registering gripe domain names as well as
personalized e-mail addresses. Registering common misspellings as well as
negative domain names is a good precaution as is covering tags including
.biz and .org. Costs are minimal, some lower than $50 a year. Companies that
sell products or services should trademark their names to prevent others
from using then without authorization."

19. Cybersquatters Threaten Consumers and Harm Businesses [news release]

The growing threat of cybersquatters has resulted in the International
Trademark Association (INTA) issuing a warning on behalf of its members to
the public, alerting them to the growing threat of domain name
cybersquatters who deliberately mislead consumers and defraud online
businesses via this news release. The news release alerts INTA members to
what is cybersquatting, the techniques used by cybersquatters and the extent
of the problem.

i. Western Sahara dispute at turning point, Morocco tells UN [news release]

The issue of Western Sahara is witnessing an "historical turning point," the
Foreign Minister of Morocco said today, referring to the Non-Self-Governing
Territory as "Moroccan Sahara" and advocating a settlement based on an
autonomy proposal put forward by the country's Government.

1. Microsoft-loving (former) security czar calls for closed internet

Richard Clarke, the man who served President Bush as a special adviser for
cyber security, has a five-point plan for saving the internet. Speaking at a
Santa Clara University conference dedicated to "trust online," Clarke called
the net "a place of chaos in many ways, a place of crime in many ways," but
laid out several means of righting the ship, including biometric IDs,
government regulation, and an industry wide standard for secure software. He
even embraces the idea of a closed internet - which seems to have sparked a
death threat from net pioneer Vint Cerf.

2. Cerf on the future of the Net

More than 30 years ago, Vint Cerf and colleague Robert Kahn - performing
research sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency -
created the core standards that allow computers across the globe to link
together. ... Cerf spoke with Government Technology at Google's Washington,
D.C., offices. During the hour-long conversation, Cerf discussed numerous
issues that will shape the Internet's future, including Net neutrality,
municipal wireless projects and mobile connectivity.

3. How to Trace a DDOS Attack

At most any time of the day, there's a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS)
attack underway somewhere on the Internet. Yes, it's still true, despite
reports that some ISPs have experienced fewer DDOS attacks overall during
the last six months. It's a matter of quality, not quantity: "When DDOSes do
occur, they are done with much greater purpose than they used to be," says
Rodney Joffe, senior vice president and senior technologist for Neustar.
"They are usually to obscure what's [really] happening in the background."

It has been brought back into the public eye again after being buried in the

from the dead as part of a larger argument over rules for how much
discretion will be exercised in accepting or denying applications.

5. Local ".city" TLDs as an Opportunity for City Portals by Dirk
Krischenowski

One of the most frequently asked question when it comes to the discussion
about a city top-level domain ".city" (such as .london, .berlin or .nyc) is
what .city means to the already established official city portal (such as
London.gov.uk, Berlin.de, NYC.gov or in general City.com). This article

If you are a trademark owner or represent one, you have almost certainly
received numerous notifications that the .ASIA sunrise period opens October
9, 2007. Most of these notifications are likely solicitations from various
service providers designed to persuade you or your client to register .ASIA
domain names. This note provides a quick overview of .ASIA so that you or
your clients can make an informed decision whether or not to take advantage
of the .ASIA sunrise period.

domain names in the new '.asia' top-level domain (TLD), prior to a general
release of .asia names in 2008. The domain space will open in several
phases, offering opportunities in turn to government entities, owners of
marks currently in use, owners of unused and newer marks, and the general
public.

15. ph: Domain prices should go down, not up

The decision last April by Verisign to raise the fee for both .com and .net
domain names hardly created a fuzz in the online community presumably

effect to those who have conscientiously followed the oppressive way in
which a private company has managed th .ph ccTLD.

18. Griping, with an audience: Malcontents criticize companies online

As the power of the Internet grows, businesses small and large find
themselves confounded by disenchanted employees, suppliers and competitors
who find fertile ground to air grievances online. Armed with little more
than a Web connection and keyboard, these detractors can irritate, via
scathing reviews, or cause serious business problems by using online message
boards, or even disclose company secrets and spread rumors of unethical
behavior. They also might start a gripe site or register a Web address in
another person's name.

20. Bodog Biting back

Lawsuits can frighten, embarrass and ruin. But for Canadian-born Calvin
Ayre, they can be marketing opportunities. The 46-year-old founder of Bodog
Entertainment Group, which has expanded from online gaming into music and
televised fighting, is in the middle of a patent dispute that has so far
seen Nevada and Washington courts strip Bodog of its domain names, order it
to pay millions in fines, and demand that Antigua-based Ayre testify in the
United States next month about his company's assets.

28. Rumor: AOL to turn Wow.com into 'World of Warcraft' social network by

I'm a smidgen skeptical of this rumor, if only because it seems so darn

have found a use for its Wow.com domain, which it acquired in 1998 as part

29. The art of the dotcom mark

... The ever-evolving market-place has thrown up many new challenges.
Especially when it comes to domain availability. It's said that all the good
dot.com and dot.co.za names have already been snapped up. Which isn't
surprising when you think about the rate at which new domain names are
registered globally every day. And which causes problems for established
companies that might not have had the foresight to register their names and
are now forced to change their names because other companies have registered
the names! These companies then have to opt for a dot.biz or
dot.netaddress. But we all know which address is really foremost in
people's minds
... (When you developed a logo "in the olden days", foresight meant having a
logo with a lifespan of 15 to 20 years!)
