Resolution Procedure by George Kirikos</span></font>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"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."</span></font></p>

for City Portals by Dirk Krischenowski</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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 <a href="http://City.com">City.com</a> domains, Dirk
says these are limited, and often packed with so much information it is
difficult to find what you are looking for. However, a <a href="http://City.com">City.com</a> domain and
.City TLD can act to complement each other, benefiting both.</span></font></p>

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."</span></font></p>

reports that some ISPs have experienced fewer DDOS attacks overall during the

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."</span></font></p>

themselves confounded by disenchanted employees, suppliers and competitors who
find fertile ground to air grievances online. Armed with little more than a Web

or cause serious business problems by using online message boards, or even
disclose company secrets and spread rumors of unethical behavior. They also

Ayre, they can be marketing opportunities. The 46-year-old founder of Bodog

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.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">... 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
<a href="http://dot.com">dot.com</a> and <a href="http://dot.co.za">dot.co.za</a> 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 <a href="http://dot.biz">dot.biz</a> or <a href="http://dot.net">dot.net</a> address. 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!)</span></font></p>
