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

<br>> Germany and .cn<br>> for China. But not all codes are so obvious, such as .lk for<br>> Sri Lanka or<br>> .za for South Africa. That's where a new map from Byte Level<br>> Research comes<br>> in handy. Their Map of the World Wide Web includes 180 of the
<br>> 250 county<br>> codes currently in use, covering most United Nations<br>> countries. Each<br>> two-digit code is aligned over the country it represents. And<br>> each world<br>> region is color coded with the legend below for quick and easy

Wow.com</a> into 'World of Warcraft' social<br>> network by<br>> Caroline McCarthy<br>><br>> I'm a smidgen skeptical of this rumor, if only because it<br>> seems so darn<br>> obvious: TechCrunch reported on Tuesday morning that Time
<br>> Warner's AOL may<br>> have found a use for its <a href="http://Wow.com">Wow.com</a> domain, which it acquired in<br>> 1998 as part<br>> of the offal of what had once been CompuServe.<br>><br>>

<br>> challenges.<br>> Especially when it comes to domain availability. It's said<br>> that all the good<br>> <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.
<br>> Which isn't<br>> surprising when you think about the rate at which new domain<br>> names are<br>> registered globally every day. And which causes problems for<br>> established<br>> companies that might not have had the foresight to register
<br>> their names and<br>> are now forced to change their names because other companies<br>> have registered<br>> the names! These companies then have to opt for a <a href="http://dot.biz">dot.biz</a> or<br>>
dot.netaddress. But we all know which address is really<br>> foremost in<br>> people's minds<br>> ... (When you developed a logo "in the olden days", foresight<br>> meant having a<br>> logo with a lifespan of 15 to 20 years!)
