WHOIS stays as is for now
A committee of ICANN has decided to leave the WHOIS database
as it is, at least for now. The committee, which has been
discussing changes to the WHOIS database for seven years,
voted 17-7 yesterday to continue studying the issue. The
committee, called the Generic Names Supporting Organization,
also voted 17-7 against a proposal that would have allowed
"natural persons," people who register domain
names for purposes other than conducting business over the
Internet, to list the contact information of designated
third parties in the WHOIS database, rather than their own.

Whois reform: ICANN says let's run more tests
Quick, people: what takes seven years? Biblical plagues?
Itches? If you guessed an ICANN policy development process -
that's a PDP to you, luddite - you are correct. ICANN today
officially cut off the oxygen to its Whois reform PDP after
seven years in favor of... well, no one's quite sure, yet.

The Sleeper Issue in Los Angeles by Milton Mueller
Amidst all the drama surrounding ICANN’s Los Angeles
meeting (Vint Cerf’s exit from the ICANN Board, protests
over the free expression implications of its new gTLD
policy, the Whois-privacy debate and steps toward new
multilingual domain names) an important signal about the
future of ICANN was almost lost in the shuffle. The U.S.
Commerce Department announced a full-scale, public review of
the global Internet governance regime’s status. Interested
parties have until 15 February 2008 to submit their
comments. This initiative must be perceived in combination
with renewed signs of “enhanced cooperation” – the
WSIS-inspired code words for European demands that the U.S.
accommodate their concerns about unilateral U.S. control of
the Internet’s root. Together it faintly signals some kind
of movement on the thorniest issue in global internet
governance. Movement in exactly which direction remains
unclear, but pressure from BRIC countries in the UN
Internet Governance Forum certainly plays role in it.

Hallowe'en story: the Whois Monster Mask Slips Off by Milton
Mueller
ICANN's GNSO Council stumbled and bumbled its way to a
nonresolution of the Whois privacy controversy today
(Wednesday, All Hallows Eve). On the surface, nothing
changed. Despite ICANN's inertia, however, the "status
quo" Whois is gradually being eroded by a combination
of market forces, which allow registrants to buy a modicum
of privacy protection from registrars, and the ongoing
threat of legal assaults on Whois from outside the United
States. A growing number of ccTLDs and gTLDs can be expected
to force ICANN to adjust its Whois requirements to the data
protection laws of other countries, the most current example
being the TELNIC case. This means that the status quo
equilibrium left in place by ICANN's inability to act is
tilting slowly in favor of privacy. At the same time, law
enforcement and takedown measures are taking new directions,
pioneered by the Anti-Phishing Working Group, that also work
outside the ICANN process.

Giant head of I-CANN, Vint Cerf angered by travelers
It was reported today in Los Angeles that four travelers and

kept putting them off. The travelers then became upset and
broke through security demanding to see him.

Names for Cities and Regions by Dirk Krischenowski
The majority of private Internet users in Germany favour the

survey that was commissioned by eco Verband der deutschen

Techie uses cybersquatting to tempt Google [TechWorld]
Cybersquatting is not something that sounds like a fast
track to a better job, but that is precisely what a German
techie decided to do in order to get noticed by search giant
Google Inc. It has been reported on various blog sites that
27-year-old Cologne-based Sebastian Klein decided to
register a variety of Google-related domains, where he
posted an open letter to the company in several languages
making it clear that he would relinquish the domains only if
offered a job.

Apple goes after sites using the iPhone trademark in their

Remember way back in May (I know, I’ve slept since then

MYiPhone to MYiTablet? This was prompted by a brief meeting
our own Vincent had with Steve Jobs where he was told to
change the name because Apple has “a team of lawyers to go
after that kind of stuff.” We tried to warn the other
sites using the iPhone name to get out while the getting was
good. Those of you that didn’t heed our warning are likely

HuLu Not In UGC; LuLu Loses Prelim
Lulu assists in self-publishing content, including
user-generated content (UGC) in video form. Hulu is the
much-discussed joint venture between NBC and Fox that will
distribute video content online. The venture had filed a
trademark application covering a broad array of services,
that could include the distribution of video UGC.
Additionally, Hulu has sometimes been described as a
potential competitor of YouTube, and that may give rise to
the perception that Hulu would distribute UGC.

Més de 100 persones ja han guanyat un llibre amb l'estalvi
de pantalla "Mots amb cara i ulls" que puntCAT va
fer amb motiu de la Fira de Frankfurt. L'estalvi de
pantalla, descarregat hores d'ara més de 1200 cops, forma
combinacions amb les cares d'alguns escriptors i quan es
forma una cara sencera, es pot guanyar un llibre signat per
l'autor. Instal·leu-vos-el i guanyeu ! Aquest projecte no
hagués estat possible sense l'amable col·laboració dels
escriptors i les editorials que participen, i els en volem
donar les gràcies. Aquí trobareu la nota de premsa
enviada, i aquí la llista de les editorials que ja fan
servir el .cat com a domini principal.
