discussion by Kieren McCarthy
ICANN is not responsible in any way for the expansion or
promotion of the Internet as a network but inevitably the
organisation is asked what it can do, and philosophically at
least, we are dedicated to ensuring the network’s many
benefits are enjoyed by as many people around the globe as
possible. It is also in our interests to make sure that the
organisation is in a position to effectively engage the
“next billion users”.

Your Internet: Open or Closed?
During a Friday briefing in the chambers of the House

whether the Internet will be open, neutral and accessible to
all or a closed network -- controlled by a handful of
gatekeepers with monopoly tendencies.

Why are our Internet lines in danger of jamming up? One way
of looking at it is this: ISPs have been serving us an

because they've had more food than they knew what to do with
and we've enjoyed the simplicity of a flat price and our

ICANN Concludes Successful India Meeting
ICANN put the wrap on its 31st International Public Meeting
in New Delhi today after five days of discussions about the
future of the Internet. "These meetings are vital to
ICANN's model of bottom-up, consensus driven policy making
in action," said Peter Dengate Thrush, ICANN's Board
Chairman. A total of 720 participants from 76 countries,
including 290 participants from the host country India, took
part in the meeting, and helped ICANN move forward on a
number of discussions.

As ICANN calls a close to its meeting this week in Delhi, we
can look back at the major happenings there. domain name
front running, domain tasting and Internationalised Domain

discussed. The meeting was attended by 720 participants from
76 countries, including 290 participants from the host

ICANN panel questions Network Solutions on frontrunning by
Jacqui Cheng
ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) was
unable to find a single shred of evidence on domain name
frontrunning as a result of the organization's call for
community feedback last October. The committee met last week
in New Delhi, India, to discuss SSAC's recent report on the
topic, which found that practically all instances that users
had perceived to be domain name frontrunning were either
just misunderstandings about how domain registrations work
or mere coincidence. As a result, the committee took Network
Solutions to task for its own controversial practices that
the company claims are meant to protect users from
frontrunning. SSAC demanded further evidence to support the
reasoning behind the company's actions.

Panel: No evidence of domain snatching [AP]
An Internet committee investigating suspicious domain name
transactions has found no evidence that insider information
is being used to snatch desired Internet addresses to make
money off the individual or business that actually wants to
register them. The committee said the 120 claims of
"domain name front running" it reviewed generally
resulted from misunderstandings about how the domain name
industry works.

Non-English domains still unsettled [AP]
Weeklong discussions in India about the creation of online
domain names entirely in languages other than English led to
greater understanding but no major decisions, the chief
executive of the Internet's key oversight agency said
Friday. At issue is a proposed "fast-track"
mechanism for specific countries to get non-English suffixes
-- the ".com" part of Internet addresses. For
example, many Internet users in China would like to see a
Chinese-character equivalent of the ".cn" suffix.

No More Tasting: It’s a Bad Year To Be a Registrar
The companies that handle domain registrations have built
businesses around hosting, domain speculation and wholesale
billing. Domain squatters, meanwhile, make millions with the
right URL. But despite the huge growth of Internet sites and
the brave face they put on, registrars face hard times.
Regulatory changes, price increases and free hosting
offerings from Google mean the future looks rough.

Kapil Dev, legendary former Indian cricket captain, has

cricket mad India, this will give great publicity to the

having registered them, although one would think if he

Registrant View on Domain Typo Tool by Jay Westerdal
We have a brand new tool! We just released “Registrant
View” on Typo domains. Our current view on the typo tool
only showed what typos existed, our new view now shows who
owns them rather then having to click through to view the
owner’s name and then separately track the results in
excel. It literally takes hours to perform that step
manually. Our users have been asking for more transparency
and easier access to typo reports which don’t require so
much manual work.

Comments on an IP Address Trading Market by Dan Campbell
With IPv4 addresses becoming scarcer, there has been talk
that a trading market will develop. The idea is that those
holding addresses they do not really need will sell them for
a profit. More alarming is that there have been a few
articles about how the Regional Internet Registries (RIR)
are contemplating creating such a market so that they can
regulate it, conceding that it will happen anyway and taking
the "if you can't be 'em, join 'em" attitude. This
is all a bit disturbing. Maybe I'm naïve, but it's a little
unclear to me how an unsanctioned trading market could
really operate without the RIRs at least being aware.

Domain-Tasting: die Abschaffung der Erstattung von
Registrierungsgebühren soll den Anreiz stoppen,

ICANN: in arrivo i domini .exe e .jpg?
L'ICANN è prossima alla attivazione di una nuova policy
riguardante i domini di primo livello (TLD, top level domain
- le stringhe come ".it" e ".com") e sta
risolvendo i problemi tecnici che potrebbero presentarsi una
volta avviata la fase di applicazione che verrà aperta più
avanti nel corso dell'anno.

Avremo anche domini .exe o .mp3?
L'ICANN valuta la possibilità di introdurre nuovi domini di
primo livello che faccino riferimento alla estensioni dei
file.
