The United States prides itself as the guardian of free speech on and off the Internet. Countries such as China may censor the Internet, and otherwise-civilized nations such as Germany or France may attempt to block what they view as unacceptable material, but the United States of America likes to think of itself as a place that doesn’t censor people online. Unless of course you happen to own a foreign travel business that offers trips to Cuba. Under such circumstances, as Steve Marshall discovered, all bets are off. Steve Marshall is a British citizen living in Spain. For the past decade, he has operated an online travel agency that specializes in selling trips to Cuba to various European nationals. Marshall operated a number of Cuban-specific web sites, including several that focused specifically on the literary and historical aspects of Cuba, and maintained them in English, French, and Spanish. The Internet Archive has some of Marshall’s web material on file. The sites themselves don’t appear to have been particularly well-designed—both Flash and text ads abound—but there’s no evidence that Marshall failed to provide the services he advertised. According to the Department of the Treasury, however, Marshall and his business helped Americans evade the US embargo against Cuba. A 2004 DoT (Department of the Treasury) press release stated: "This travel provider is not only a generator of resources that the Cuban regime uses to oppress its people, but it also facilitates the evasion of U.S. sanction policy." The PR goes on to assert that Tour and Marketing International Ltd. (Marshall’s company) advertised itself as the number one agency for American travelers, claimed it could serve any traveler, and insisted that Americans interested in traveling to Cuba use the company’s online payment system. Marshall’s domain name registrar, eNom, is based in the US. It apparently didn’t learn that his company had been blacklisted for two and a half years. When it did, however, the registrar promptly shut down Marshall’s sites without notification and has since refused to release the domain names to him. Marshall has since rebuilt his business using a European registrar and the .net rather than the .com suffix, but his experience raises troubling questions. As previously noted, Marshall is a British citizen operating a business from Spain, with servers located in the Bahamas. He does not claim that no Americans ever visited Cuba, but he has stated that he was uninterested in marketing his services to the US. In this case, the Department of the Treasury was able to shut down his business without notification or negotiation of any sort. Even if he wanted to appeal the decision, Marshall has no organization to which he can appeal, save his registrar, which can simply claim to have been following government orders. If the US intends to continue presenting itself as the guardian of Internet rights, situations like this require a bit more delicacy. By effectively shutting down Marshall’s business, the United States has committed the censorship it condemns in other nations. Even worse, the Department of Treasury effectively shut down an international business without any type of due process. Both France and Germany followed a court process when investigating Yahoo for alleged improprieties, and the company in question (Yahoo) had the opportunity to respond to the charges in a court of law. Marshall was afforded no such luxury. While the Internet may be global in nature, foreign companies may very well limit their use of US registrars and hosting services out of concern that activities targeted at other countries could be shut down here.

According to the newest post on The Lowdown by Ron Jackson, the Internet Commerce Association has just released vital information that will help domain owners protest anti-domainer language in the controversial Snowe Bill. The ICA also posted information on how concerned Americans can get in touch with their respective senators to fight this bill. The ICA highly encourages citizens to utilize this information since the Senate is only in session for one more week before going into recess for the entire second half of March.

How ICANN will function following the expiry of its current Memorandum of Understanding with the US Department of Commerce is discussed in this article from IDG. ICANN has made some suggestions to the Department of Commerce including that it should become independent of the department when the current Joint Project Agreement (JPA) expires. Justifying this, ICANN says it has “made significant improvements in accountability, transparency, and other issues since the Commerce Department renewed the agreement in September 2006, said Paul Levins, ICANN’s executive officer and vice president of corporate affairs. ICANN’s goal after the Commerce Department agreement ends, he said, is to expand a global governance model that allows input from a broad range of Internet communities.

Registration of second level .cr domain names commenced on March 3. Registration of names at the second level is in addition to the existing .co.cr, .or.cr, .fi.cr, .ac.cr, .go.cr, .ed.cr and .sa.cr. Registrations at the second level are subject to their own policies and prices. For 90 days from March 3, present domain holders have the option of registering the same name at the second level. If there are two or more bodies wanting to register the same name, the eligible registrant who applies for the name first will be the successful registrant. More information in Spanish including policies and prices is available from the Internet Costa Rica website at www.nic.cr.

Register.com has filed a UDRP against another registrar, DomainIT for its use of Register.cc. Currently register.cc redirects to DomainIT’s main website. Domain Name Wire has looked at this dispute and notes it “is an interesting case on a couple grounds. First, it’s rare to see two ICANN-accredited registrars on opposing sides of a UDRP arbitration. Second, it’s a .cc domain, which is not a popular domain and not commonly disputed under UDRP.†Domain Name Wire has dug into the case and found register.cc was registered in 1997, two years before the earliest trademark filing they could find for either Register or Register.com. And why are they going after the domain name? “Like any corporation with a well known brand, we have a domain name branding program where we try to get all domain names that are representative of our trademark,†Register.com General Counsel Roni Jacobson told Domain Name Wire. She explained that the company owns many TLDs of the word “Registerâ€Â, including country code domains.

Open: 7 Mar 08 Closed: 28 Mar 08 Explanation: The GNSO Council is considering the issue of "domain tasting", a term used to describe the case when someone registers a domain name and then tests to see if the name has sufficient traffic to provide more income than the annual registration fee (usually through pay-per-click advertising). If the name is deemed sufficiently profitable, it is kept. If not, the current "add grace period" (AGP) – where domains can be returned within five days without cost – is used to return the domain at no net cost to the registrant. Recently there has been a significant increase in the number of domains registered and returned within the AGP. ICANN staff prepared an Issues Report in June 2007 and subsequently a GNSO working group published an Outcomes Report in October 2007. The GNSO Council decided on 31 October 2007 to launch a policy development process (PDP) on domain tasting. An Initial Report was produced for public comment, outlining the policy development process, possible actions that might be taken, and the arguments put forward for and against such actions. Public comments were incorporated into a draft Final Report (posted 8 February) for GNSO Council review and action. Members of the Council subsequently drafted this motion to curb domain tasting. It would prohibit any gTLD operator that has implemented an add grace period from offering a refund for any domain name deleted during the AGP that exceeds 10% of its net new registrations in that month, or fifty domain names, whichever is greater. An exemption may be sought for a particular month, upon the documented showing of extraordinary circumstances, as detailed in the motion. The GNSO Council will consider public comments and constituency impact statements regarding the draft motion and incorporate them into a further draft for Council consideration at its scheduled 17 April meeting. Is it clear to you what this comment period covers? Do you have all the information you need to respond?

A pornographic website exploiting the name of the WOMADelaide world music festival in Adelaide, Australia, has been removed reports The Advertiser. The website for womadelaide.com previously sold pornographic DVDs but now redirects surfers to the festival website womadelaide.com.au. The dispute appears to have been resolved amicably with lawyers for the music festival avoiding dispute resolution proceedings. Arts Projects Australia director Ian Scobie said they found out about the problem from a couple of people who "stumbled across" the offending website. "It came as a complete surprise that it happened," he told The Advertiser. "Then discovering that you are kind of held hostage because someone is masquerading as your organisation. It was a very graphic kind of site and it had quite a lot of explicit material that people could access." The original story is available from www.news.com.au/travel/story/0,26058,23323553-5014090,00.html.

People associated with the Republican National Committee (R.N.C.) is busy registering domain names such as cannotrustclinton.com and clintonisbad.com, having registered at least 25 similar names relating to Hillary Rodham Clinton reports the New York Times. “The day after Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses, the R.N.C. snapped up at least 20 domains related to his candidacy,†further reports the Times. “Some of them may signal the party’s future strategy: baracknotready.com and norealexperience.com. The party has also begun preemptively registering domains that could be used to attack John McCain, like mccainamigos.com, voteagainstmccain.com, flipflopmccain.com and hatemccain.com (ihatemccain.com was taken.)†On the Democrat side, the “Party and the campaigns have shown little of the verve and creativity of the R.N.C. The Obama campaign registered desperatehillaryattacks.com in December. The Clinton campaign registered votingpresent.com two days later, an apparent reference to Mr. Obama’s votes as a member of the Illinois legislature. The party has been focused more on the national convention, registering variations of denverdemconvention08.com in February, but so far apparently no domains related to Mr. McCain.†A list of domain names registered by the R.N.C. or registered using servers used by the committee in 2007 and 2008 are available on the New York Times story available at thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/06/rnc-snap-up-domain-names

Cyber Storm II commences this month involving and planned in close coordination with federal, state, local, and international governments, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In addition, private sector players from the Information Technology (IT), Transportation (Rail and Pipe), and Chemical sectors along with multiple Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) are scheduled to participate.
Cyber Storm exercises are prepared by the United States’ Department of Homeland Security. It is a biennial National Cyber Exercise whose goal is to examine the processes, procedures, tools, and organisational response to a multi-sector coordinated attack through, and on, the global cyber infrastructure.
The exercise has a number of objectives, these being:
examine the capabilities of participating organizations to prepare for, protect from, and respond to the potential effects of cyber attacks
exercise strategic decision making and interagency coordination of incident response(s) in accordance with national level policy and procedures
validate information sharing relationships and communications paths for the collection and dissemination of cyber incident situational awareness, response, and recovery information
examine means and processes through which to share sensitive information across boundaries and sectors, without compromising proprietary or national security interests.
One of the areas covered by Cyber Storm is the DNS. Security and the ability to be prepared for and protected from events such as a cyber attack is of paramount importance. The exercises are simulated and will not affect any live information networks. Cyber Storm divides participants into attackers and defenders over simulations that test national responsiveness to cyber attacks on IT systems and transportation, communications, and chemical infrastructure. More information on Cyber Storm II is available from www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/infosheet_CyberStormII.pdf while information on 2006’s Cyber Storm I is available from cryptome.org/cyberstorm.pdf. A news release from the Department of Homeland Security following Cyber Storm I is available from www.us-cert.gov/press_room/060210cyberstorm.html.

A New Zealand cybersquatter Jeff Twigge says he gave up the practice after reading “a passage in 1 Corinthians, chapter 6, from the Bible (King James version). ‘Extortioners’, listed among various kinds of people who would not inherit the kingdom of God, ‘leapt off the page,’" reports the Manawatu Standard. Previously Mr Twigge justified his cybersquatting “as modern-day Robin Hood behaviour.†Mr Twigge has stopped buying and selling domain names, a practice he feels has caused him to let down the Christian community. Well, it takes all sorts as they might say in Little Britain! The case causing Mr Twigge such angst involved the domain name ozjet.co.nz the airline OzJet wanted, and which Mr Twigge registered two days after the Australian airline announced it would start trans-Tasman flights. The process that led to Mr Twigge’s angst and change of heart was initially asking for NZ$5000, and then trying to get OzJet to fly a terminally ill child and his or her family to Dreamworld in Australia, all expenses paid. “A contrite Mr Twigge, of Palmerston North, said he raised money, which he then donated to charity, by buying and selling domain names.†To read the Manawatu Standard’s article, see stuff.co.nz/4429708a11.html.

The development of Global Internet Number Resource Policies is the subject of an MoU between ASO/NRO and ICANN. There are also specific ICANN Board Procedures for handling global policy proposals in this context. The Board procedures also state that the Board can request ICANN staff to undertake an “early awareness†tracking of proposals for global policies under development in the addressing community. At its meeting on 20 November 2007, the Board resolved to request such tracking of the development of a global policy proposal for allocation of remaining IPv4 address space, currently being discussed in the Regional Internet Registries, or RIRs. The status overview presented below is compiled in response to this request and will be timely updated as developments proceed, for information to ICANN entities and the wider community. Status Overview Originally, two slightly different global policy proposals were introduced for allocation of the remaining IPv4 address space: * A version (1) “Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Spaceâ€Â, first presented at LACNIC X in May 2007 * A version (2) “End Policy for IANA IPv4 allocations to RIRsâ€Â, first presented at APNIC 24 in September 2007 Both featured the same approach, distribution of an equal number N of /8 IPv4 address blocks to each RIR when the IANA free pool would reach the threshold value of 5xN, but differed in the proposed value of N, notably 2 or 1, respectively (although with N = 5 in the very first version). Due to their similarity, (1) and (2) were discussed in parallel in the RIRs and regarded essentially as one proposal, with a view to converging on a value for N. On 19 and 20 February 2008, the authors of (1) and (2) withdrew their respective proposals, as agreement had been reached for a unified proposal (3). The current proposal is thus: * Version (3) “Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Spaceâ€Â, first presented at APNIC 25 in February 2008 Although no consensus on the new proposal (3) was reached at APNIC 25, the authors will introduce the proposal for discussions in the next meetings of the other RIRs. If adopted by all the RIRs, the proposal will subsequently be handled by the NRO EC and the ASO AC according to their procedures before being submitted to the ICANN Board. The table below indicates the status within each RIR for the current proposal for remaining IPv4 address space. Hyperlinks are included for easy access. An additional table shows the history of previous proposals. It should be noted that other policy proposals have been put forward and are being discussed regarding IPv4 address space exhaustion, although only those mentioned above have been scoped as global policy proposals in the sense of the ASO MoU, i.e. focusing on address allocation from IANA to the RIRs, and recognized by the ASO AC as global policy proposals in that meaning. Status of current proposal (3) – for previous proposal history see separate table. Source: ICANN Announcement – March 6, 2008

ICANN has announced today that it has signed an exchange of letters with the country code top level domain (ccTLD) manager for .za-South Africa ZA DNA, and an accountability framework with the ccTLD manager for .az-Azerbaijan, IntraNS. The Accountability Framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLD managers can formalise their relationship with ICANN. The first is an Accountability Framework document that sets out the obligations of a ccTLD manager and ICANN. It also covers dispute resolution and termination and is designed for ccTLD managers requiring a formal document with ICANN. The second mechanism is an exchange of letters between ICANN and the ccTLD manager designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate. Signed accountability framework and exchange of letters documents can be found at http://www.icann.org/cctlds/agreements.html. Source: ICANN Announcement – March 6, 2008

Ask.com, once positioning itself as a search engine to rival Google, has changed plans and is instead targetting itself as a search engine for married women to find answers to questions about managing their lives. In making this change, it has laid off 40 people, or about 8% of its workforce. It saddens me to see this as Ask.com had some of the best search technology and was the most innovative of all the search engines.Ask.com says that the new focus will help energize the company by providing a clear focus and increase profits as married women are a prime advertising target. This seems like a good move for Ask.com – instead of fighting head to head with Google, they are instead concentrating on dominating a lucrative niche in which they already have mindshare and experience.
The new focus will also change the search engine landscape dramatically. Instead of four main search engines, now there are three. With Microsoft attempting to buy Yahoo!, this could reduce the number of major search engines to two.

There were almost 33 million new domain names registered in 2007 according to the fourth quarter 2007 Domain Name Industry Brief published by VeriSign. This brings the total of domain names registered to more than 153 million domain name registrations worldwide across all of the Top Level Domain Names (TLDs). This represents a 27 percent increase over the same quarter last year, and 5 percent growth over the third quarter of 2007. Of these registrations, the .com and .net adjusted base surpassed 80.4 million domain name registrations at the end of 2007. This represents a 24 percent increase year over year and a four percent increase quarter over quarter. The adjusted base grew by 3.5 million domain names in the fourth quarter and 15.4 million over the entire year. New .com and .net domain name registrations were added at an average of 2.5 million per month in the fourth quarter 2007 for a total of 7.5 million new registrations. Country Code Top Level Domain Name registrations (ccTLDs) totaled more than 58 million, a 33 percent increase from 2006 and a six percent increase from the third quarter of 2007. The composition of the domain name industry and rank order in terms of base size remained relatively constant. To cope with the increasing demand for domain names, VeriSign continues to operate the infrastructure required, processing peak loads of more than 33 billion DNS queries per day. Each query represents an instance of an Internet user accessing a Web site or sending email. In the latest Domain Name Industry Brief there is also a spotlight on IPv6. “The widespread adoption of Internet-enabled wireless devices and gaming consoles has created a growing demand for larger IP address space,†said Raynor Dahlquist, senior vice president of Naming Services at VeriSign. “To stay ahead of this demand, VeriSign recently took steps to enable the A and J root servers for IPv6.†To read the 2007 fourth quarter Domain Name Industry Brief, as well as previous reports, see www.verisign.com/domainbrief.

“US Senator Olympia Snowe introduced S. 2661, the “Anti-Phishing Consumer Protection Act of 2008†(APCPA). The bill was also cosponsored by Senators Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Ted Stevens (R-AK). The bill threatens to derail domain names as we know them. The bill seems to be hidden under the “Anti-Phishing†title but contains provisions that are largely unrelated to these objectives and that radically and unnecessarily expand the rights of trademark owners to essentially provide them with monopoly rights on registered trademarks to the detriment of millions of individuals and businesses engaged in lawful and legitimate Internet commerce.
