Researchers Map the Internet [AP]
It took two months and nearly 3 billion electronic probes for researchers to create a map of the Internet. Now comes the task of making sense of their data - and figuring out what they missed. The Internet census comes from the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute in Marina del Rey, Calif. Over two months, ISI computers sent queries to about 2.8 billion numeric "Internet Protocol," or IP, addresses that identify individual computers on the Internet. Replies came from about 187 million of the IP addresses, and researchers used that data to map out where computers exist on the Internet.

On Its Way: One of the Biggest Changes to the Internet
ICANN will launch an evaluation of Internationalized Domain Names next week that will allow Internet users to test top-level domains in 11 languages. “This evaluation represents ICANN’s most important step so far towards the full implementation of Internationalized Domain Names. This will be one of the biggest changes to the Internet since it was created,” said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN’s President and CEO. “ICANN needs the assistance of users and application developers to make this evaluation a success. When the evaluation pages come online next week, we need everyone to get in there and see how the addresses display and see how links to IDNs work in their programs. In short, we need them to get in and push it to its limits.”

A Script for Every Surfer
Is the World Wide Web truly worldwide? Depends whom you ask. Since the Internet began, the 70 percent of the world that doesn't speak English has argued that the Web is inaccessible. So next week the nonprofit group contracted by the U.S. government to run the Internet will begin testing domain names in other languages.

The Internet Goes Polyglot
You won't have noticed, but yesterday the internet's plumbing underwent one of its most fundamental changes in 20 years. The domain name system now supports 11 non-English languages, for the first time in their native non-Roman scripts. ICANN on Tuesday morning added the TLD “.test” in Arabic, Persian, Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Japanese, Tamil and two flavors of Chinese, to the DNS's root servers.

We *are* listening to you - the proof! by Kieren McCarthy
One of the most important ways for ICANN to be both transparent and accountable is the public comment period. ICANN is very unusual as an organisation in that all of its work - even when in draft form - is put out for public review. Unfortunately that review system has been under-used for years. And so we have been trying for several months to make the process simpler, easier and more effective. We produced a set of Consulting Principles to make it clear what the system is, and a single public comment webpage to make it extremely easy to see what was going on at any given time. This has, we are very pleased to note, caused a jump in the quantity and quality of comments.

NSA's Lucky Break: How the U.S. Became Switchboard to the World
A lucky coincidence of economics is responsible for routing much of the world's internet and telephone traffic through switching points in the United States, where, under legislation introduced this week, the U.S. National Security Agency will be free to continue tapping it. Leading House Democrats introduced the so-called RESTORE Act Tuesday that allows the nation's spies to maintain permanent eavesdropping stations inside United States switching centers. Telecom and internet experts interviewed by Wired News say the bill will give the NSA legal access to a torrent of foreign phone calls and internet traffic that travels through American soil on its way someplace else. But contrary to recent assertions by Bush administration officials, the amount of international traffic entering the United States is dropping, not increasing, experts say.

Gemütlicher Start für .asia-Domain
Nach einem schnellen Endspurt zum Start ihrer Registry ist die neue Adresszone .asia heute gemütlich gestartet – zumindest in Deutschland. Zwar bieten eine Reihe deutscher Registrare die neuen Adressen bereits in der heute gestarteten Sunrise-Phase an. Da es aber vorerst nicht nach dem "First-Come-First-Serve"-Prinzip geht, sondern die bis 30. Oktober einlaufenden Registrierungen von Markeninhabern gleich behandelt werden, ließen sich viele Registrare Zeit. Manch ein Anbieter – wie der US-Hoster Godaddy – schaffte es ohnehin nur auf den letzten Drücker, die Akkreditierung bei der für die Adresszone verantwortlich zeichnenden DotAsia Organisation Ltd. zu bekommen.
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/97145

ICANN testet nicht-englische Adresszonen
Gestern wurden elf Versionen der Adresse .test in die Rootzone eingefügt, und zwar .test auf Arabisch, Persisch, Russisch, Hindi, Griechisch, Koreanisch, Hebräisch, Japanisch, in Tamil und in klassischem und modernem Chinesisch. Ab dem kommenden Montag werden dann in all diesen Sprachen "example.test"-Wikiseiten online erreichbar sein. Die Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) ruft im Zuge der von ihr gestarteten Testphase Nutzer aus aller Welt auf, die Seiten zu testen. Die ICANN spricht von einer der größten Veränderungen im Internet.
