4-day UN Internet forum ends with US control of core systems still at issue [AP]
A U.N.-sponsored Internet conference ended Thursday with little to show in closing the issue of U.S. control over how people around the world access e-mail and Web sites. With no concrete recommendations for action, the only certainty going forward is that any resentment about the American influence will only grow as more users from the developing world come online, changing the face of the global network.

The Rio IGF: The Center Does Not Hold? by Milton Mueller
The Rio IGF has been a great venue for raising ideas and fostering dialogue. But the managers of the Forum will have to address some severe structural problems during the next two years. The basic problem is that all of the action at the Forum has gravitated to the "edges" -- i.e., to participant-defined workshops and dynamic coalitions -- while the "core" plenary sessions have become hollow. They were mostly stilted, boring one-way communication affairs; the speakers were selected more for their lowest common denominator political acceptability than for their ability to advance important ideas. Worse, there is almost no common processing of ideas and common deliberation on what transpires at the edges. In fact, due to the competition for attention created by scheduling many workshops at the same time as the plenary sessions, the workshop programs attracted far more people than the plenary itself during the second and third days. The result is a
 decentered trade-show or academic conference-like atmosphere. One can sense growing frustration with this among a variety of parties.

Bringing Net Neutrality into a Global Forum by Milton Mueller
Milton Mueller is in Rio at the UN’s IGF. Yesterday, IGP’s new paper on Net Neutrality as a global principle for Internet governance generated heated discussion when it was presented at the annual symposium of the Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet). One might think, with some justification, that the world doesn’t need another paper about net neutrality. But it is the global focus of this one that makes a difference. The GigaNet conference proved that the world is ready to discuss and explore this principle, and to analyze its implications for global Internet policy. Here is a list of some of the tough questions faced:

ICANN speeds IDN ccTLDs
The likes of China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia are on the fast track to net domains that use their very own alphabets. This week, at the IGF in Rio de Janeiro, ICANN announced that it's cranking an effort to provide certain very important nations with "country code top-level domains" that use "internationalized domain names." In ICANN speak, these are known as IDN ccTLDs. But you can think of them as web addresses that uses non-Latin characters.

ICANN to Speed Up Development
Testing already under way for creation of domains in local-language script rather than in Latin characters, says ICANN official. ICANN, the worldwide nonprofit organization that regulates the Internet's domain name system, or DNS, has launched its campaign to provide internationalized country code top-level domains, or ccTLDs--those that don't use Latin characters--as soon as possible with the help of the Country Code Names Supporting Organization, an ICANN policy development body for ccTLD issues.

IGF sparks UK interest
The second meeting of the UN backed IGF event ended in Rio yesterday having made ground on key issues of diversity, openness and security, and could lead the way for a similar UK-based event. ... Key themes of the event this year were access and diversity – in particular how to get "the next billion online", and meeting the needs of different disabilities, according to Emily Taylor of .uk registry, Nominet. Security was also a major topic, especially in relation to issues of trust and confidence in online transactions, and much effort was made to create understanding of these issues between all stakeholders, she added.

At UN meet, worries about US Internet control, free flow of information
This year's UN-sponsored IGF has just wound down in Rio de Janeiro, and it's no surprise that plenty of other countries aren't thrilled about the US role in administering the Internet. That discontent has led to more calls for an independent, international authority to guide the growth of the 'Net. But not all of the governments who might be involved are thrilled about the free flow of information, and that, too, is causing concern.

NRO Report: "Continuing Cooperation"
The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has participated in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and related activities since the beginning, and it is a process to which we are strongly devoted. In response to the Tunis WSIS agenda, the NRO has released "Continuing Cooperation - The NRO's Role in Internet Governance". This report illustrates the many efforts the Regional Internet Registries undertake in order to maintain and develop the Internet and its unique characteristics. The report focuses on the major themes of the 2007 IGF: Access, Diversity, Openness, Security and Critical Internet Infrastructure. The report was distributed this week at the IGF in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Informal Survey on Critical Internet Resources by Paul Wilson, APNIC
During October 2007 I sent the following question to a number of email lists and groups: "For you as an Internet user, what is a 'Critical Internet resource'? Can you list your 'top three' in this category? There is a lot of talk today about 'critical internet resources' but not much agreement on what they are. I'm interested to know what people think is most critical to their use of the Internet. Thanks." I received around 90 responses, most providing a list of 3 items or issues regarded by the sender as critical. A very small number responded without a specific answer but with questions about the meaning of the question.

Janna Anderson: Where does the Internet go from here?
Every advance in connectedness -- from cart paths to shipping lanes to the Internet -- has good and bad consequences. The vast majority of people use networks in a positive way, but some pursue negative agendas. Spam, identity theft, online porn, cyber terrorism and cyber warfare are among the negative uses of the Internet. But there's another lurking danger to the Internet: the battle for control.

New ‘Cyber Paradise’ for Paedophiles and Racists?
The crackdown in eastern Europe and the United States on websites posting racist content or child pornography could expose Latin America to the risk of becoming a new "cyber paradise" for on-line paedophilia and racism, experts say. The warning was sounded at the United Nations-sponsored IGF in Rio de Janeiro, which has been discussing issues like security, access and diversity on the net this week. Many of the websites bearing illegal and harmful content were hosted by the Czech Republic. But after the clampdown they migrated to countries like Panama, according to Thiago Tavares, head of the non-governmental organisation (NGO) SaferNet Brasil.

U.N. conference ponders Internet's future [McClatchy]
When more than 1,700 technology experts from around the world envision the Internet's future, they see cars and household appliances that are online, wireless Internet networks in remote African villages and astronauts e-mailing one another from different corners of outer space. Such visions of the future were trumpeted at a landmark U.N. IGF to plan the next stages of one of the most revolutionary communication tools in history. Participants can't make binding decisions, but can lay the groundwork for future policy.

There are not 13 root servers by Kim Davies
I am at the UN IGF, being held this week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A recurring theme you can hear here is one that has vexed the technical community many times before — “Why are there 13 root servers?” This question is usually followed by questions like “Why are most of the root servers in the US?” So let’s dispel these myths. There are not 13 root servers.

Internet & ICTs for Social Justice and Development News
One of the themes discussed at the second IGF relates to something called the critical internet resources. Critical what? That’s what many people tried to figure out in Rio de Janeiro on November 14, starting with the speakers themselves. Even though there is no agreement on what critical internet resources refer to, most internet specialists would agree that they include the internet’s country-code top level domains such as .in (India), .ca (Canada) or .za (South Africa) and the IP addresses system. The sole administrator of this domain name system is called ICANN, a California-based non-profit acting as the ultimate regulator of the internet’s core components.

UN worries about bringing Web to third world
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST QUANGO, the United Nations, is worring its toothless head over the thorny issue of empowering citizens in undeveloped countries by giving them Web access. No matter that they have no food, clean water, education or medical care, the ability to buy and sell dust, ebola viruses and mosquitoes over Ebay will obviously cheer them up.

Reconciling the free flow of information with intellectual property law topped the agenda yesterday as the United Nations IGF, which has brought together 1,700 delegates from government, civil society and the private sector this week, continued its discussions in Rio de Janeiro. “For many outside this room, IP does not mean ‘Internet Protocol’ but ‘Intellectual Property’,” said Masanobu Katoh, Fujitsu’s Corporate Vice-President. Freedom of information and regulations could coexist, as shown by legislation and guidelines adopted by the United States Congress, the European Parliament and Japan.

Internet UNder Attack by Dana Gabriel
The United Nations control freaks seek to micro-manage all aspects of our lives, and this includes the Internet. Many have used the Internet as an instrument of truth to counter the spin, lies, and disinformation spewed by the mainstream media. That is not to say that everyone in the alternative media can be trusted, and furthermore, the Internet is also being used to spread government propaganda.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is still growing strongly, indicating the internet's expansion in terms of infrastructure, users, traffic and applications. But the annual survey of domain name servers on the public internet by Infoblox suggests that the global DNS is as vulnerable as ever. DNS servers map domain names to their specific IP address, directing internet inquiries to the appropriate location.

Chinese cyber-spies 'greatest threat' to US
Chinese espionage poses the "single greatest risk" to the American technology sector, according to a congressional advisory panel. In its annual report, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission accused Beijing of pursuing an aggressive spying program to acquire critical US technology and adopting “destructive” tactics, including cyber attacks, to target American infrastructure. “Chinese military strategies have embraced destructive warfare techniques, including the use of cyber attacks (which) if carried out strategically on a large scale could have catastrophic effects on the target countries’ critical infrastructure,” the panel reported.

Panel: China's Spying Poses Threat to U.S. Tech Secrets
China's extensive spying inside the United States is the greatest threat to the security of American technology secrets. Advances by the Chinese military are catching U.S. intelligence officials by surprise. And the Defense Department may be inadvertently outsourcing the manufacturing of key weapons and military equipment to factories in China. These are among the key findings released today by a bipartisan panel commissioned by Congress to study the economic and security relationship between the United States and China. The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, created by Congress in 2001, has been criticized in the past for taking a hawkish stance on China in its annual reports.

Chinese cyber strikes will be 'like WMD'
A US government panel specially created to warn of danger from China has warned of danger from China. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) says the People's Republic is brewing cyber network attacks which could cause "disruption and chaos" with the "magnitude of a weapon of mass destruction".

Finjan Reveals Hackers Are Abusing Trusted Domain Names [news release]
Finjan Inc., a leader in secure web gateway products, today announced that hackers and cyber-criminals are exploiting a loophole in the domain name registration process to infect visitors to legitimate websites and increase the life cycle of cyber-attacks. Attacks using this method typically involve a “copycat” domain name that is strikingly similar in spelling to the domains of legitimate sites. Leveraging the similarity to legitimate and frequently used domain names enables these attacks to go unnoticed by webmasters and security solution providers.

Attackers abusing trusted domain names
Researchers from Finjan's Malicious Code Research Center (MCRC) say hackers are using a loophole in the domain name registration process to circumvent Web site blockers and prolong the duration of their attacks.

Microsoft DNS bug long-known, familiar to researchers
The DNS cache poisoning bug that Microsoft Corp. patched last Tuesday stems from a flaw that has been known to researchers for 10 years or more, the two security firms credited with reporting the vulnerability said this week. Microsoft patched the Domain Name System (DNS) server included with Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 to fix what it called a spoofing flaw that could be exploited by identity thieves or malware authors to silently redirect users from intended Web destinations to malicious pretenders.

Judge allows Go Daddy time to answer lawsuit
A lawsuit alleging wrongdoing on the part of the Internet’s largest registrar of domain names will not end in a win for the plaintiff just because of mistakes made by the company’s in-house lawyer. Federal Judge Harry Barnes of the Western District of Arkansas agreed Friday morning to set aside an order for default judgment against GoDaddy in favor of the named plaintiff, Matthew McBride.

Internet exchange points should be encouraged for IPv6
Internet pioneer and TCP/IP co-developer Vint Cerf has made specific proposals to support the introduction of IPv6 at the second IGF in Rio de Janeiro. "Governments could consider subsidising the cost of exchange points which encourage connectivity via IPv6 addresses." This would allow full connectivity within the IPv6 space to be established more quickly, in parallel to the existing IPv4 address space. According to experts, such upgraded internet exchange points (the most well-known of which in Germany is DE-CIX) could also be used to improve the link between the two worlds, by having the translation between the two address spaces take place here.

Increasing the number of Internet exchanges is not sufficient to address problems in traffic flow
The Japanese Ministry of Information and Communication has recently published a report on Network Neutrality, which notes that simply increasing the number of Internet exchanges may not be enough to address Internet traffic flow problems. In Japan, Internet exchange (IX) points for ISP peering are concentrated in Tokyo and Osaka areas, with only a few IXs in local regions. In most cases, the local ISP routes its traffic through an IX located in Tokyo or Osaka. However, lines have a high cost burden (even when they are shared among multiple ISPs) and supply on backbone infrastructure is extremely tight.
