Editorial: Democracy and the Web
Users of the Internet take for granted their ability to access all Web sites on an equal basis. That could change, however, if Internet service providers started discriminating among content, to make more money or to suppress ideas they do not like. A new “net neutrality” bill has been introduced in the House, which would prohibit this sort of content discrimination. Congress has delayed on this important issue too long and should pass net neutrality legislation now.

ICANN sends notice of breach to registrar for failing to comply with the UDRP
ICANN has sent a notice of breach to the registrar Red Register Inc. for failure to comply with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (”UDRP”). The registrar holds close to 27,000 domains and apparently failed to respond and implement UDRP decisions despite requests by ICANN and the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”).

ICANN Sends Notice of Breach to Registrar
ICANN sent a notice of breach to ICANN-accredited registrar Red Register, Inc. based on Red Register, Inc.'s failure to comply with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"). Specifically, Red Register failed to comply with UDRP Rule 16(a) and paragraph 4(k) of the UDRP despite repeated requests by ICANN and the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”). These rules require registrars to communicate plans to implement UDRP Provider decisions and implement those decisions.

Ghosts of Root Servers Past by David Conrad
As noticed by some in the Internet network operations community, at the beginning of May an odd event occurred as ICANN ended DNS service on the IP address formerly associated with L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET (”L-root”). Specifically, as ICANN turned off the DNS service at the address formerly used by the L-root, 198.32.64.12 (and the routing announcement by ICANN for 198.32.64.0/24), DNS root queries sent to that address instead of the new L-root address (199.7.83.42) continued to be answered.

Tool Helps Internet Master Top-level Domains
At the request of a worldwide Internet organization, a computer scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed an algorithm that may guide applicants in proposing new "top-level domains"--the last part of an Internet address, such as .com, that people type in navigating the Web. As new top-level domains are added to the familiar .com, .info and .net, the algorithm* checks whether the newly proposed name is confusingly similar to existing ones by looking for visual likenesses in its appearance.

Identity Theft of Root Name Servers, Reason Unknown by Earl Zmijewski
There have been a number of attacks on the root name servers over the years, and much written on the topic. (A few references are here, here and here.) Even if you don’t know exactly what these servers do, you can’t help but figure they’re important when the US government says it is prepared to launch a military counterattack in response to cyber-attacks on them.

OECD mahnt zu Umstieg auf IPv6 [news release]
Die OECD gestern, Donnerstag, einen Report veröffentlicht, der dringend eine Zusammenarbeit von Regierungen und Wirtschaft zur Sicherung der Zukunft der Internet-Wirtschaft einmahnt. Hintergrund ist, dass der aktuell genutzt IPv4-Adressraum (Internet Protocol version 4) für die Kommmunikation der Computer im Internet bereits zu beinahe 85 Prozent erschöpft ist und nach aktuellen Schätzungen bereits 2011 aufgebraucht sein könnte. Die Lösung, so der OECD-Report, ist der Umstieg auf den IPv4-Nachfolger IPv6, der den verfügbaren Adressraum dramatisch erweitert.
