The Insurgence of a Fraudulent Domain Name Solicitation Scheme in Various ccTLDs by Alisa C. Key, counsel at Tysons Corner
"Mark Jones is attempting to register your company's mark as a keyword and domain name for , , and , and we thought you should know. We would rather you register it with us instead. This is urgent and we need your response by April 1, 2008." In the past couple of months, we have been barraged with emails from somewhat frantic clients who have received a version of this bulk email solicitation. No, this is not an April Fool's Day joke gone bad, but it certainly could be.

Follow-up to last week’s ICANN decisions - New TLDs, a Good Idea?
As previously reported, ICANN announced a number of significant decisions last week at it’s meeting in Paris. For most, the most notable of these was the announcement ICANN will allow new gTLDs. Some of the press think this is a significant and great idea. Others, probably with trademark lawyers or representative bodies whispering in their ears, think the decision is nigh on calamitous.

How the Internet is Changing for Businesses
Last week, ICANN, the organization that oversees the Internet, approved a plan to create a nearly unlimited number of new Web addresses. The plan works by opening up so-called top-level domains – the familiar suffixes like “.com” at the end of Web site names – to just about any letter combination a business, civic group, or individual wishes to apply for. We’ve spent the last few days talking to people about the decision. Here are some of the things we’re hearing:
http://blogs.wsj.com/biztech/2008/06/30/how-the-internet-is-changing-for-businesses/
Work Remains For ICANN’s New Top Level Internet Domains
ICANN announced the “biggest extension of the DNS in 40 years” after its decision last week to finish implementation of a new policy for introducing new TLDs.
http://www.ip-watch.org/weblog/index.php?p=1126
New rules unleash registry boom
THE world's peak internet regulation authority has created a boom for the registry business by establishing an unlimited number of generic top-level domains, but it has also created a regulatory quagmire.

ICANN approves new gTLDs
The existence of conflicting IP rights will be one of four criteria that can be used to challenge applications for new generic top-level domains, under plans agreed by ICANN this week

ICANN targets domain tasters
At its meeting on Thursday, the ICANN Board approved two proposals by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council.

New Top-Level Internet Domains Won't Impact Most Firms
The creation by ICANN of additional generic top-level Internet domains will offer value in some instances. But Gartner expects classic extensions like ".com" to continue to dominate overwhelmingly in the marketplace.

CADNA Unhappy With ICANN Meeting Outcomes
Not everyone is happy with ICANN's decision last week that could lead to a lot more TLDs. The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) is dead against such a move, saying it could lead to as many as 300 new gTLDs in 2009. CADNA has called the decision "drastic" and that the decision was made "despite opposition by many leading brand owners at the ICANN meeting". Well, as if CADNA is the only interested party in this decision.

CADNA's Paris Forum: Brand Owners Working Together to Curb Domain Name Abuses and Improve the Internet [news release]
This past week, the 3rd Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) international domain abuse forum was held in Paris to coincide with one of the most contested ICANN meetings in years. Brands from around the world gathered at the CADNA forum with academic and business leaders to discuss the future of the domain name space and what can be done to improve the landscape for consumers and brand owners alike.

The Domain Blast
ICANN's move to open up the process of assigning top-level domain names creates a potential flood of activity and confusion that will leave even established players behind if they don't act quickly. Without the limitations on domain naming, writes columnist Naseem Javed, creative domain namers could overtake the Web.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/63654.html
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/The-Domain-Blast-63654.html
Opening up domain names to end in any word and be created in any language will only create confusion, fraud, and phishing
Last week ICANN approved a massive change to the Internet's address system. Companies, organizations and countries can now apply for domain names that end in pretty much anything. www.fastcompany.com could become www.fastcompany.magazine and www.parishilton.com could become www.parishilton.paris. Right now, domain names are restricted to about 20 suffixes -- .com (for companies), .org (for organizations) and identifying labels for countries like .uk.

ICANN Board Resolution Kills Domain Tasting
ICANN logoIn an email sent to domain name registrars this evening, ICANN announced a new resolution approved by the ICANN board, effectively ending domain name tasting.
http://www.domainnamenews.com/miscellaneous/icann-board-resolution-kills-domain-tasting/1689
ICANN Fee Rule Change Won’t End Domain Tasting, Frontrunning
ICANN’s recent rule change will have mixed results. ICANN recently moved a step further to changing how it handles refunds for domain names in conjunction with the registry. Currently, ICANN charges a 20 cent fee per domain name registered. However, this fee is refundable along with the entire price of the domain registration if the domain is “returned” to the registry within 5 days. With the new rules, the 20 cent fee won’t be refundable after a registrar returns more than 10% of its domains in a month.

Commercial current affairs shows are littered with heart-rending stories of struggling pensioners who have been talked into handing over their life savings. For many Australians they represent a typical snapshot of the average scam victim. ... In 2004, the commission acted successfully against Domain Names Australia for tricking business owners into registering internet domain names that were very similar to but contained subtle differences from domain names they had already registered.

Editorial: Das Web wird kunterbunt
Die Internetregierung ICANN hat einstimmig die Liberalisierung der TLDs beschlossen. Die Preise für das eigene Territorium im Web liegen jedoch in stolzen Dimensionen. Die Registrationsgebühr für eine solche TLD wird im Kern zwischen 150.000 und 500.000 Dollar betragen. Außerdem müssen die Gesuchsteller nachweisen, dass sie über die Infrastruktur verfügen, um eine TLD auch längerfristig betreiben zu können. Also wieder nichts für www.lisa.musterfrau und Konsorten.

Un gruppo di hacker turchi ha realizzato un defacement del sito dell'ICANN
Proprio nei giorni in cui l’ICANN delibera la liberalizzazione dei nomi di dominio del web, il sito dell’organizzazione finisce sotto attacco, con un messaggio di aperta e chiara polemica “pensate di controllare i domini, ma non è così!". Più che una polemica, una dichiarazione di guerra. La denuncia di quanto accaduto arriva dallo Cnipa, il Centro Nazionale per l'Informatica nella Pubblica Amministrazione.

La rivoluzione dei nomi di dominio di Internet
Pochi giorni fa la Board dell'ICANN ha approvato delle nuove regole, che promettono di rivoluzionare i nomi di dominio associati ai siti web. La novità introdotta da queste nuove norme è rappresentata dalla possibilità di implementare nuovi nomi di dominio, che pone le basi per una forte espansione di quelli esistenti.

ICANN libera tutti
L'ICANN ha deciso: dal 2009 si potrà registrare qualsiasi dominio previa presentazione di esplicita richiesta a prezzi pattuiti. I possibili problemi sono però molti e si attende ora un regolamento attuativo prima di dare il via alla critiche

En uno de los cambios más drásticos de Internet, liberan los nombres para dominios.
A partir del 2009 se podrán crear direcciones web con las palabras y letras que se desee, además de los tradicionales ".com", ".org" y ".net". Los nuevos sufijos podrían cubrir ciudades como "nyc" y "berlin", o "bank" para el sector bancario".

ICANN acepta una proposición para admitir cualquier sufijo en las direcciones de Internet
En una junta en París, la Coporación de Internet para Nombres y Números Asignados, una organización de no lucro que supervisa el nombramiento de los sitios web a aceptado una proposicón para permitir a las compañías comprar nuevos nombres de dominio que terminen en casi cualquier sufijo que decidan. Así que por ejemplo, en lugar de estar restringidos por terminaciones como .com o .org, eBay podría tener un sitio que termine en .ebay o New York City podría terminar su sitio web con .nyc.

Final abierto: ponele .com o lo que quieras
El jueves pasado, durante su encuentro anual en París, la ICANN decidió liberar los dominios raíz, es decir que, en lugar de .com, .org, etc., a fines de 2009 se podrán crear direcciones de Internet con cualquier terminación. Por ejemplo, un club podrá tener un sitio .futbol.

Sobre la liberalización de los TLDs en dominios
Llevo días queriendo escribir sobre esta cuestión, pero apenas he tenido tiempo de sentarme para escribir y ordenar mis pensamientos. Como la mayoría sabéis, ICANN ha decidido liberalizar la concesión de TLD’s ante la avalancha de nuevas extensiones de dominio (.gal, .eng, .lat, .nyc, etc…) que tenía que tratar en la última sesión que se hizo en Paris. Eso si, estas nuevas extensiones no estarán disponibles hasta principios del año 2010.
