FYI:
Very interesting article here Andy. The part that struck
me
as particularly interesting was:
"Icann adopted a recommendation from the World Intellectual Property
Organization that disputes over cybersquatting in top level domains such
as ".com" be handled through an international dispute resolution process
- the details of which will be determined by the unelected United
States-centric organization.
Mr Higgins held a one-hour meeting with Icann
interim chairman Esther Dyson in
Santiago. He says she indicated country code
domains like ".nz" would be next. "
This was particularly interesting in that it reverses an earlier
attitude that
the than very new ICANN (Initial?) Interim board had towards ccTLD's
and
stated so publicly and that they seem to be making decisions in advance
without any public input, but only taking the recommendations of the
GAC,
and leave it at that. Again another demonstration of disenfranchisement
and further violation of the principals and precepts of the White Paper.
