Domain Name News Resale of domain names goes bust along with the dot-com era (Silicon Valley) Timothy Lee prompted some head-scratching two years ago when he said he turned down $8 million cash and $30 million in stock for the ``cool.com'' Web address he had registered years earlier for free. http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/technology/personal_technology/2666167.htm Second thoughts on domain name rule (China Daily) Chinese experts are cautioning the Internet's main standards-setting body against hastily approving a controversial set of specifications on internationalized domain names. http://www.chinadaily.net/cndy/2002-02-11/56462.html From BNA Internet Law News News On Upcoming ICANN Meetings Two developments of note regarding upcoming ICANN meetings -first, ICANN announced yesterday that its June meeting will be held in Bucharest, Romania. Second, Ben Edelman of the Berkman Center, which had been involved in previous webcasts of ICANN meetings, has announced that the Center will not be involved in webcasting the upcoming Accra, Ghana meeting in March. Should the upcoming meeting not be webcast, this would raise considerable concern since given the distant meeting location for many involved in the ICANN process, one would have thought that the Ghana necessitates full remote participation. http://www.icannwatch.org/article.php?sid=545 http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-13feb02.htm From BNA Internet Law News ICANN Warns Firms Of Domain-Registration Back Doors ICANN has issued a warning to authorized Internet address marketers who let other companies dip into the domain registration system, reminding them that they are not allowed to let unauthorized third parties access the complex systems behind the registration, transfer and deletion of addresses. Access lending appears to be popular among domain-name speculators fighting for the attractive monikers that become available when their current owners fail to renew their registrations.
