Critics Say ICANN Should Compete For Net Governance Duties
(washingtonpost.com)
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

Cannibals in cyberspace 
The issue of Internet governance has all the appeal of a rare
intestinal disease and less political clout than an orphan drug.
There is no Julia Roberts waiting in the wings to testify before
Congress on behalf of democratic values in cyberspace. So as the
private body tasked with overseeing the stability of the Internet
hovers on the brink of disaster it comes as no surprise that few are
aware of the situation and that even fewer care.

NO USE MEANS NO BAD FAITH IN ICANN UDRP CASE (from BNA Internet Law
News)
In a case that may be seen as a response to the much-cited
Telstra decision which found that no use can be bad faith
use, a WIPO UDRP panelist has declined to transfer
ingrammicro.org and ingrammicro.net after finding that the
registrant, listed as Ingredients Among Modern Microwaves,
had not used the domain in any fashion and therefore there
was no evidence of bad faith use.  The panelist also noted
that the complainant, Ingram Micro, already owns the dot-com
version of its name, so the registrations did not prevent
the company from reflecting its trademark in a corresponding
domain name.  Decision at
