The unanimous 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling last Friday will allow an Internet industry trade group to proceed to trial on claims that Mountain View-based VeriSign inflated the cost of domain names by engaging in predatory and monopolistic behavior.

Since its creation in 1998, ICANN has operated under contract with the U.S. government. CDT has long argued that ICANN should be freed of U.S. control, but only if it is accountable to the global Internet community and protected from interference by other governments. In comments filed today with the Commerce Department, CDT set out five steps that must be taken before ICANN can become fully independent. Central among these is limiting ICANN's mission solely to matters affecting competition, security and stability of the DNS and requiring consensus among affected stakeholders for the adoption of ICANN rules June 08, 2009. http://www.cdt.org/international/20090608_icann.pdf Carlton: ICANN TLD Expansion to "Increase Output, Lower Price and Increase Innovation" According to the latest update from ICANN related to the introduction of new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs), Dr. Dennis Carlton (Related) has reiterated that the planned introduction of new gTLDs will not burden trademark owners with additional defensive registrations. http://www.circleid.com/posts/carlton_icann_tld_expansion_review/ Icann: Coders, ISPs vital to Net security Developers and Internet service providers will need to participate if the encryption of a fundamental Internet protocol is to succeed, according to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann). http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000000189,39661589,00.htm http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/security/0,39044215,62054792,00.htm ICANN, VeriSign, agencies collaborate on securing the Internet's root DNS ICANN, VeriSign, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology will work in a joint effort to secure the Internet?s root domain name system (DNS). http://gcn.com/articles/2009/06/08/verisign-icann-agencies-collaborate-on-root-dns-security.aspx How is Whois?
