700 new web address names are coming: here’s what you need to know - The internet is chock full these days, and if you want to stand out and compete you need not only a great website but also a memorable - and preferably short - domain name.
New top-level domains mean the chance to grab a great URL
Try and register your chosen domain name today with a .com or .co.uk ending and you'll inevitably find that it's already taken. There are around 110 million .com websites registered, which leaves the option of settling for another so-called top-level domain (TLD) such ... read more ...
What Are New gTLD Governance Councils? -
A domain name extension is unique
Many generic, community and other geographic new domain name extensions (also called "gTLDs" or "generic Top Level Domains") will soon become a focal point for the industry or sector they represent.
These simple denominators which define a vertical sector, profession, geographic, ethnic or other delineated group on the Internet have not existed on the Internet until now. These new domain name extensions are moving from the realm of science fiction to science ... read more ...

.berlin steht in den Startlöchern - MarkMonitor erklärt Rechtsschutzmechanismen für generische Top Level Domains

New gTLD Queries at the Root & Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle -
Since Verisign published its second SSR report a few weeks back, recently updated with revision 1.1 [PDF], we've been taking a deeper look at queries to the root servers that elicit "Name Error," or NXDomain responses and figured we'd share some preliminary results.
Not surprisingly, promptly after publication of the Interisle Consulting Group's Name Collision in the DNS [PDF] report, a small number of the many who are impacted are aiming to discredit the report. While we believe it is not ... read more ...
Neustar’s Proposal for New gTLD Collision Risk Mitigation -
Neustar has a vested interest in ensuring that the domain name system is as secure and stable as possible. We have been operating top level domains (TLDs) for more than a decade, and we intend to provide the same level of service as the back-end registry provider for more than 350 applicants for the new generic TLDs that we hope will become available in the coming months.
As such, we took the opportunity to respond to a recent proposal by ICANN's staff to mitigate the risk of "collision," ... read more ...

ANA: ICANN is Falling Short of its Mission to Protect Internet Security and Stability -
The Association of National Advertisers (ANA) has just weighted in on the Name Collision issue in a in a letter sent to ICANN.
The title of the letter is “ICANN is Falling Short of its Mission to Protect Internet Security and Stability”
It should be noted that the ANA has not been the greatest fan of the new gTLD program in general.
“The Interisle Consulting Group clearly stated in the “Name Collision in the DNS Report” (the “Study”) that nearly all proposed new gTLDs carry some ... read more ...
Gimme Shelter: With Hackers Hitting Domain Providers, Brands May Rely … - Most of us are pretty familiar with the concept of a hacker attacking a website – and, in fact, downloadable tools to help hackers break into a site and steal information are readily available. But what happens when a top-level domain registry is hacked, as appears to have been the case for Google’s Palestinian domain earlier this week?From what TechCrunch reported as of Monday morning, “…it seems that Google’s Palestinian domain was hijacked and redirected to another server altogether. ... read more ...
What is ICANN? -
(Ping! Zine Web Tech Magazine) - The same way one would connect with someone else on the phone, Internet users need a distinctive name to contact each other online. An Internet address needs to be distinctive so computers can locate one another. The job of ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is to coordinate these unique identifiers across the world.
ICANN was tasked with the technical organization of the Internet as a non-profit organization ... read more ...

China DDoS attack shows not all TLD servers equally secure -
The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that took down a portion of China's Internet over the weekend demonstrates that the strength of the global network varies greatly across domains.
Servers running China's ".cn" top level domain (TLD) came under attack Sunday starting at about 2 a.m. Eastern time. The China Internet Network Information Center, which runs the TLD servers, confirmed the attack and apologized to affected users.
The organization said it was working to "enhance ... read more ...

ICANN Approves $200 Million Dollar Budget For 2014; 306 Employees & Still No … -
ICANN just approved its 2014 budget which is coming in at over $200,000,000 in revenue.
The budget anticipates ICANN staff growing to over 300 people but the real kicker, in our opinion is that ICANN still has virtually no revenue allocated coming in from the “Last Resort” New gTLD auctions.
We have noted in past years that ICANN has not allocated any revenue coming in for auction of new gTLD strings where there is more than one applicant although the Guidebook that ICANN have produced, ... read more ...
9 Things You Need to Consider When Choosing a Registrar Solutions Partner … -
The ICANN board has passed a resolution approving the renewal of .INFO, .ORG and .BIZ Registry agreements with the clause on cross — ownership (aka Vertical Integration) removed.
What this means is that these Registries will now be allowed to own, part or whole, of a Registrar business. This will enable them to sell their TLD directly to end customers and also establish a reseller chain thus allowing much greater control and flexibility over sales channels.
This resolution effectively ... read more ...
