ICANN participation

Congratulations on the launch of the New Look Public Participation Site...

This new format (as it has developed so far) is easy to navigate and we (ALAC and its Officers) look forward to its use as an important tool...

Europe moved from summer time to winter time last night but the California won't do so until next weekend. This means that for the week of the ICANN meeting the time difference between Europe and the US is different than normal.

Anyone who wants to follow the sessions at this week's meeting will need to take account of the difference in the normal time calculations this week.
On Monday at 9am in Los Angeles it will be 5pm in Brussels and 4pm in Lisbon which is one hour earlier than last week.

Hi All,

I believe this mail will interest all. If we are interested in our identity ( The course to be proud as a people); not forgetting the recent re-launch of the "buying made in ghana goods", usage of our ccTLD (.gh) will re-ignite a national self esteem and confidence. But some will argue why go for a domain with annual fee of say 35 dollars why say .com can go for some 9 dollars. what are the charges of the sky-rocketing charges?

Read a case study of what corporate nigerian is doing.

read on and lets start a national or i say international debate ?

Yesterday's IPv6 deployment session ran over slightly, so there was no time to discuss a question Christian Chu Fook of Grenada's GD Management Group, asked. Nonetheless, it's a good question and touches on an active area of discussion in the IETF's IPv6 WG.

is there a scope within IPv6, like IPv4, that is reserved for private networks?

This session takes place in the San Geronimo A/B room between 3 and 4.30pm (UTC -4) on Sunday 24 June 2007.

What it is?

This session is a 90 minute panel discussion focusing on the issues involved in deploying IPv6 on an IPv4 network. Although IPv6 is very similar to IPv4, there are enough differences that's it's necessary to ensure many components on deployed networks will be able to handle IPv6 as well as IPv4.

Welcome to the Whois information page where you can find out what Whois is, why it is important, why there has been so much argument over it, and where the resolution process is at the moment.

I got notice yesterday evening of a class action brought to in a US Court against RF, eNom and ICANN.

Although I can understand why the plaintiff is naming eNom and ICANN ( though i don't think that she will succeed in demonstrating that there were illegal conduct from both ) it is somewhat baffling why some other registrars and registries are left alone from this action.

On the process of trying to solve the problem ICANN stated that it had come to an agreement with the registries (all? some of them?) so domains would not be lost.

ICANN has changed the method by which it draws input into its public meetings - including the public forum - in an effort to make it easier to interact, and hence encourage greater interaction.

Well i couldn't make it to Lisbon today... :-(

But would like to share my 2 cents on this

I'm really not against domain tasting de per se.

What really annoys me is the abuse some regsitrars make of their status. I thinks it's quite clear that some have just been created for the sole purpose of speculation on domain name trade. By using their registrar staus they are doing their dirty tricks for free.
