ICANN participation

By changing the Registered Name Holder's contact information, registrars are able to stifle any effort by the public to contact a registrant about their expiring domain name - preventing registrant from benefiting from the sale of rights to the domain name. And that's just the beginning! Learn more here:

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.

Hello

This is the second time that I bring the subject up.

I found this news release by SEDO today.
Please keep reading after the newspaper cut.

.Name Goes Live! Personlize Your Web With a Dot-Name

The World Wide Web just got a little more personal. After the release of the new commerce-oriented TLDs .biz and .info, the domain extension .name went live on Tuesday offering users a personalized space on the Net for a mere registration fee of $30/year.

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.
