[1] Fitting .JOBS Into the Marketplace
=======================================================================
INSIDE: Top-Level Domains
BY: Michael Specht
POSTED: Apr 13, 2005

There have been several posts over the last 48 hours in response to the new 
dot jobs domain on both sides of the argument. John Sumser from The 
Electronic Recruiting News provides a balanced view of the new domain and 
in the end determines that then new domain will not help job seekers. Gerry 
Crispin has a slightly different view on The CareerXroads, which is not 
surprising as Gerry was a advocate of the new domain from the beginning. 
Joel Cheesman provides a fantastic top 10 thoughts on the new domain as 
well... >>>

[2] Story Behind .ASIA
=======================================================================
INSIDE: Top-Level Domains
BY: James Seng
POSTED: Apr 12, 2005

After releasing .travel and .jobs (hey, steve.jobs up for bidding!), ICANN 
said they will look at .xxx and .asia next. (via Chiao) "Vint Cerf: ...of 
those, we have had fairly extensive discussion about .asia and .xxx. We 
continue to evaluate those. The others will be attended to as we can get to 
them. But i want to say for the record that we will attempt within the next 
30 days to come to a conclusion one way or the other about .asia and .xxx 
so these will be on a board call sometime within that period." Chiao called 
.ASIA "more or less like a joint venture among APxx organizations". I say 
nonsense! Don't let appearance fool you. >>>

[3] In Pursuit of IDN Perfection?
=======================================================================
INSIDE: Internationalized DN
BY: Joi Ito
POSTED: Apr 11, 2005

Many of the problems of IDNs come from trying to do multiple languages at 
the same time or languages one can't read. The biggest difficulty is 
implementing them in gTLDs like .com or .org. I think that if we focus on 
helping the country level TLDs (ccTLDs) get going with IDNs in their own 
native languages, we would be solving the problem for 80% or so of the 
people. My concern is holding up the ability for these people to use IDNs 
because we can find the perfect solution for the edge cases. >>>

[4] Creating a National Cybersecurity Framework: Need For New Regulation? 
=======================================================================
INSIDE: Security
BY: Bruce Levinson
POSTED: Apr 11, 2005

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) recently released a major new 
study examining cybersecurity. The report, "Creating a National Framework 
for Cybersecurity: An Analysis of Issues and Options" discusses a variety 
of significant public and private cybersecurity concerns. The CRS analysis 
lists several broad options for addressing cybersecurity weaknesses ranging 
from adopting standards and certification to promulgating best practices 
and guidelines and use of audits among other measures. >>>

[5] The Ultimate Solution to Internet Governance: Let ITU and ICANN compete
=======================================================================
INSIDE: Internet Governance
BY: Milton Mueller
POSTED: Apr 06, 2005

Controversies over ICANN led to the creation of the Working Group on 
Internet Governance, but so far there have been few specific proposals for 
change. The Internet Governance Project has entered that breach with a new 
policy paper: "What to Do About ICANN: A Proposal for Structural Reform." 
The proposal, by Hans Klein and myself, proposes three clean, clear but 
probably controversial solutions to the criticisms that have been made of 
ICANN. >>>

[6] JET Open Letter to Microsoft
=======================================================================
INSIDE: Internationalized DN
BY: James Seng
POSTED: Apr 05, 2005

We, members of the JET (Joint Engineering Team), send this open letter to 
request Microsoft Corporation to implement IDN (Internationalized Domain 
Names) standards[1] in the next version of Internet Explorer. ...IDN is a 
critical enabling technology that will make the Internet more useable and 
attractive to the majority of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean population 
who do not use English in their daily life. In fact, IDN is mentioned as 
one of the Declaration of Action of the World Summit of Information Society 
(WSIS). To date, IDN registration has been launched in .cn, .jp, .kr, .tw 
and many other European country code top level domain as well as other 
generic top level domain names. More than 1 million IDNs have been 
registered since 2000. Most of the web browsers, such as Safari, Firefox 
and Opera have implemented IDN standards. This means that users can use IDN 
in these web browsers without additional applications or plug-ins... >>>

[7] How India's .IN Domain Rouses from its Slumber
=======================================================================
INSIDE: Top-Level Domains
BY: Ram Mohan
POSTED: Mar 31, 2005

India is one of the world's fastest growing economies, the global leader in 
outsourcing and the service computing, and home to over a billion people. 
But when I first met officials from the Indian government to discuss their 
plans for .IN, India had a total of just about 7,000 .IN registrations, 
fewer than most small countries have. ...(Compare to 100,000 names 
registered last month alone) This is one of the most rapid starts of any 
domain worldwide. In my conversations with senior officials of the Indian 
Government and the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) which manages 
the .IN Registry, they credited three key decisions that proved critical to 
the success of the domain's re-launch... >>>
