The USG Gives Notice re WCIT 2012
by Carlton Samuels Aug. 3, 2012

Aug. 3, 2012

..Uncle Sam has given notice it intends a 'full court press' for WCIT. http://www.state.gov/e/eb/rls/fs/2012/195921.htm See how the Beeb reports it to the rest of the world here: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19106420 The Russian posture inre ICANN is overblown, IMO. Assuming the document is legit, they appear to be proposing that the RIR function is shared with the ITU. See what they're thinking here: http://files.wcitleaks.org/public/Russia%2040.pdf And if the Beeb's report is accurate, looks like Hamadoun is deliberately back-pedaling expectations; note his comment/definition of consensus and what it takes for any proposal to be accepted. - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

Aug. 3, 2012

Dear All, I am not sure whether LACRALO would be interested in doing some kind of outreach into the Latin American Region. This was sent to another list that I was on. The outreach could be done with the view of highlighting the role of At Large and LACRALO and how to get involved in contributing to meaningful dialogue and discussion in the various Policy spaces. Dear Friends, LACNIC together with the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), the NUPEF Institute, the Internet Society (ISOC) and new partners that will join the initiative during the course of 2012, are is organizing the Fifth Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Internet Governance Forum which will be held in Bogota, Colombia on 24-26 September. The call for Financial Asistance is now open http://www.lacigf.org/en/lacigf5/becas.html Warmest Regards, Andrés Piazza Public Affairs Officer LACNIC -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala P.O.

New Privacy and Consumer Protection Unit - California
by Carlton Samuels July 24, 2012

July 24, 2012

California has announced a new unit with specific powers. This might have implications for ICANN, it being, in legalese 'a public benefit corporation' under the laws of California. See: http://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-kamala-d-harris-anno… FWIW, the California Secretary of State has Jamaican connections. - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

Krebs on Security : DoItQuick: Fast Domains for Dirty Deeds
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh July 23, 2012

July 23, 2012

A new service offered in the cybercriminal underground is geared toward spammers, scammers and malware purveyors interested in mass-registering dozens of dodgy domains in one go. DoItQuick offers mass registration of malware domains. The service — doitquick.net — will auto-register up to 15 domains simultaneously, choosing randomly named domains unless the customer specifies otherwise. DoItQuick sells two classes of domains: “white” domains that are “guaranteed” to stay registered for at least a year; and “black” domains that customers can use for illicit purposes and expect to last between 2 and 30 days before they are canceled.
