ISOC-NY EVENT: dot nyc – How are we doing? May 8 @ NYU
by Joly MacFie May 7, 2010

May 7, 2010

[Final reminder - live webcast available - please forward widely!] Last October the NYC Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications (DoITT) issued a request for proposals for "services to obtain, manage, administer, maintain and market the geographic Top Domain name .nyc.". At ICANN’s recent 37th meeting in Nairobi, consensus was reached on the "overarching" issue of intellectual property protection. This leaves only the issue of the final (4th) draft of the Applicants Guidebook, expected before the 38th meeting in Brussels in June 2010, before the much delayed new generic top level domain (gTLD) delegation process can finally grind into action. (One caveat - a policy forbidding cross-ownership of registries and registrars is still not totally set in stone.) The Internet Society - New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) has for some years been following the .nyc and ICANN process on behalf of the NYC community and will, on May 8 2010, host a symposium "dot nyc - How are we doing?" at NYU. At 1pm NYC Council Member Gale Brewer will deliver keynote remarks, then Vendor Eric Brunner-Williams of CORE Internet Council of Registrars will reveal details of their proposal to the City, and Antony Van Couvering of Minds + Machines earlier comments to the City Council concerning their proposal will be shown in video. After a break there will be a discussion "What’s it for?" about possible applications - civic, community, commercial, and "outside the box" - for a local top level domain. Speakers include Tom Lowenhaupdt of Connecting .nyc and Richard Knipel of Wikimedia NYC. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| What: ISOC-NY Event: dot nyc - How are we doing? When: Saturday May 8 2010 : 1pm - 4:30pm EST (1700-2030 UTC) Where: Warren Weaver Hall NYU Rm102, 250 Mercer St, NY 10012 Who: Public Welcome. Admission Free.

He also started up several ccTLDs, including .TM, .BT, .AS and others. http://www.mindsandmachines.com/ Tom Lowenhaupt Tom’s involvement with Internet governance began with comments he filed on the NTIA’s 1998 Internet governance NPRM. He is a former long time member of Community Board 15 in Queens, where the idea of the establishment of a .nyc TLD as a public resouce was first mooted in 2001. In April 2007, invigorated by similar efforts in other international cities, he formed ‘Connecting .nyc‘, a non-profit that has been working since then to assure that the delegation and operation of any such domain be in the the public interest of the NYC community. http://connectingnyc.org/ Richard Knipel Richard is President of Wikimedia New York City, an affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_New_York_City ISOC-NY ISOC-NY is the Greater New York Metropolitan Area chapter of the Internet Society.

European MP says "unbelievable" German high school student getting away with domain scam
by Joe Baptista April 27, 2010

April 27, 2010

UPDATE: European MP "unbelievable" German high school student getting away with fraud *April 26, 2010* Today a German member of the European Parliament said its "unbelievable that this could happen" to the Gymnasium Querfurt in Germany. Christopher Mettin a student at the prestigious German high school continues to sell Top-Level Domains using his schools reputation as a marketing tool. Mettin is an associate of Herman Xennt a convicted felon in the Netherlands (details at main story below). Dr. Hans-Jorg Daumer Principle of the Gymnasium Querfurt said "Christopher is not commissioned to act on behalf of the Gymnasium Querfurt" and further stated Mettin would be prohibited from using the schools name to sell domains. But to date the principles efforts have been in vein. Mettins website<http://bit.ly/cUW3Z1>and the INAIC.com <http://bit.ly/bxsJX7> site run by Herman Xennt continue to use the schools reputation to sell a questionable product and service to unsuspecting members of the public. EU MP Jan Albrecht advises any victims in the fraud contact the German police directly. Main story: http://bit.ly/5AEP1w
