ICE, European law enforcement agencies and Europol seize 132 domain names selling counterfeit merchandise in 'Project Cyber Monday 3' and 'Project Transatlantic' operation
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Nov. 28, 2012

Nov. 28, 2012

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), law enforcement agencies from Belgium, Denmark, France, Romania and the United Kingdom, and the European Police Office (Europol) seized 132 domain names today that were illegally selling counterfeit merchandise online to unsuspecting consumers. The 132 domain names seized are part of Project Cyber Monday 3 and Project Transatlantic. These websites were set up to dupe consumers into unknowingly buying counterfeit goods as part of the holiday shopping season. The operation was coordinated by the ICE HSI-led National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) in Washington, D.C. This is the third year that the IPR Center has targeted websites selling counterfeit products online in conjunction with Cyber Monday. An iteration of Operation In Our Sites (IOS), Cyber Monday 3 seized 101 websites and yielded one arrest. Additionally, recognizing the global nature of Internet crime, this year the IPR Center partnered with Europol, who, through its member countries, executed coordinated seizures of foreign-based top-level domains such as .eu, .be, .dk, .fr, .ro and .uk. This effort is titled Project Transatlantic and resulted in 31 domain name seizures. Read rest of press release http://www.ice.gov/news/releases/1211/121126washingtondc.htm

RES: ICANN LAC Strategy
by vanda＠uol.com.br Nov. 21, 2012

Nov. 21, 2012

[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: RES: ICANN LAC Strategy From: vanda(a)uol.com.br Ola everyone. Follow my ideas, in addition to those of Natalia 1) I think it's particularly members of governments in our meetings where training is very important. Other LACNIC LTDL are groups that have similar or better knowledge of the topics discussed. What it can do, as well as was done with LACTLD, is to invite other members of these groups to make presentations on relevant points to consider them too. 2) Another important point is apra stay closer participation in regional conferences, and invitations LACNIC We normally LACRALO members to participate in meetings. Expand these scholarships, with the financial support of ICANN, adding more members is a very constructive. We have selection criteria for non simply voting, as we do in SSAC. For example: Not LACRALO representative in ALAC (1 point) Participate in working groups LACRALO (1 point) - each participating group has a point. Wrote a repo for LACRALO in that year (1 point) - each repo has a point. Participated in hair least 80% of LACRALO meetings since the last meeting of LACNIC or LACTLD (1 point) I did not participate in the meeting LACTLD LACNIC or above (1 point) Whoever has the most points receives the scholarship. If there is a tie in points minors may have a vote. 3) make a call by half where the three participating organization and governments are also invited directly by ICANN (Rodrigo) to participate in the call, with multisectoral agenda of more general interest.

No methodology which will be well, I guess I'll know when they meet for the first time with Rodrigo and other members of the WG. Similarly, control some comments or suggestions for what to serve: * A. Objectives * 1. Ensure the level of participation and involvement of all regional actors (Including governments) ICANN relevant. * I think you could point out the Capacity Building sessions we do in the region during the monthly calls.Recall that these sessions are open to interested parties and that could invite representatives of the governments of the region to enable them to have better understanding of ICANN and policy issues are discussed. We know that now last 30 minutes and often not enough. Already there are proposals that from 2013 these sessions that last an hour and are made out of monthly calls. Which is easier to involve more stakeholders. * 2. Create alliances and cooperation mechanisms existing instances of Internet development in the region. * There are bodies in the region and successful career as LACNIC LACTLD, etc. that the region could support either for the participation of more local players through scholarships, as they do for the IGF and in capacity building to ensure better participation of ICANN. * 3.Awakening interest in regional governments ICANN issues building on initiatives local existing regional NGOs led by the region. * From personal experience, when I was looking for that Paraguay has a representative to the GAC, had greater success at finding Nicholas Knight who took part in these forums and was aware. It also has more weight when ICANN communicates with governments supporting the management of the local NGO. At least that happens in Paraguay. * 4. Promote the development of skills and organizational strengthening of public institutions private social and academics linked to the Internet. * It is important to involve the universities. Create a network of universities or locate any existing to help in this objective. * 5.Carry concienzación understanding and the region on the benefits of involvement and participation in ICANN, as well as on the how policies / decisions of ICANN affect about the various actors. * Here support what Carlton says, you have to use radios, commercial or community. Also I think the newspapers are also a suitable vehicle. As an example, and something that could emulate, is the case of Miami Herald columnist Andres Oppenheimer, http://www.andresoppenheimer.com/columnas/ author of "Chinese Stories" http://www.amazon.com/Cuentos-Chinos-Spanish-Andres-Oppenheimer/dp/03073479…, who writes a column on the global economy and how it affects the region among other things. This column is published in several newspapers in the region. I think you could try to do something similar, in clear and simple for the citizen who is not an expert on these issues or not aware of how to approach ICANN. * 6.Strategic support for the creation of suppliers Dispute Resolution (UDRP and / or URS) with base in the region, and appropriate to the needs the region (language, cost, cultural patterns) for disputes gTLDs involve current and new gTLDs. * Gabriela Szlak Latin American Institute for Electronic Commerce-ILCE http://www.einstituto.org/site/, BC and fellow member, is working on this issue. She has a project on the subject and I want to develop in the region. It would be interesting to make an alliance with them and how to support users with system testing. * * B. Lines of action: * 1. SSAC Work with the creation of a Sub-regional Committee on the safety and stability. * The OAS member countries are part of the CSIRT / REMJA http://www.oas.org/es/sla/dlc/remja/. May form alliance with them also for the sub-committee creacind. Since we have local experts who are trained and also permanent part of law enforcement. * 2. Promote with various local actors business models both within ICANN (gTLDs registries, registrars) and those related to ICANN (DNS Providers, Resellers, Trademark Watch Services, Network Security, etc.). * The ILCE, organizes events in each country of the region called e-commerce day ..... (name of country) For eg e-commerce day Paraguay. http://www.einstituto.org/site/iniciativas/ecommerce-day/ They meet members of the commercial sector relating to electronic commerce. It is a good niche to promote various business models. * 3. Increase the number of scholarships for countries in development of the region. * You can make a pool of scholarships to participate in meetings with the various agencies of the region (LACNIC LACTLD ILCE, ISOC, etc) and would be good on the website of ICANN are made are the options to participate, and either through scholarships Fellowship, the GAC or other sources, so that users are aware. * The 19 November 2012 16:03, Fatima Cambronero <fatimacambronero(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Estimados, > > > En primer lugar quisiera agradecerles por su apoyo para formar parte > de esta Comisión de Estrategia como delegada de LACRALO por América > Latina junto a Dev por Caribe. > > > En segundo lugar comentarles que nuestra tarea va a estar centrada en > ser un nexo entre LACRALO y dicho Comité.
