Vancouver ICANN outreach session hosted by TC
For your info, and as an invitation, here's the announcement of the Telecommunities Canada session now on the program of the PCNA 2007 Summit in Vancouver. GG Garth Graham 25-118 Aldersmith Place, Victoria, BC, Canada, V9A 7M9 250-721-5494 Skype: gghis voice ================================= WHAT’S A NARALO? Telecommunities Canada is hosting an open “ICANN Outreach” session at the Pacific Community Networks Association 2007 Summit: Strategic use of ICTs for Communities, Vancouver, February 23-25, 2007. < http://www.2007summit.ca/> Friday, Feb 23rd, 10:30 – 11:30 am Pacific Standard Time. SESSION DESCRIPTION Telecommunities Canada is exploring ways to increase public participation in “Internet Governance” issues. One opportunity we see involves working with and through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN is a private sector, non-profit corporation with technical management responsibilities for the Internet's domain name and address system. In understanding the interests of individual Internet users (referred to by ICANN as the "At-Large" community) they rely on an At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). ICANN is in the process of encouraging the formation of the North American Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO) to be a forum and coordination point in North America for public input via the ALAC. Telecommunities Canada is acting in cooperation with other organizations to assist in NARALO”s formation, particularly to gain leverage in addressing the way that telecommunications policy reform in Canada will impact on Internet Governance issues. In this session, we’d like to think aloud about our plans and receive your comments by: · Reviewing and discussing the thinking of TC and other agencies about the opportunities that might flow from NARALO formation, · Providing a window on what NARALO/ALAC/ICANN participation could involve for other interested user groups attending the 2007 Community Networking Summit. REMOTE PARTICIPATION: There will be remote participation in this session, facilitated via the Marratech video e-meeting and web collaboration environment now being tested by ALAC. The meeting room is “open” now and throughout February. We’d encourage you to spend time learning how it works before entering the session. There are 2 ways to enter the MarrraTech e-meeting room: 1 - Java Webstart (The preferred method) Click the following link which will automatically install the Marratech client: http://uk.emeetingportal.com/launch.jsp?sid=537 When prompted enter the user details: Username: spamcop Password: spamcop This will take you into the virtual meting room. 2 - Installed client Download the installation file from our website: www.marratech.com/download and install in the usual manner Open Marratech, select 'Marratech Meetings' / 'UK & France' Login on the left hand side with the above details and your room will appear at the bottom of the list under 'Private Rooms' - click to enter. When you are “in” the room, you will notice on the lower right-hand corner of the screen, at the bottom of the participants panel, there are three on/off buttons with icons for video, audio-out and audio- in. Because of possible audio feedback/echo problems, please do not leave the audio-in button on, unless you are speaking or are using a head-set. ------ end ----
http://domainnamewire.com/2007/02/13/its-time-to-fix-domain-name-authorizati... [Excerpt] These codes, alternatively called domain keys, transfer codes, etc., are required to transfer domains between registrars. Heres how it works. Say you want to transfer domains between registrars, such as from GoDaddyto Moniker (as I did with 50 of my domains this weekend). Before submitting your domains to Moniker, you need to get domain-specific codes from GoDaddy and provide them to Moniker. This adds a layer of protection. If someone gained access to your e-mail account they could try to transfer your domains to another registrar, but theyd need access to your registrar account to get the authorization codes. The problem is that registrars do their best to make it a hassle to get your authorization codes. At GoDaddy you must request that your authorization codes be e-mailed to you. You have to select each domain you want the code for, click the button to send the code, and then click a confirmation link. Thats not bad for one or two domains but is time consuming when transferring 50 domains. Why doesnt GoDaddy let you request authorization codes in bulk? I can unlock and lock domains in bulk, change nameservers in bulk, renew in bulk, and change contacts in bulk. But I cant request authorization codes in bulk. The answer is simple. If the hassle is too great then you wont bother transferring your domains. Im not trying to pick on GoDaddy, it just so happens that was the registrar in this case. Other registrars are just as bad if not worse. Some registrars even make it difficult to unlock a domain for transfer by requiring you send a long distance fax. Its time for ICANN to hold registrars to a higher standard and for ICANN to be given the power to enforce these standards with fines. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a PS3 game guru.

Just a reminder of the session tomorrow in Vancouver. Hope to see you there via videoconference! ALAC members in particular are most welcome to join in - it also helps us give the Marratech videoconference system a good test. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Garth Graham <garth.graham@telus.net> Date: 12-Feb-2007 19:31 Subject: [NA-Discuss] Vancouver ICANN outreach session hosted by TC To: NA-Discuss <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> For your info, and as an invitation, here's the announcement of the Telecommunities Canada session now on the program of the PCNA 2007 Summit in Vancouver.
