ICANN Opens ?IANA Stewardship and Accountability Public Comment Periods? by
Philip Corwin

Over the past week ICANN has opened dual comment periods on the interrelated
proposals for transitioning oversight of the IANA root zone functions form
the U.S. government to the multistakeholder ICANN community, and for
significantly enhancing that community?s ability to hold ICANN?s Board and
staff accountable. When the final proposals are implemented they will mark
the biggest changes in ICANN?s oversight and operations since its start
seventeen years ago.

Speak Up on the IANA Transition and ICANN Accountability

Two key public consultations central to the United States Government?s
transition out of its stewardship role of the Domain Name System (DNS) have
just been announced. These processes are a crucial opportunity for
stakeholders to have their say on important developments directly related to
the governance of the DNS. They also provide the chance to demonstrate ? and
improve ? the accountability and the multistakeholder credentials of the
institutions at the heart of the Internet ecosystem.

In this case two private trusts claimed for injunctive relief and removal
against the defendant based on their community trade mark and the
corresponding family name of the second trust. The defendant runs a company
whose company name is a combination of that family name and the word
?Akademie? (academy). The same combination is registered as a
sub-level-domain of the company?s website.

Paul Graham: Change Your Name

If you have a US startup called X and you don't have x.com, you should
probably change your name. The reason is not just that people can't find
you. For companies with mobile apps, especially, having the right domain
name is not as critical as it used to be for getting users. The problem with
not having the .com of your name is that it signals weakness. Unless you're
so big that your reputation precedes you, a marginal domain suggests you're
a marginal company. Whereas (as Stripe shows) having x.com signals strength
even if it has no relation to what you do.

The Internet of Things: When Sci-Fi Becomes Reality by Ram Mohan

In my last blog post I shared some of the general security challenges that
come with the Internet of Things (IoT). In this post, I will focus on one
particular security risk: distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Even
before the age of IoT, DDoS attacks have been turning multitudes of
computers into botnets, attacking a single target and causing denial of
services for the target's users. By "multitudes" we can be talking about
thousands or even millions of victim devices.

IPv4 Address Exhaustion in APNIC

It has been over four years since APNIC handed out its last ?general use?
allocation of IPv4 addresses. Since April 2011 APNIC has been restricted to
handing out addresses from a ?last chance? address pool, and has limited the
amount of addresses allocated to each applicant to a maximum of 1,024
addresses, or the equivalent of a /22. In this article I?d like to review
where APNIC is up to with its remaining pools of IPv4 addresses.

Address Transfers in APNIC

In 2010 the Asia Pacific Regional Address Policy community adopted a policy
that permitted address holders in the region to transfer address
registration records, enabling an aftermarket in IPv4 addresses to operate
with the support of the APNIC registry function. While APNIC was still able
to allocate addresses to meet demands there was very little in the way of
activity in this market, but once APNIC was down to its last /8 of addresses
in April 2011 the level of transfer activity has picked up. In this article
I?d like to take a more detailed look at APNIC?s transfer log and see what
it can tell us about the level of activity in the address market in the Asia
Pacific region.
