Nye, Jr., a former US assistant secretary of defense and chairman of the US National Intelligence Council, is University Professor at Harvard University Who owns the Internet? The answer is no one and everyone. The Internet is a network of networks. Each of the separate networks belongs to different companies and organizations, and they rely on physical servers in different countries with varying laws and regulations. But without some common rules and norms, these networks cannot be linked effectively. Fragmentation ? meaning the end of the Internet ? is a real threat. < <https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/internet-governance-new-approa ch-by-joseph-s--nye-2016-08> https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/internet-governance-new-approac h-by-joseph-s--nye-2016-08> ********************** ICANN ********************** IANA Naming Function Agreement This public comment proceeding seeks community input on the proposed IANA Naming Function Agreement.

While many parts of our network have been IPv6 for a while, until recently our internal data center network was still on IPv4. In this post, we?ll explain from a network operator point of view why we needed to create a global network with IPv4 and IPv6, as well as the challenges we faced when we began to enable dual stack in our data centers with the goal to one day remove IPv4. < <https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2016/08/ipv6-inside-linkedin-part-ii- -back-to-the-future> https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2016/08/ipv6-inside-linkedin-part-ii-- back-to-the-future> Putting IPv6 vulnerabilities under the microscope Examining IPv6 vulnerabilities prior to deployment is crucial for enterprises.
