The Site Finder Reprise
I have been attending the Icann conference in Malaysia
this week. One of the key events was the submission of
the report from the Security & Stability Advisory
Committee regarding Site Finder. In reading the
committee's report I discovered what I believe is an
incredible breakdown in logic and as a consequence, a
very mistaken, or at least confused, set of
conclusions. So, why do I say that?

Secret Services Likely to Grab .UA Domain - Hostmaster
Director Mostovy
The international community is concerned about the
government decision to attribute the management of the
.UA domain name to security services. The government
and secret services may grab .UA ccTLD to receive a
"magic button", which can allow them to shut down any
offensive Ukrainian web-site in minutes, and give them
full control on the Ukrainian Internet content and,
consequently, the control on the Ukrainian Internet
community as whole, according to the letter of
B.Mostovy, director general of Hostmaster Ltd., the
current administrator of the .UA domain.

Opportunity
Much of the discussion at ICANN's recent meetings in
