Fortunately the follow-ups were quick to point out that OpenDNS was a far cry from SiteFinder for the obvious reason that people have the choice to use it, nobody had a choice with SiteFinder. ...the real magic here can come from it's use in phishing mitigation. http://www.circleid.com/posts/opendns_anti_phishing_typosquatter_no_sitefinder/ Geneva (Switzerland) 19th-20th October 2006: WIPO Advanced Workshop on Domain Name Dispute Resolution WIPO is organising the "WIPO Advanced Workshop on Domain Name Dispute Resolution: Update on Practices and Precedents" to be held in Geneva (Switzerland) on 19th and 20th October 2006. http://www.ipr-helpdesk.org/controlador/evento?seccion=evento&id=0000002573 ICANN President's Strategy Committee Consultation with the ICANN Community: Improving the Inherent Strength of the Multi-stakeholder Model At its December 2005 ICANN meeting, the ICANN Board, emphasizing the importance of the bottom-up ICANN processes, noted that the ICANN community could also 'benefit from the advice of a group responsible for making observations and recommendations concerning strategic issues facing ICANN.'
