Have You Caught Up with ICANNLabs Yet?
The multi-stakeholder model, bottom-up model is central to the way ICANN operates, and always will be. It?s a model designed to get those interested in internet policy and governance to share, discuss, collaborate and contribute. And, as such, it?s been a little strange that we haven?t made the most of the technology of the industry we work in to make that process easier.

You Just Signed a Registry Contract With ICANN. What Are Your Plans? by Thomas Barrett
Back on February 4, 2013, I wrote a CircleID post entitled 'How the registrar Cash Flow Model Could Collapse with New ICANN gTLDs.' My key point back then was this: new gTLD applicants need to be mindful of how the cash flow policies of their registry (and of their back-end service provider) could impact whether their TLD is actively promoted by ICANN registrars... registries have historically assumed near-zero risk. This is going to change.

Reflections on EUI's New Community Priority Evaluation Guidelines for New gTLDs by Shweta Sahjwani
The new Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) guidelines prepared by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), and published by ICANN are now past their feedback period. We, at Radix, believe that ICANN has received feedback from approximately 10 stakeholders, and I for one, am looking forward to those being published. In light of the fact that none of the comments that ICANN received have been made public yet, I decided to blog about my multiple concerns with the new guidelines. Sparing a thought for the not-so-involved reader, I have limited my rant to some of the more important issues.

**********************
On the Time Value of Security Features in DNS by Paul Vixie
There are some real problems in DNS, related to the general absence of Source Address Validation (SAV) on many networks connected to the Internet. The core of the Internet is aware of destinations but blind to sources. If an attacker on ISP A wants to forge the source IP address of someone at University B when transmitting a packet toward Company C, that packet is likely be delivered complete and intact, including its forged IP source address. Many otherwise sensible people spend a lot of time and airline miles trying to improve this situation... The problems created for the Domain Name System (DNS) by the general lack of SAV are simply hellish.

Internet snooping: Covertly weakening the security of the entire internet to make snooping easier is a bad idea
?Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on,? declared Edward Snowden, the former computer technician at America?s National Security Agency (NSA) responsible for leaking a trove of documents about his erstwhile employer?s activities, in an online question-and-answer session in June. The latest revelations, published on September 5th by the Guardian, the New York Times and ProPublica, explain his careful choice of words. Many cryptographic systems in use on the internet, it seems, are not ?properly implemented?, but have been weakened by flaws deliberately introduced by the NSA as part of a decade-long programme to ensure it can read encrypted traffic.

EUROPE wasn?t always a digital laggard. Its telecoms operators were far quicker than America?s to build 3G mobile-telecoms networks. Nokia once made the world?s coolest mobile phones. But the old continent has fallen behind. Only a quarter of the European Union?s people have access to new 4G networks, according to the European Commission. In America a single company, Verizon (a monster borrower this week, see article), reaches nine out of ten. South Korea?s broadband speeds leave Europe standing.
