ARIN's Board declares an emergency
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=38709529&f=175425&u=11355457>

At ARIN, yet another intense controversy is swirling around the problem of
IPv4 address transfers. At its 18 March 2009 meeting, the Board declared an
emergency and revised a transfer policy that we all thought it had adopted a
month earlier. The Board explained the new draft policy,
2009-1<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11355457/https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2009_1.html>,
with the statement, "The Board has been concerned for some time that the
lack of a liberalized transfer policy would create legal risk: that we had
not provided a mechanism to improve the efficient utilization of
previously-allocated resources, and that this risk was significant enough to
jeopardize ARIN’s ability to fulfill its stewardship mission."

 RIPE: Existing Internet community policy channels and processes
insufficient <http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=38681581&f=175425&u=11355457>

RIPE's Enhanced Cooperation Task
Force<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11355457/http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/cooperation/index.html>has
released a
report<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11355457/http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/coop-report.html>,
calling for the establishment of a standing working group to discuss
improving coordination and communication between the Internet community and
public sectors on Internet policy matters. The report states it is "clear
that the conventional channels and processes of the Internet community are
not, of themselves, sufficient to meet the demands of enhanced cooperation."

 Norway claims agreement on "net neutrality"
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=38648425&f=175425&u=11355457>

The Consumer Council of Norway, the Consumer Ombudsman, Norwegian Internet
service providers and the Norwegian regulatory authority have come to an
agreement on joint guidelines for net
neutrality<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11355457/http://forbrukerportalen.no/Artikler/2009/historic_agreement_on_net_neutrality>.
[Note: An earlier version of this post made some assertions based on the
understanding that the Norway blocking list was compulsory, which we have
learned is not true.]

 Cyber-safety, or global censorship?
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=38557915&f=175425&u=11355457>

ICANN has encouraged new constituencies to get involved in the GNSO. Now it
has got what it asked for. This month, Cheryl Preston filed a petition with
ICANN<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11355457/http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#cybersafety>to
form a new “Cyber-safety Constituency.” It turns out that this
constituency is nothing more than an extension of the CP80
Foundation<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11355457/http://www.cp80.org>.
CP80 is devoted to systematic, global censorship of internet content in
order to eradicate pornography.

 WIPO the cybersquatter
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=38424802&f=175425&u=11355457>

The World Intellectual Property
Organization<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11355457/http://wipo.int>,
which operates the dominant domain name - trademark dispute resolution
service, has ripped off someone else's trademark with a domain name
registration. The discovery was made by US patent and trademark lawyer John
Berryhill, known for defending domain name registrants against UDRP claims.
