The EU High-Level Internet Governance Group Hearing
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=39172243&f=175425&u=11399494>

Nearly 80 participants attended the EU-sponsored hearing on internet
governance Wednesday. The hearing was held the day before a private meeting
of the EC’s High Level Internet Governance Group (HLIGG), as a way of
gathering opinions and ideas. Participants who came eager to discuss and
explore Commissioner Viviane Reding’s call for new forms of accountability
and oversight of
ICANN<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/reding/video/text/message_20090504.pdf>quickly
learned that her proposal was off-limits. Reding’s paper, we
learned, was her own personal initiative, not an official or vetted product
of the EC. Members of the HLIGG were as surprised by it as the rest of us
and did not want discussion of it to dominate the hearing.

 EU to Obama: Privatize ICANN, Internationalize Oversight
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=39133342&f=175425&u=11399494>

Saying that "A moment of truth will come on 30 September this year,"
European Commissioner Viviane Reding proposed a reformed model of global
Internet governance<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/reding/video/text/message_20090504.pdf>.
Release of the proposal was timed to enable discussion of it at the May 6th
2009 consultations in
Brussels<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/policy/internet_gov/index_en.htm>.
In the statement, she expressed support for the basic model of a privatized,
independent ICANN and pressed President Obama to complete the job. She also
made two interesting proposals, one for an independent international
tribunal to which ICANN decisions could be appealed, and the other for a
forum of 12 governments that would meet twice a year to make recommendations
to ICANN on public policy matters.

 European Commission to hold Hearing on Internet Governance Arrangements,
international dimensions of security and stability
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=39077645&f=175425&u=11399494>

IGP's Milton Mueller and Jeanette Hofmann have been invited to attend
a European
Commission Hearing on Internet Governance
Arrangements<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/policy/internet_gov/index_en.htm>to
be held in Brussels on May 6. The
agenda<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/arc/governance/2009-04/msg00217.html>focuses
attention on the international dimension of "security and stability"
as governments continue to use the "critical infrastructure" rubric to
position themselves for a stronger role. For example, it asks whether
"self-regulation for critical infrastructures and services [should] be more
closely monitored by governments and relevant public authorities?"

 Hey Washington! A leaderless Internet finds its way, again
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=39164874&f=175425&u=11399494>

With Washington cyberbuzzing from Congressional hearings and report releases
over the past week – on topics from the power struggle over who should be
the USG’s cyber
tsar<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://hsgac.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?Fuseaction=Hearings.Detail&HearingID=fd18b89f-b540-4e9a-9c52-823013751b9b>to
how
best to prepare the
nation<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_20090505_3887.php>for
what seems to be imminent "cyberattacks" from Russia or China – you’d
think lawmakers are convinced that, unless someone “owns the problem” and
the US provides stronger leadership, the Internet as we know it is doomed.

Fortunately, the experts over at Renesys have again published
data<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://www.renesys.com/blog/2009/05/byte-me.shtml>suggesting
that this is not necessarily the case – that the Internet’s
infrastructure (in this case routing) is remarkably resilient in the face of
constantly changing threats. Furthermore, their data seemingly indicates
that there are high levels of largely uncoordinated (that’s right,
leaderless) organizational responses occurring when incidents transpire.

 Commerce Department: Headed toward ICANN 3.0?
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=39018468&f=175425&u=11399494>

The NTIA has published a Notice of Inquiry, Assessment of the Transition of
the Technical Coordination and Management of the Internet's Domain Name and
Addressing System<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/E9-9409.htm>,
in advance of the expiration of the Joint Project Agreement in September
2009. The document outlines the history and evolution of the MOU between the
DoC and ICANN, and the questions posed cover fairly standard territory.
However, one caught our attention.

 The simple solution to the .SU problem
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=38963132&f=175425&u=11399494>

Discussions within ICANN are underway about what to do with the .SU top
level domain. The .SU TLD was a country code when the Soviet Union existed.
Obviously, that political entity no longer exists. There is now a debate
about whether to close down the TLD or
not<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399494/http://www.icann.org/correspondence/soldatov-to-twomey-24jun07.pdf>.
In the meantime, the people who run it (in some place called "Russia," which
already has its own TLD, .ru) are registering new domains like mad. ICANN is
in a conundrum.
