    Registrars ICANN As Seen By an ISP
    posted by michael on Wednesday July 30 2008, @03:02AM

    Dreamhost is a major US-based ISP with a somewhat irreverant blogging style. The latest blog entry, Crazy Domain Insane, discusses ICANN, new TLDs, domain name auctions, and more. Interesting to see it from another perspective.

    Watchdogs ICANN Struggles With Transparency
    posted by michael on Thursday July 24 2008, @06:40AM

    Milton Mueller at IGP in Does ICANN Still Keep Some Things Hidden?:

    ICANN has made major strides towards increasing its transparency, but the point about openness and transparency is that you do it all the time, not just when its convenient or when the results won't challenge you. In that regard we find it interesting that ICM Registry's precedent-setting call for an Independent Review Panel has not seen the light anywhere on ICANN's website. ICM Registry, you will recall, was the applicant for the .xxx TLD, and due to interference by governments and some spinelessness by ICANN management ICANN's approval was reversed. ICM has chosen to become the first entity in history to attempt to use ICANN's Independent Review Process, something that ICANN touts as being a safeguard of its accountability but which some independent experts see as somewhat biased against the challenger. Sure, we don't expect ICANN to make a big deal about the challenge but we do think that its correspondence section, which contains virtually everyting sent to ICANN now, should post the notice of the IRP from the ICM Registry and that its ongoing front page news section should mention it.
