No Such Weblog

In late January, B has changed IP addresses. I don't remember that I've seen anything about that on the ICANN web page. Why?

Paul Twomey is giving his report to the public forum in Rome, and just discussed the memorandum of understanding. He reports that there are statements from the highest levels in the US department of commerce that the US government believes that ICANN's functions should be performed in a multi-stakeholder, private-sector body, and not by the US government, and that the USG would like to see the MoU concluded and the transfer of responsibility take place.

Elliot Noss at the microphone in Rome: Increase in registrar accreditation, but not showing up in marketing data. "Other reasons" for registrar accreditation? Twomey: There are incentives in the market that reward having more accreditation, relating to the batch pool operations around dot-com etc. Cerf: Gaming the system?
