All postings here are my own opinion. YMMV. May shrink in hot water. Do not expose to UV. May contain traces of nuts. With added riboflavin!

Guess machine names other than www dont work on the intraweb
Because jobs.domainname.com is such a hard concept we have .jobs. The funny thing is even their own press release they use a .com name and also the wrong domain name. The have listed employeemedia.com and not employmedia.com.

EU saying one thing and doing another?
Internetnews.com has an interesting angle on the USA vs the World issue. They have a quote from Bret Fausett:

But it wasn't a particularly risky move for the EU to make, he said, because they are secure in the knowledge the U.S. is adamant about not giving control to the U.N. Many of the member nations within the EU, he said, still support the U.S. role for Internet governance.

That is an interesting approach. Is EU playing both sides of the field?

Milton Mueller on The Failure of Internet Unilateralism
Milton Mueller has written an article on ICANNWatch called The Failure of Internet Unilateralism. Milton is well versed in ICANN and domain name issues. The story is timely and makes some comments on the inconsistent approach of the USA governments position.

I think the current policy approach is naive and will only lead to a path of greater confrontation. It is time for the USA to state what is minimum requirements for it to allow greater involvement of other national states. You can only fight the tide so long with a bucket and spade.
