QUOTE OF THE MONTH
"We have failed in the one thing we were supposed to talk
about -- who is actually going to sit on the new domain-name
board. Are we not an appropriate body to suggest some names,
or are we going to let the U.S. decide everything?"
-- Siegfried Langenbach, German Network Information Centre,
on the European response to the U.S. proposals for the
future of domain names.

NEWS FROM ISOC
* SUMMIT FOR DISCUSSING STRUCTURE OF NEW IANA SET TO FOLLOW
INET'98
Stakeholders, policy makers, and Internet leaders from
throughout the world will participate in a major Internet
summit organized by the International Forum on the White
Paper (IFWP), of whose steering committee ISOC is a member,
to establish a global consensus on the future of the
Internet's domain naming system. Representatives from more
than 120 countries are expected to discuss the next major
steps needed to assist in the definition and development of
a nonprofit corporation -- the new IANA, or Internet
Assigned Names Authority -- to administer the Internet
domain names, addresses, and other parameters required in
the proper functioning of Internet protocols.
Speakers addressing the issue of the new IANA include Jon
Postel, director of the current IANA, and Ira Magaziner,
senior advisor on U.S. Internet policy to President Clinton.
Professor Tamar Frankel will report on the results of the
IFWP Reston meeting and Christopher Wilkinson will report on
the results of the 7 July meeting in Brussels.
For more information, see http://www.isoc.org.
* NDSS CALL FOR PAPERS ISSUED
Technical papers and panel proposals are invited for the
Internet Society's 1999 Network and Distributed System
Security Symposium (NDSS'99), scheduled for 3-5 February
1999 in San Diego, California. The symposium will foster
information exchange among hardware and software developers
of network and distributed system security services. The
audience includes those who are interested in the practical
aspects of network and distributed system security, focusing
on actual system design and implementation rather than
theory. A major goal of the symposium is to encourage and
enable the Internet community to apply, deploy, and advance
the state of available security technology. The deadline for
electronic submission is 31 July 1998. The complete call is
available at http://www.isoc.org/ndss99/.

NETWORK NEWS
* EUROPEAN DOMAIN NAME MEETING ENDS WITHOUT CONSENSUS
Representatives of the European private sector and other
Internet participants met in Brussels, Belgium, on 7 July,
to address the critical issues arising as the result of the
U.S. government's so-called White Paper on the future
management and allocation of Internet domain names. Hosted
by the European Commission, meeting participants aimed to
make headway in the designation of an internationally
representative Interim Board of Directors and the
preparation of the Articles of Association for a new
corporation to oversee the management and allocation of
Internet domain name activities. Although a board was not
established, consensus was reached on several issues,
including full participation in an appropriately constituted
international meeting to follow INET'98 in Geneva. The
European Commission is encouraging the private sector in the
EU to take up the global implementation of Internet
management policies and structures, within the broad policy
framework provided by the EU Reply and the U.S. White Paper.
The meeting's Web page is at
http://www.ispo.cec.be/eif/dns/wpmeet.html
and its conclusions are at
http://www.ispo.cec.be/eif/dns/conclusions.html

DOMAIN NAME LAW MAY FAVOR BIG BUSINESS
A study conducted by Milton Mueller, director of Syracuse
University's Graduate Program in Telecommunications and
Network Management, concludes that domain name disputes are
being linked too closely to trademark law and that judges
are handing too much power to big trademark holders online.
According to the study, while some disputes over domain
names belong in trademark court, most cases don't fit the
legal guidelines. "Our conclusion is that judges are
frequently misapplying the law, because of an imperfect
understanding of domain names and their economic and
technical characteristics," Mueller said in an interview
with TechWeb. Mueller studied 121 domain-name fights that
had reached the courts. (TechWeb, 25 June 1998)
* EUROPEAN UNION PROPOSES TO TAX ELECTRONIC GOODS AS
SERVICES
The European Union released a policy statement announcing
that the sale of digital products online will be subjected
to tax in the same way as services are. The policy, which is
up for debate among the 15 member countries of the EU,
proposes that the Value Added Tax will differentiate between
the supply of goods and the provision of services. With
regard to electronic commerce, goods that are sold virtually
will be considered in the same tax bracket as the provision
of a service. For more information, see
http://www.eurunion.org/websites/index.htm. (NUA Internet
Surveys, 29 June 1998)
* FRANCE SETTLES FIGHT OVER SCHOOL NET ACCESS
The French government stepped in last month to resolve the
dispute blocking its program to link all of France's 70,000
schools to the Internet. State-owned France Telecom said it
would lower the connection rates for rival Internet access
providers. (TechWeb, 26 June 1998)

RESEARCH REPORTER
* CORPORATE ASIA WIRED
According to an IDC Asia/Pacific survey, 75 percent of top
companies in Asia now host Web sites, a figure that has more
than doubled since the last IDC survey conducted in October
of 1997. Along with a 57 percent increase in Web sites, IDC
also checked the quality and range of online service. They
found all areas showing improvement, with companies now
showing company financial information, providing online
customer support, and using online registration facilities.
Asia's top 1,000 corporations, ranked in terms of sales
revenue, were studied. In the United States, 81 percent of
American companies with more than 100 employees have Web
sites. See

NEW ISOC ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS
* CENTRAAL CORPORATION
A start-up based in Palo Alto, California, with founders
from England and France, Centraal Corporation is a second-
generation Web navigation services company. The company
offers the Internet community natural language Web
navigation -- with a product called RealName (sm) -- with an
aim to partner ubiquitously with the browser companies and
major search engine sites to provide precision navigation of
the Web, in any language, without URLs. The company's
founders believe that a natural language Web navigation
mechanism for the entire Internet community has value and
utility. They further believe that new Internet users will
have a much easier introduction to the Web if they can use
natural language addresses rather than URLs. For more
information, see http://www.centraal.com.
* THE FANTASTIC CORPORATION
The Fantastic Corporation is the leading provider of
Broadband Multimedia software, an IP-based broadcasting
software designed for distributing multimedia content over
high-speed networks (such as satellite, cable, ADSL, and
digital terrestrial) to PCs and set-top boxes. Fantastic is
the first company dedicated to developing the technology and
the market for Broadband Multimedia. The company is working
to bring the Internet concept to a new level, leveraging
existing Internet technologies to advance Broadband
Multimedia applications. Fantastic also supports the
convergence of the PC and TV worlds to bring better and
faster content to users. The company's membership in the
Internet Society allows it to stay up to date on industry
developments. For more information, see
http://www.fantastic.ch.
* THE INTERNET MAIL CONSORTIUM
The Internet Mail Consortium is the only international
organization focused on cooperatively managing and promoting
the rapidly expanding world of electronic mail on the
Internet. The goals of the IMC include greatly expanding the
role of mail on the Internet into areas such as commerce and
entertainment, advancing new Internet mail technologies, and
making it easier for all Internet users, particularly
novices, to get the most out of this growing communications
medium. IMC has been strong supporters of the IETF process
since its inception. Further, it believes that mail will be
the most-used service of developing countries as they come
to the Internet. Because ISOC supports both of those areas,
IMC wants to support ISOC with its membership. For more
information, see http://www.imc.org.
