  Summary of ICANN VI WG Proposals #icann @igfalert 

  Prof. Milton Mueller has, in a blog post entitled A new era in domain name economics?, summarized the various positions in the ICANN Vertical Integration Working Group. Resolution of VI question –  the degree of cross-ownership between registries and registrars –   is the one remaining outstanding block to the rollout of new gTLDs.

  • DAGv4 The Nairobi resolution. Zero cross ownership.

  * RACK The status quo. 15% limitations on cross-ownership.  No exceptions

  • Free Trade No limitations, but equal access

  • JN2+ No limitation on cross ownership. Registrars could not sell their registry owners TLDs. Exceptions for single registrant TLDs, community TLDs and Orphan TLDs.

  • Competition Authority Model Full cross-ownership allowed, subject to approval by a special panel.

  At present the JN2+ proposal is currently leading with 69% of the WG saying they could live with it. The WG is tasked with coming up with a solution before the ICANN board next meets in September.

  KeyWifi begins rollout in NYC #nyc #wi-fi 

  KeyWifi has announced it is alpha-testing its service in NYC.

  KeyWifi, similar to FON, is a scheme whereby subscribers can get paid for letting others access their Wi-Fi routers. Unlike FON, which involves purchasing an extra router, KeyWifi merely gives ‘suppliers’ an encryption key, which it then rents out to ‘users’ – a small number of the supplier’s neighbors. Users pay $9.89/mo to rent several keys. Suppliers get 2/3 of the resulting revenue.

  In a promotional video CEO Adam Black glosses over problems with ISP’s terms of service, saying “We are talking to them”.
