Signposts in Cyberspace
The Domain Name System (DNS) enables user-friendly alphanumeric namesâ€"domain namesâ€"to be assigned to Internet sites. Many of these names have gained economic, social, and political value, leading to conflicts over their ownership, especially names containing trademarked terms. Congress, in P.L. 105-305, directed the Department of Commerce to request the NRC to perform a study of these issues. When the study was initiated, steps were already underway to address the resolution of domain name conflicts, but the continued rapid expansion of the use of the Internet had raised a number of additional policy and technical issues. Furthermore, it became clear that the introduction of search engines and other tools for Internet navigation was affecting the DNS. Consequently, the study was expanded to include policy and technical issues related to the DNS in the context of Internet navigation. This report presents the NRC's assessment of the current state and future prospects of the DNS and Internet navigation, and its conclusions and recommendations concerning key technical and policy issues.
Internet Domain Names
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the distrib. set of databases residing in computers around the world that contain address numbers mapped to corresponding domain names, making it possible to send and receive messages and to access info. from computers anywhere on the Internet.

Contents of this report: Background and History; ICANN Basics: ICANN¿s Relationship with the U.S. Gov¿t.; Affirmation of Commitments; DOC Agree. with IANA and VeriSign; ICANN and the Internat.

Trends in Internet Research
The internet countries its wild and unpredictable growth and spread each year. Some good, some bad and a lot of uncertain. Porno has continued its grip on the cyberturf. Viruses have become so common that they have joined spam and identity robberies as the plagues of the net. This new book brings together the leading issues which have surfaced recently.
Global Customary International Law Index
This analytical monograph is a technical work on the concept of customary international law. We have covered the concept of a Global Customary International Law Index. Traditionally, customary international law is a field in which how states behave and make decisions, the old traditional way is not left unaccounted. In the era of globalization (fourth stage), the purpose of CIL is declining or saturating. It does not anyways mean the end of customary international law – because the transformation of the rules-based international order clearly suggests that there is ample scope for assessing the way international law is widely accepted and put into judicious use by the international community and the ‘subjects’ of international law. This monograph is divided into 9 chapters with a list of references. We have even included an emerging concept in public and private international law, entitled as Soft Law, and have dedicated a special chapter to it. This work is a part of the series of Global Customary International Law Index, a research initiative by Global Law Assembly, the member-organization of Indic Pacific Legal Research LLP.
Internet Governance
Internet Governance: Origins, Current Issues, and Future Possibilities deals with Internet governance and includes computer history, Internet beginnings, institutions and stakeholders, proposed models of governance, and human rights. The concept of Internet governance covers an exceptionally complex and rapidly changing field of norms and rules. Its origins and conflicts engage many disciplines and give rise to technical standards with contributions from a wide range of stakeholders. At the same time, the Internet has increasingly become the dominant reality for all the information processing industries. The ultimate goal of the book is to establish a foundation for identifying a new model o...
Generic Top-Level Domains
This topical book examines the regulatory framework for introducing generic Top-Level Domains on the Internet. Drawn up by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), these rules form part of a growing body of transnational private regulation, complementing national and international law. The book elucidates and discusses how ICANN has tackled a diverse set of economic and regulatory issues, including competition, consumer protection, property rights, procedural fairness, and the resolution of disputes.
Latin American Identity in Online Cultural Production
This volume provides an innovative and timely approach to a fast growing, yet still under-studied field in Latin American cultural production: digital online culture. It focuses on the transformations or continuations that cultural products and practices such as hypermedia fictions, net.art and online performance art, as well as blogs, films, databases and other genre-defying web-based projects, perform with respect to Latin American(ist) discourses, as well as their often contestatory positioning with respect to Western hegemonic discourses as they circulate online. The intellectual rationale for the volume is located at the crossroads of two, equally important, theoretical strands: theories of digital culture, in their majority the product of the anglophone academy; and contemporary debates on Latin American identity and culture.
How to Think about Information
It is common wisdom that the U.S. economy has adapted to losses in its manufacturing base because of the booming information sector, with high-paying jobs for everything from wireless networks to video games. We are told we live in the Information Age, in which communications networks and media and information services drive the larger economy. While the Information Age may have looked sunny in the beginning, as it has developed it looks increasingly ominous: its economy and benefits grow more and more centralized--and in the United States, it has become less and less subject to democratic oversight. Corporations around the world have identified the value of information and are now seeking t...
