Did you know that the company which owns and operates GoToMeeting has many more solutions. In particular let’s talk about the remote application delivery. What this means is that you can look at someone’s computer no matter where they are as long as they’re hooked up to the Internet. More importantly if you’re in information technology you have to diagnose problems on computers. But not only diagnosing problems you may just have to upgrade everyone to a new version of a particular software or put on software that they’ve never used before. What if you have 30 people in the office you would now have to run around get the computers bring them back one at a time try not to interrupt them and install the new software.

But with remote application delivery you can actually get into their computer and install the software they need sometimes while they are running. They would not even know you were there. You can install across everyone in your organization matter what floor of the building thereon or what country they are in. You can access your salesperson’s laptop to make sure that while they’re on the road to have the latest software or patches or you can fix what they currently have running. This is extremely helpful and can save huge IT costs.

ICANN is an international private-public partnership founded in 1998. ICANN is a non-profit. They manage the internet’s Domain Name System (DNS), including both generic (gTLD) and country code (ccTLD) Top-Level Domain names and the numeric address infrastructure. There are seven original gTLDs (.com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, .org) and in 2001 and 2002 more were added including four unsponsored (.biz, .info, .name, .pro) and three sponsored (.aero, .coop, .museum).

Sponsored sTLDs are limited to narrow communities for which the sponsor sets the rules generally. Since then several more were added (.asia, .cat, .jobs, .mobi, .travel). Each TLD has its own registry maintained by the registry operator.

As a user you will buy your domain name from a registrar who then send the information to the registry.

ICANN will be expanding the internet Domain Name System (DNS). At their recent annual meeting in Paris they decided to expand the languages and character sets for internationalized domain names. There will be a final version of the plan approved but not until first quarter 2009 and approved recommendations could take place as early as the second quarter 2009.

ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers was hacked.  Their domain names both ICANN.com and IANA.com were stolen and transferred to another party. Apparently someone wanted to make a point.

You need to call upon the UDCP when you have a domain name dispute. All registrars in the .biz,.com, .info, .name, .net, and .org top-level domains follow the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDCP).

Registrars typically will not do anything unless there is a court action or arbitration, particularly if there are trademark issues.

If you have an issue you are probably looking to have a domain canceled, suspended, or transfer a domain name.

So what do you do? Well if you are a Trademark holder you can (a) file a complaint in a court of proper jurisdiction against the domain-name holder (or where appropriate an in-rem action concerning the domain name) or (b) in cases of abusive registration submit a complaint to an approved dispute-resolution service provider.
