During a meeting here at the Raffles City Convention Center in Singapore, ICANN’s board of directors voted 13-1 with one abstention, to approve its new gTLD program, receiving a standing ovation.

In January next year, essentially any organisation will be able to submit an application to ICANN for a virtually any gTLD, using the rules set down in a 300-page Applicant Guidebook.

It will cost a bare minimum of $185,000 per application – many organisations are expected to commit over $1m to their bids – and only one string will be permitted per application.

Many large companies are expected to apply for so-called “.brand” extensions – Canon and Hitachi have announced plans for .canon and .hitachi, for example.

Others will apply for potentially mass-market terms such as .music, .web, blog, .porn and .sport. Some, such as .bank, will likely be restricted to very narrow groups of registrants.

There will also be applications for geographic gTLDs – city domains such as .london, .nyc, and .berlin, or cultural identifiers such as .scot and .irish.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the program will enable the creation of domain extensions in non-Latin character sets, such as Arabic, Chinese, Greek and Cyrillic.

While ICANN’s decision was welcomed by almost everybody attending its 41st public meeting here in Singapore, the decision was still very controversial.

The resolution explicitly acknowledges that ICANN has overruled the wishes of national governments, represented by its Governmental Advisory Committee, for only the second time in its history.

The first time it did so, by approving the .xxx extension in March, it caused the US Department of Commerce to grant itself stricter oversight powers over ICANN, which it believes has started to act outside of the public interest.

The decision to approve the program today was also criticised by abstaining ICANN director Mike Silber, who said it was not ready yet and subject to “ego-drive deadlines”.

This is believed to be a reference to the fact that ICANN chairman Peter Dengate Thrush and director Rita Rodin Johnson – two of the program’s biggest cheerleaders – both see their terms on the board come to an end this Friday.

The Applicant Guidebook approved today, in its seventh draft, is also still subject to amendment.

Notably, ICANN has disregarded calls for it to develop a policy for providing support to applicants from developing nations before approving the program.

Today, such applicants are at a disadvantage, because they do not yet know how much a new gTLD application will cost them.

The ICANN resolution passed today calls for $2m to be set aside in seed funding for what amounts to an aid program, providing discounts to applicants from needy countries.

But there are currently no rules about which countries or applicants will qualify for this aid.

A working group has been tasked with developing such a policy, hopefully in time for ICANN’s next meeting in Dakar, Senegal, this October, but there are no guarantees it will be finished in time.

During a press conference today, ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom admitted it was possible that the January application date could arrive before these aid rules are finalized.

But based on the working groups’ preliminary reports, and the recommendations of the Governmental Advisory Committee, it seems likely that qualifying applicants will get a 76 per cent discount, to $44,000 per gTLD.

The current draft of the Applicant Guidebook is also going to be subject to immediate revisions following testy consultations between the ICANN board and the GAC this weekend.

These talks reached a low point yesterday when, during a stalemate in negotiations over trademark protection mechanisms, the European Commission GAC representative publicly described the debate as “a discussion between the deaf and the stupid”.

It was not clear which party was supposed to be deaf, and which stupid.

Studies have estimated as many as 500 new gTLD applications will be submitted in the first round. It is expected to take at least nine months to approve the easiest applications.

Others could take two years or more, and cost far more than the $185,000 base fee, due to the various objections and auction mechanisms that have been approved.

Due to the fact that multiple applications will be made for the same strings, the number of gTLDs that make it live onto the internet is expected to be around the 200 to 300 mark. ®

Yeah it took that long, mostly because whenever I opened my browser (firefox 2.0.0.3) I would get pop ups via IE browser. That is pretty hardcore.

So I did some more searching /pop ups galore slowing me down/ and found SpyHunter.exe and it said it would kill the SmitFraud. c Trojan. Well I downloaded it, installed it, and ran it. It showed me all the problems this frigging bug dropped in my PC. 14 different Registry changes, 8 .dll files and like 100+ known spyware apps. Fuck me!

I click the remove button and the BUY ME-Full Version button pops up for SpyHunter. and they wanted $30 – UGH! It never said anything about paying for it. Then I knew this must not be legit. Most fixes are from the concerned open source community.So I look up SpyHunter and find out they are working with SmitFraud.c in some way.

Great I just dumped more crap in my PC via a claim that they were the fix :(

So I hit the Spybot Search & Destroy forums (it was that program that couldn’t fix this Trojan

Some people are happy about the update and got a boost and some people are upset at the way the big G has changed (read made smarter) the alogo. I have to say that some of my sites that were PR 3 were all swatted down to PR 0. But the sites that I have been paying attention to and give a bit of linking action and content building have either gotten a boost from 0 to 3 or a body check and bumped down 1.

SEO is alive and well. Some people will tell you that doing SEO is not rocket science, but I and (others in this industry) would harshly disagree. To those who build out mini-sites on a regular basis or who work as a seo webmaster no, it is not rocket science, but what about the guy who doesn’t know what a HEADER 1 tag is? How about filling in a title so it doesn’t just say “New Document” –we have all see that one– Or how about Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)? Or Good keywords from Bad keywords, check out the free trial at Wordtracker for that one. Key an eye out for anchor text a and using Alt tags in Images. Getting your hands wet using Adwords; writing a good ad verses writing a bad ad.And let us all remember to use a very basic robot.txt file to let in the happy spiders, crawlers and bots that come looking and to keep out the bad ones (well, when they listen) So if you get it great if you don’t then SEO is still alive and a profitable biz to be in. There is so much more to list but you get the point. SEO can be a full time job r at the bare minimum it should be used on page.

Domain Names are going up for sale!!! Take a look over at the CAC2007 auction. Moniker has a 2 week silent auction running therefrom May 2nd until the 16th I believe. And they all the domains they are willing to look over for the NYC 2007 TRAFFIC auction i their hands right now as I type. Well, to be fair they had those all in bundle last week, because April 26th was the last day to submit names for that monster of a domain name auction. Domainers Galore are all very excited about this event that will be held on June 19th-22 and the LIVE Domain name auction hosted by Moniker will run on June 21. Come watch the bigtime NY spenders come and get their rich hands on some of the coolest, er hottest names in the biz. Then again if you know that domains are only going to get more and more valuable (at least iof you know what to look for) then you will be holding on to your names for a wee bit longer. Best of luck to those that have names moving into the live auction and for the rest who will be in the silent auction may your reserve be high so you don;t get screwed out of your domain name(s)

Have a great day and see ya soon. Oh yeah, if you don’t have a Second Life yet be sure to sign up using the link on the right side of this page. It’s free with the option to upgrade and there is a TON of business going on in this social networking 3D environment.
