The White House wants help and so does ICANN; could it be you?
- Image via Wikipedia
ICANN is searching for applicants from the Internet user community to occupy a seat on their Board of Directors.
They hope to fill this position with those who may be interested in helping to develop policy, and are able to serve on ICANN’s Board of Directors.
If you are reading this, you may qualify. Here are the requirements: you must be an Internet user who does not represent a particular government, corporate or non-profit entity.
You will be the voice for the average everyday Internet user and try to represent the view of individuals who often simply feel they don’t have a voice in policy formation.
You should have a broad international perspective and a background in Internet users’ interests, consumer policy and/or civil society worldwide.
If you are interested, you can obtain more information by writing ICANN’s Board Candidate Evaluation Committee at BCEC-Request@icann.org. The deadline to apply for the “At-Large Board seat” is September 6, 2010.
Just think, soon after taking your new position at ICANN, you may have to help out the US Government.
The White House has asked ICANN (and other entities) for a meeting to discuss illegal online pharmacies.
ICANN and other companies were asked to send a representative to a meeting on this issue on September 29.
The ICANN new board member deadline is September 6, so barring a long interview and hiring time frame, you should have a good week to 10 days to “get your feet wet” at ICANN then jam over to the White House and cure their ills next.
I almost think I see a “Nobel” prize of some sort on the horizon for you next!
Registrars are catching heat for failing to control the activity on domain names registered with them, and eNom in particular has been singled out.
ENom, who is essentially the world’s second-largest domain name registrar, has been accused recently of playing host to an inordinate amount of what could be described as “malicious” websites.
Possibly coincidentally, ENom seems to be the preferred domain name registrar for pharmaceutical spammers as well.
ICANN is currently looking into the issue and awaiting eNom’s response with regard to questions about some eNom resellers who seem to be violating ICANN rules. They are accused of allowing customers to provide false Whois database information, not following ICANN deletion policy and not in compliance with reseller obligations.
ICANN’s main concerns are centered around the idea that scammers are abusing the domain name registration system to hide domain name servers to make it difficult to put illegal networks of hacked, botnet computers out of operation.
This is a great issue to show ICANN how you can help, and get in good with the White House.
So get your applications submitted and think about how you can help ICANN, the White House and maybe even eNom get through this rough time.

This “crash course” in business-to-business marketing is an excellent introduction for the newcomer and a worthwhile refresher for the veteran. Barry Silverstein is convinced that the Internet will soon replace direct mail as the primary vehicle for business-to-business direct marketing. Silverstein doesn’t promote spam, but discusses how the Internet has changed marketing and how principles of sound direct marketing can be applied to the Internet in fresh ways.
Silverstein presents dozens of techniques than can be applied to five major strategies, each invaluable in building business profitability. The first is a set of techniques for generating and qualifying leads online. Next, he demonstrates approaches to using Internet events as means to promote products and services. Then he discusses using the Internet’s advantages in delivering instant-fulfillment service. The ins and outs of generating orders over the Net come next, followed by the means of using the Internet to build and solidify relationships with your customers. Silverstein backs up his points with excellent real-world examples and a variety of case studies. He closes his presentation with an action plan to help you put his techniques to work in your organization. A series of appendices guides you to additional resources. –Elizabeth Lewis
