TAXI TO INVERNESS? WILL YOU TAKE A CZECH?Thus read a headline in a national newspaper earlier this week. These new taxi drivers from the Czech Republic are not only learning English, before they come to the UK, but 'The Knowledge' too, the 'bible' for taxi drivers. Are the British cabbies at home learning Czech or French or German?This is one phenomenon of the expanded EU, people moving all around Europe, working and living away from their homelands. The UK's shortage of skilled workers is acute, we won't speculate on the reasons - the fact is that many of our skille

In an attempt to systematize internet governance, former US President Bill Clinton established the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)in the 1990s. ICANN is a very technical body mandated with ensuring that the net function in a stable and secure manner by managing the net's domain name system. It is the organization responsible for designating domain names like .com, .net, and .org.
In 2000, the ICANN approved the registering of seven more domain names like .biz and .info after receiving massive request and prodding for more domain names from the net community. Even up to this day, there is still much pressure for ICANN to approve the creation of additional domain name extensions. The pressure is high since the domain name registry business presents a very lucrative opportunity to collect annual registration fees for potentially millions of new domain names. Domain name registrars demand for more domains to accommodate the increasing influx of new products and service being sold through the internet.
ICANN has been hard on this demand, fearing that the existence of new top-level domains and extensions will drastically affect the reliability of the internet. And this reluctance has put ICANN in a lot of troubles with different parties.
The most recent controversy involving ICANN was the .xxx issue. In 2004, the ICM Registry (US-based) collaborated with the Canadian-based International Foundation for Online Responsibility to propose the creation of .xxx. The proposed new top-level domain is aimed at better classifying websites and web contents for millions of internet user around the world. The proponents said that a .xxx domain extension will give a clear message to net surfers that sites with that domain extension contain adult materials of sexual nature.

Textile manufacturing is perhaps one of the oldest known industries in India. It was in existence since the beginning of civilization, although a crude methodology has been used then. The total contribution towards textiles manufacturing in our country is approximately 20% of country’s industrial production and is also treated as the backbone of economy. This contribution is about 1/3rd of the foreign exchange earned by the government.The textile engineering industries have reviewed the status of technologies being used in India and has recommended major changes to the Indi

As a newbee to eBay I sold a LOT of things. I looked around our farm and I found a TON of stuff that I was interested in getting rid of. Old metals, seeds, wood, cattle, dogs, wife...(well, truth is she got rid of me first, but that's another story..)But you know, after awhile I got tired of the hassle of packaging and posting everything. Then one day I was looking at a piece of metal called brass shim stock and a bell went off inside my head! You see, brass shim stock is mostly used in machine shops to adjust tooling, but I remembered my grandmother using it to make decora

The music industry is very well aware of what the Grammy Award does, as well as the musicians who may be nominated. Those that work in television know the value of an Emmy Award. Hollywood and their movies are filled with awards, from the People’s Choice to the Oscar’s and everything in between. Even though each of these awards renders something different within each separate genre, they all hold a common ground. They all translate into honor and prestige for the recipient, making one stand out amongst the masses of their peers.College football has the Heisman Trophy, p

Further, the move initiated by the ICM is for consenting legal-age patrons of adult entertainment to have greater online experience, for adult entertainment providers to be able to identify themselves as legal for greater customer retention, better complaints resolution, and as a proactive step for them to instill responsibility and accountability for their actions. Also, the proposal for a .xxx domain extension is seen to benefit individuals or families wanting to avoid adult content. Surfers can easily filter websites with adult contents just by merely looking at the extension names.
After about a year, the ICANN publicly announced that it had entered into commercial and technical dealings leading to the creation of .xxx domain. The US government was quick to respond to this surprising move and asked the ICANN to delay the final approval for the creation of .xxx after various sectors loudly aired their opposition to it.
Although many countries lauded the decision to put a halt in the creation of .xxx and give way for multi-lateral consultation, a clear, steering issue boiled and steamed out. The international community raised concern of American hegemony in the internet governance. The *European Union* is clear in its stance that the .xxx case is a crystal-clear proof of government intervention in the policies of ICANN. This, the EU says, is unacceptable to sovereign governments who are relying on ICANN for the control of their websites like UK's .uk.
With the .xxx controversy still unresolved, the ICANN is now faced with yet another crucial issue. The international community has demanded that internet governance be transferred from ICANN to a neutral, political intervention-free body. This has been prompted by the fear of American government's strong political influence on the policies of ICANN. Also a concern is the slow action, if not complete inaction, of ICANN on the proposal to have a multi-lingual domain system that would allow citizens of different countries to register domain names in their native language.
With many governments using the internet to deliver services to their citizens, internet governance and its autonomy from a suspected American hegemony is a hotly contested and very le
