Write You - Internet Governance: A Disputed Domain
While training and observing groups as a corporate trainer and team builder over the past few years, I am always amazed at how a group of strangers gel and become a team in a matter of hours. Groups on teambuilding retreats can become closer to each other in one day than some people do in years of working with each other in offices. The major reason I attribute the success of these groups to and the way they gel is the use of “fun”.Plato said ”you can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Fun is also a great way to increase employe

We have all heard the old adage, "Never Assume," but, of course, we do it anyway. We run our lives on assumptions. When we drive to work we assume people on the other side of the road will stay there. We assume the paycheck will come on the expected day. We assume others will do their job or do what they say. We are always assuming. What "Never assume" really means is that we need to be aware of our assumptions and often, test them. This is of great importance to any organization that considers itself a learning organization.Some assumptions are purely our own, and others
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.

Unless you're escaping winter weather or otherwise simply escaping, holiday travel isn't generally a topic of choice. Images of crowded airports, long lines, security searches, screaming children, exasperated parents and bad food quickly come to mind. And really, unless you're soaring on good spirits because you're heading off on your Caribbean vacation, most travel is the same. Being as fun as it is, all of the little things that you can do to make attending your event easier are going to be appreciated by your International participants.A good way to make an early impress

You fill up your mug, jump in your car and head onto the dreaded commute of the day. Once you get to work chaos and more chaos surround you. Those half-an-hour breaks really don’t cut it anymore. By the time you get home late into the evening you really don’t have much time for anything but eating and sleeping which seems to keep adding to your waistline like your boss adds to your in box.When you were just starting your career the conventional wisdom stated that young professionals were expected to work, work more, and work like crazy until they grew that corporate ladder.

The safe practice of online credit card processing: 3 things event planners and their attendees should look for.It's fair to say that chasing up payments is on the list of life's most tedious and time consuming tasks. The advent of online credit card processing (instant transactions), has somewhat alleviated this for event organizers who use it as a benefit of online registration. Credit card use however, already carries its fair share of anxieties and asking people to hand over their digits online... even more so.The good news is that there are thre
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.
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
