Chile advances on the Migration of IPV6
Next Thursday August 12th, NIC Labs, Laboratory dependent of NIC Chile, will have a seminar presenting the project of Ipv6 for Chile at the Universidad de Chile.
This initiative private-public unites relevant local technological actors and will conduct the upgrade of the Chilean Internet network and their interconnection using the new Ipv6 protocols, technology designed to increase IP addresses availability in the global network, and it will entail the biggest reconfiguration of the Internet since its beginnings.
The subject is not minor since it had already been informed that only 10% of the addresses had not been assigned under the old protocol IPv4 (www.nro.net).
The implementation of IPv6 is a key factor for the development of the Internet since it will allow the network to support billions of people and machines to connect to it in the future.

ICANN ON CARTAGENA DE INDIAS - DECEMBER 2010
During the 2010 Colombian will be triply proud:
First of all, one of the most beautiful cities of Colombia was chosen to have the ICANN meeting between December 5th and 10th: Cartagena of Indies.
Cartagena of Indies was founded in 1533 by Pedro Heredia in one of the most beautiful bays of America. Because of its commercial importance was attacked by the French pirate Roberto Baal and during the next years, Cartagena new many attacks by Juan Hawkins, Juan and Martin Côté brothers and Francis Drake.
The kings of Spain sent to build Castles, fortresses and walls to border the city, at the end Cartagena had 11 kilometers that protected the city, the castle of San Felipe de Barajas, constructed to confront ground attacks, fortress like San Sebastian de Pastelillo, the battery of San Angel in Bomb Earth, the fortress of San Fernando and the battery of San Jose in Bocachica.
Other outstanding religious architecture building are the Cathedral, the Church and the San Pedro Claver Cloister, the Santo Domingo Church and the Popa Monastery constructed in the beginning of XVII century at the top of a hill, the Palace of Inquisition, the Square of the Tombs and the Gold Museum.
This fortified city, with its pirate stories, golden beaches, its colonial architecture and its squares, its cultural festivals, its great variety of food and its pleasant weather around 28ºC is the ideal place to celebrate the last ICANN of the year.
In second place July 20th the domain .CO is launch for general registration.
The extension .CO will open new spaces for those that could not register their .COM domains enriching worldwide the offering of domain in the cyberspace.
Last but not least, the same day the domain .CO is launch to General Public, Colombia celebrates 200 years of the Declaration of Independence.
The story of the first Independence shout is very interesting and starts with the borrowing of a vase which was denied.
In the year 1810 a well known group of Creoles of Santa Fe (today Bogotá) looks for a way to disturb the public order and therefore seize the Spanish power.
Mr. Antonio Morales proposed to borrow a vase from one of the most known Spanish traders, Mr. Jose Gonzalez-Llorente, to be used in the party in honor of Captain of the Real Army. Mr. Luis Rubio offered himself.
The refusal of the Spanish trader to lend the vase would make an argument and if he decided to lend the vase or refused politely, another Creole would enter the store and greet the trader which would start critics and an argument from Mr. Luis Rubio’s side.
On July 20th 1810, day of market in the square, Mr. Luis Rubio asks for the vase and Mr. Jose Gonzalez-Llorente politely refused that with so many lending the vase had deteriorated and lost its worthiness. Then, another Creole enters and greets the Spanish trader provoking huge critics from Mr. Luis Rubio, and an argument starts. Quickly all the conspiracy start screaming in the Square: They are insulting the Americans! We want meeting! We want Counsel! Down the bad government!
This comes to be the first Independence Shout from the until that moment incipient Colombian Nation.

NIC Colombia Interview.
NameAction visited Colombia to follow closely the process of registration of domain there.
Juan Diego Calle (General Manager), Eduardo Santoyo (Vice-president of Corporate affairs) and Nicolai Bezsonoff (Vice-president of Operations) of NIC Colombia had the kindness of receiving us and respond our questions.
Here we are transcribing the interview made on February 25th 2010.
1.- How many new domain name have been registered since the opening of domains .com.co and how many you expect to register in the first year?
Since the opening of domains .com.co we have registered 4.000 domains and expect to register 400.000 during the first year.
2.- How was the process of registration during this stage?
We believe it was good, the peak of 3rd level domains was a pleasant surprise. On the other hand the lack of accredited registrars was not good since it increased the prices because of lack of competition. From the 9 accredited registrars, only 3 participated: GoDaddy, my.com.co and InternetX.
3.- Is it possible to know the proportion of companied from Latin America, USA and Europe?
At least half of the companies were Latin and mainly Colombians.
4.- Why people needs to register their domain .CO?
The answer is in 3 ideas we use here constantly:
I.- The .CO is a global domain, with this we mean that it is distributed globally by the main net registrars.
II.- It has recognition, is intuitive and globally legible.
III.- The .CO has credibility.
In more than 20 ccTLD´s the .CO is sued as part of the domain, practically in every continent there is one .CO.
The letters .CO are known around the world and they have a significance. In a survey made to 600 people in the United States where the question was, what does .CO signifies? 75% responded “Company”.
It is not necessary to sell .CO as synonym of “Company”, it has immediate recognition. Additionally .CO means the same thing in the main languages.
Also, .CO has a lot of technical credibility since it has the support of a strong, solid and with a lot of experience company like Neustar that already operates domains like .BIZ, .Travel, etc.
There is a policy of keeping the domain clean and a technical operation top of the line.
The management policies also give credibility to the .CO since they have been adjusted to the international setting. The management is regulated by the Ministry of Communication.
5.- Which is your main market?
There are 2 products:
I.- Global product which is the new domain under second level .CO.
The focus is to search for small and medium companies that are starting on the Internet, at the time of registering their domain, to give priority to .CO over other extensions.
II.- Product for Colombia .COM.CO.
The idea is that this extension works for local companies like dentists or others for which the .COM.CO is perfect.
6.- How does cybersquatting gets solved?
There are various tools that help in this subject.
I.- Have a group of registrars that have control points.
II.- A higher price that demotivates piracy.
III.- A policy that punishes false information on a domain. If there is false information the domain can be cancel.
IV.- A robust WHOIS that prevents anonymity and allows visibility for the registrant.
V.- The UDRP (Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy) allows to recover the domain through arbitration.
VI.- Through the regulations approved by the Ministry a person that tries to damage a third party is punished with the domains cancellation and also allows to go to civil courts.
7.- Will ICANN be in Cartagena this year?
There is interest. The proposal to have ICANN in Cartagena was already presented because it is congruent with the new era of the .CO, plus there has never been an ICANN in Colombia.
The technical evaluation of Cartagena was already made and it fulfilled all the requirements.
This will be define in Nairobi.
