3/22    Is there a place that has the definite rule on domain names?
        I certainly googled and got information that are clearly wrong
        such as .gov can be used by any countries government, or contradictory
        (a domain name can or cannot start with a number).  It does not seem
        to be on http://internic.net or http://icann.org either, surprisingly.
        \_ This is the most political arena on the internet. Read
           these proceedings for a taste of it:
           http://forum.icann.org/mtg-cmts/stld-rfp-comments/general/index.html
           \_ Does this mean there is no official rule yet??  Just a loose
              set of mutual understanding between different regions and
              operators?  So I might be able to register a domain with some
              oddity at one registrar yet it is unusable globally and outright
              technically illegal in the future?
              \_ It's not "illegal" unless by national laws.  Disputes are
                 handled by WIPO or other arbitration bodies.  -John
              \_ If it is properly registered, it should be usable globally.
                 Hard to say what will happen in the future, though all
                 the registrars tend to have grandfathered in the old
                 stuff, unless some multi-national wants it.

8/25    What's the best way to get a domain name that is about to expire?
        \_ It's called backordering.  It used to be fixed priced but now
           they're trying to auction them.  Still a good deal though.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

ICANN is selecting a team of outside technical, business/financial and legal advisors to assist it in its review of sTLD applications. The panel members will be required to evaluate responses to the criteria and questions posted in the sTLD application procedure. The panel members will be selected based on their experience, talent and skills as they apply to the evaluation task.
