cybersquatters and icann

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) held meetings this past week to review their practices, and to possibly reorganize their own structure. Some issues that they were considering addressing were geared towards helping businesses and people "fight extortion by speculators, known as cybersquatters." A great number of other topics were addressed, and there is coverage on many of those in the ICANN blog and ICANN Watch. (It might take a while to wade through all of these.)
