		<description><![CDATA[This week, Thomas Barrett - the President of US based registrar EnCirca - published a timely article about how the registrar cash flow model could collapse with the imminent release of hundreds of new Top-Level Domains (TLD). I would like to thank Thomas for raising this important issue and for encouraging all new TLD applicants to discuss this topic with their back-end registry provider. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20130206_the_favoured_new_tld_registrar_payment_model">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Brussels Mandate: Community-Developed Tmch Gains Ascendancy (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[ICANN has tentatively agreed to proceed with the community-developed Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) model following two days of discussions at a specially organised informal meeting in Brussels last week. I believe this is an important breakthrough for the intellectual property, registry and registrar communities as it provides the best harmony between technical implementation and best practice trademark protection policy. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20121107_brussels_mandate_community_developed_tmch_gains_ascendancy">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Community Support Required for Alternative Trademark Clearinghouse Solution (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[It's time for the community to demonstrate its resolve to see ICANN implement a successful and effective Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). Let's be clear here. The current ICANN implementation model and approach is flawed and needs attention. Following more than three months of consultation and negotiation, today I'm pleased to be able to present the domain name and trademark protection industries with an alternative solution for the operation of ICANN's Trademark Clearinghouse for the new Top-Level Domain (TLD) program. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20120926_alternative_trademark_clearinghouse_solution">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> An ITU Cut and Paste Job for New TLDs Could Cost $150k (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsan_itu_cut_and_paste_job_for_new_tlds_could_cost_150k</link>
		<description><![CDATA[It was with great interest that I read a <a href="http://domainincite.com/wiki-to-shake-up-the-new-gtld-market/">recent announcement</a> about a plan by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to publish template answers on a wiki for the 22 questions relating to registry technical operations contained within ICANN's new Top-Level Domain Applicant Guidebook. As someone who has spent the best part of six years following the development of the program (witnessing first-hand each evolution of the Applicant Guidebook) my first thought was one of bemusement... <a href="https://circleid.com/postsan_itu_cut_and_paste_job_for_new_tlds_could_cost_150k">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> DNSSEC is But One Link in the Security Chain (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20100714_dnssec_is_but_one_link_in_the_security_chain</link>
		<description><![CDATA[As the implementation of DNSSEC continues to gather momentum and with a number of ccTLDs, and the '.org' gTLD having deployed it into their production systems, I think it is worth pausing to take a look at the entire DNSSEC situation. Whilst it is absolutely clear that DNSSEC is a significant step forward in terms of securing the DNS, it is but one link in the security chain and is therefore not, in itself, a comprehensive solution to fully securing the DNS system. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20100714_dnssec_is_but_one_link_in_the_security_chain">More...</a>]]></description>
