Today mark the publication of RFC 3743. aka JET IDN Guideline. A work I started in the Joint Engineering Team (JET) after realizing that it is not possible to handle traditional and simplified ideographs within the IDN protocol in 2001. To certain extend, ICANN’s Guideline for IDN is based on this work. Phew..it been a […]

10 new sponsored TLDs
ICANN is seeking comments about the 10 new sponsored TLDs (via Paul Hoffman). Let me give my five cent worth: First, the evaluation of sponsored TLDs should be based on the appropriateness of sponsors1. Whether it is ‘useful’ or ‘useless’ to the Internet shouldn’t be a factor since one’s rubbish is another gem. This is […]
SIP SIP SIP
I have a very interesting dinner last night with Michael Robertson and Jeff Bonforte, CEO and President of SIPPhone.com respectively. Most people will know Michael as the founder of MP3.com and Lindows. They are in town for their big announcement with Singtel. (Yes, 1-747-xxx-xxxx will be routed from Singapore soon :-) It is a social […]
Email on any devices
Took me quite a few weekends but I finally ported my mails on a (Courier) IMAP server with Qmail, Spamassassin and TMDA. (anti-virus not up yet tho…). It feels damn good to know I can access 5 years of e-mail on any machines and devices: from my desktop, my notebooks, powerbook and even my Sharp […]

More on Internet Peering…
A friend email me asking why ITU-T SG3 is not suitable to handle the issues of Internet Peering. He pointed out that while there are technology differences, the economics and policies should be fairly similar given they are both bilteral arrangement. I beg to differ. Lets take a detour: When User 1 on carrier A […]
OASIS FWSI TC
I have a long breakfast with Patrick Gannon, CEO of OASIS regarding the progress made by the FWSI TC or Framework for Web Services Implementation1 Technical Committee. Both of us are have high hopes for TC. You see, if WS is to be the become the infrastructure-platform where machine-to-machine communicates to each another, then what […]
Living on the edge…
Today is a lousy day: a demo I was doing on some new technology was a disaster. The same setup works fine before the demo but somehow, it just refused to work on the critical moment. And we have some very senior folks within the group! I feel pretty crappy…:-( This feeling wasn’t really new […]
Internet Peering
Internet Peering is one of the stuff that has been on the back of my mind. I have several long conversations with many people, such as Bill Woodcock and Bill Norton, over the last year trying to get a grasp of the issues. The problem is easy to frame but the solution is not so […]
