IN BRIEF
Crash Media's first print issue will be released in the
middle of March. The list of articles above is poor fiction
and could be easily improved with your help. We are looking
for contributions in the form of text (opinionated
journalism, realism, spielism, fiction, scribblism), visual
material (faxed, scanned and finger-painted, posted and
pixellated, draw'n'dropped), cartoons, tricks, tips and DIY
handbooks. We are looking for the ten commandments of
communication war, the tip of the manifesto iceberg, the
unwell and unfair state, wormholes in the new economy,
sound systems for virtual communities, street scouting, and
media travellers.
Deadline for all material is the 20th February '98. We
favour text within the 500 to 800 word limit - and we envy
the capacity to make a strong point with 200 words! Scans
should be 300dpi and stuffed, send as attachments (MAC or
PC) - stamp-based mail is just as good. Currently we are
not able to pay contributors. Every contributor will
receive ten copies of Crash Media.
TECH-SPECS
Crash Media is for free and will be released bi-monthly as
of the middle of March. Printed on tabloid paper, each
issue will have a print run of 10.000. Crash Media is based
in Salford and London (UK). The first issue will consist of
8 or 12 pages, the following issues according to amount and
quality of contributions. Crash Media will be distributed
intensively in the North West of England and London, and
selectively world-wide. We are also open to any suggestions
for worthwhile locations.
Crash Media is a joint venture, defining the agenda of the
'Revolting' media lab in Manchester/ Salford UK in Aug/Sep,
and extending the voice of 'Skyscraper Digital Publishing'.
('Revolting' temp URL: http://www.art-bag.net/revolting)
Crash Media will be extended through a digital forum.
Threads generated in Crash Media on-line will be
selectively reprinted in the next issue. The public access
server in Manchester/ Salford will be set up over the next
few weeks and will host Crash Media - URL will follow
shortly, any domain name suggestions welcomed.

International Conference
cgem & the manchester international
centre for labour studies
globalisation & marginality:
work & identity in new europe
26-27 june 1998
call for papers:
the various transformations associated with globalisation have helped to
undermine the conventional idea of the nation state in which political cultural
and economic boundaries tend to coincide. in the era of nation states the
identity
and the role of the worker citizen and member of the nation closely overlapped.
the effect of globalisation has been to disaggregate this vital trinity.
the aim of this
conference is to bring together a variety of disciplinary insights into the new
identities and roles triggered by globalisation.
the conference will focus on 3 main themes:
labour
culture
political formations
proposals are invited for papers

Subject: pgMedia/Name.Space Comments on DoC DNS Proposal
Message-ID: <1325722081-3984871@MediaFilter.org>
PgMedia, Inc./Name.Space comments on the proposal released
on Friday, Jan. 30, 1998 by the US Department of Commerce
on the "privatization" of nameservice on the internet.
The working paper is up at the Department of Commerce site:
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/dnsdrft.htm
Although on the face of it, the DoC proposal on the "privatization" of the
internet namespace states that the US Government does not seek to regulate
the internet, the content of the proposal, if enacted as is, amounts to
regulation, "intentionally" or not.
Should any company that has invested in the development of its registry be
excluded from the marketplace by the implementation of the DoC proposal, it
would effectively be regulated or legislated out of business. Name.Space
was indeed the first to have a fully functional registry, the first to
automate and innovate the process of naming and registration, and
Name.Space was in existance well before the IAHC or the DoC's working
group, functioning in an otherwise
_unregulated market_. Other companies as well have invested in their own
right to have a stake in the marketplace, and they are now at risk, as well
as the users of the internet namespace who will be deprived their freedom
of speech through a Government-imposed limitation of the Global Internet
Namespace, and
held hostage to a cartel destined to fix prices in line with NSI's monopoly
pricing.
The DoC proposal confronts us with the issues that are currently before the
Federal Court, SDNY, in reference to pgMedia, Inc, d/b/a Name.Space vs.
NSI/NSF, which seeks precisely to determine, as a matter of law, whether
the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government has any such authority,
jurisdiction or power, to
determine the contents of the internet domain namespace, and even if it
does, then whether the exercise of that power limits free speech.
(http://name.space.xs2.net/law 2nd amended complaint).
PGMedia, Inc./Name.Space fully intends to persue the relief sought in its
action against NSI/NSF and will use all available means to achieve that goal.
The DoC proposal on its face is essentially flawed and displays either the
lack of a true understanding of the evolving nameservice market, or an
arrogant
move, jumping headlong on a course of openly legislating an increase in its
own jurisdiction, an appropriation of unconstitutionally collected "tax"
revenues,
(the 30% infrastructure fund as set forth in the Cooperative Agreement with
NSI), the even more patently unconstitutional grant of a "public" resource
to a private entity it creates (under the control of vested
non-governmental companies and individuals), and as if to fully ice the
unholy cake it has baked, the attempt to create five more monopolies to
simply aggravate the very root of the problem which prompted DOC's
involvement in the first place - dissatisfaction with NSI's monopoly. Are
we to accept a rule whereby the President can, without authorization from
Congress, dispossess a previously divested US Government resource and
create a new private company to establish extra-governmental regulation of
a previously unregulated industry?
Many of the issues raised in the DoC proposal related to innovation,
zone sharing of toplevel namespaces, freedom of expression, consumer
choice, diversity, and value-added services, are already in practice by the
Name.Space registry system which has been in service for a year and a half.
Others have
made their contributions as well. Legislating the pioneers and entrepeneurs
out of business to protect the "stablilty" of the (net)(income of NSI/SAIC,
and other vested non-governmental companies and individuals) is apparently
the goal of the proposal. In a slick chameleon game of smoke and mirrors,
passing the elusive spectre of authority from one agency to another, keeping
the same players but continually assigning them new names, the chain of
command remains unclear, so they would like you to believe...so IANA, tried
18 months ago to arrogate authority and was overrun with revolt---it
morphed into IAHC who, along with an acronym soup of other
quasi-governmental organizations who _approved their own authority_ and
_approved their own_ Memorandum of Understanding_ (MoU)---then morphed
again into iPOC and CORE and POC...all the
_same_folks_with_the_same_agenda_, with fresh new identities
assumed nearly every quarter to keep the public confused and detatched from
the issues....only to be sacked by the DoC, with perhaps a behind the
scenes constellation prize---then give it all "back" to IANA, this time
with a new name that we don't know yet....until their next spin-document is
sprayed out in anthrax-like fine aerosol mist into the ether of the media
and the net,
silently closing in to be inhaled inconspicuously as all eyes are on the
bombs falling on Iraq....
Meanwhile, NSI keeps its lucrative monopoly and the NSA keeps a close watch
on NSI's client database--the who's who of millions of domain name holders.
Not so far from giving the feds a back door to your crypto keys...That's next.
Since Name.Space has actually been operating its registry on a
constant basis for one and one half years, it has gained a
wealth of data and valuable experience on the desires of users
and their understanding and acceptance of the expansion of the
internet namespace. This is evidenced by the search query logs,
toplevel name requests, and actual registrations, and the use
of virtual hosts that respond to a diversity of names which users
all over the world have registered with our service. This data
is publicly available and should serve as a model for the direction
that independent providers can take on their own, without US Government
intervention, to ensure privacy, free speech, and to deliver services
that benefit the end users of the internet on a global basis.
PGMedia, Inc./Name.Space is committed to breaking up NSI's monopoly and
upholding the First Amendment by keeping the Government out
of the business of running the internet, and working with others to establish
a fair structure for Self Governance of the Global Internet Namespace as
set forth in its policy draft at http://name.space.xs2.net/policy
The DoC proposal will definitely stifle growth and innovation of the internet,
and is a clear violation of the First Amendment to the US Constitution in
that it limits Free Speech in the internet namespace. If it slips by,
don't say
you didn't know!
Sincerely,
Paul Garrin
