The creation of this extension will give even more strength to the idea of creating new secure spaces in the virtual world through restricted domains that will allow more security for users.

Brazil already adopted this idea creating the extension “B.BR” that can only be used by financial entities that accredit a high level of security against virtual fraud.

Some weeks ago the national government and banks that operate in the country started to work on the creation of this extension oriented specifically for Argentinean Banking activities, with the objective of reducing virtual defraud cases, known as “phishing”.

“Phishing” is the capacity of duplicating a web site to make the visitor think that the web site is the original, instead of the forged. The idea of the mislead is to acquire confidential information of the user, like password, credit card or financial/banking information.

The criminals take advantage of the expansion of the Net, formed by millions of users, where the target never gets exhausted. However, phishing frauds have become more sophisticated and the criminals have developed “a threat thought for each user (thought for each user)”: The banking fraud is the most usual professional computing crime. The criminals attack the system in their weaker link: the client, or now even more, its personal computer.

Rick Latona points out “finally real competition to .com”. “After all, .com means (commercial) where .co traditionally means Company. In many ways .co makes more sense than .com for a company´s domain name”.

The before mentioned means that current web address of Facebook is www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123454549 will be able to create a
new user name as for example: “peterblue” and obtain a new web address
on the internet that will be www.facebook.com/peterblue. This address will be
much easier to remember and more visible on the Internet.

The user names will be based on “First come - first served” and must be
picked with caution since afterwards it can not be changed.

If you created an account on Facebook after May 31st 2009 you will not be
able to request your user name immediately, to avoid abuses.

If you are worried about your Trademark and want to prevent it from being
used as user name you may go to the following site to prevent its use:

Newspaper “El Clarín” informed yesterday that the Government is preparing a new procedure to solve faster domain names disputes under .com.ar.

The new procedure will come into force in about two months.

The new regulation will allow NIC Argentina to determine who the owner of a domain in conflict will be, until today, normally, it was necessary to appeal at a court.

How will it works? If a person is trying to register his trademark and the domain name is taken, this person can complain to NIC Argentina. NIC Argentina will contact the actual owner of the domain name and ask for document for support, after this NIC will decide if it approve or denies the initial registration. The procedure will be free and it will take no more than two weeks.

Until now, only famous people and well known companies were protected by this procedure because NIC Argentina does not allow the registration of famous names without the corresponding authorization.

The new procedures intends extending to protect all kinds of trademarks and companies.

This project is very advanced and it is only waiting for the presidential authorization.

The basis for this decision are the following:

- Article 1.071 from the Argentinean Civil Code, which establishes “… The law does not protect the abusive exercise of the rights. This considers those who exceed the limits impose by the good faith, moral and good behavior”.

- The increasing Internet community, pretending to access domains which are adequate to their necessities are found to be limited by a natural person or company who register domains merely by speculative reasons.

- 25% of the total of domains registered have been requested by a 0.17% of the entities registered in NIC Argentina.

Entities with more than 200 domains.

From the publication of this present Resolution on the Official Bulletin, the entities (Entidad Registrante) with more than TWO HUNDRED (200) registered domains:

Will not be able to register new domains.
Will not be able to receive transfers from third parties.
Will be able to renew up to TWO HUNDRED (200) of the registered domains.

This limitation is applicable to the pending requests, which will be deleted insofar as the requests made by the entities (Entidad Registrante) which already have registered TWO HUNDRED (200) or more domains.

Extension of the Limit:

In case an entity (Entidad Registrante) needs to register more than the limit TWO HUNDRED (200) domain names, must send a letter to NIC Argentina for each new domain, where it should base the necessity of the additional domain over the establish limit and declaring the legitimate interest, goods and services with that name, or if it is known publicly under that name.

Those domains given over the limit of the TWO HUNDRED (200) domains (exceptions) will not be able to be transferred to a third party.

The new administrator will be in charge of promotions, management and technical operations for the domains .CO although the Ministry will have under its responsibility the definition of politics, control of the activities and the surveillance of domains .CO.

Second level domain will be approved, therefore directly under .CO, for example business.co. Also, it is said that the cost of the domains .CO could go down in an 80%.

After the selection of the administrator of domain.co, starts the approval from the responsible entity of the coordination of the worlds domain names system (ICANN) so that the politics approved by the Ministry of Communications come to effect.
