Extractions: 06:01 PM Jun. 30, 1997 PT The US Commerce Department is asking for public comment on who should be the caretakers of the Internet's domain names and how to address crowding of certain domain-name spaces. "It is our hope that by creating a public record of the comments, all who are interested in resolving these issues can benefit from one another's thinking, and that this public record will itself further the process of agreement being reached on key issues," Larry Irving, assistant secretary of Commerce, said in a statement. Until 18 August, the administration will ask for public comment via email or snailmail on issues such as who should assign domain names when the National Science Foundation ends its agreement with Network Solutions, the current caretaker, in 1998. Also at issue is how to resolve trademark disputes, and whether or not to just retire the overpopulated .com domain altogether. An interagency task force is currently addressing these questions after the administration rejected parts of international guidelines unveiled this spring by the International Ad Hoc Committee.

Mineta announced the nation's proposed new Advanced Encryption Standard. Mineta named the Rijndael (pronounced Rhine-doll) data encryption formula as the winner of a three-year competition involving some of the world's leading cryptographers. "Once final, this standard will serve as a critical computer security tool supporting the rapid growth of electronic commerce," Mineta said. "This is a very significant step toward creating a more secure digital economy. It will allow e-commerce and e-government to flourish safely, creating new opportunities for all Americans," he said.

Extractions: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 Agency Hides Records on Arms to Foreign Buyers There is something very wrong inside the U.S. Commerce Department and it involves some of the most deadly weapons ever developed. In May 2002, I wrote an article on weapons sales taking place through the Commerce Department . The U.S. Commerce Department is not authorized to license military items for export. Weapons systems such as missiles, warships and fighter jets are by law licensed for export only through the State and Defense departments. Yet documents from the Commerce Department show that the agency in charge of civilian licenses was indeed heavily involved in foreign arms sales. For example, documents obtained from the Commerce Department office of John Huang clearly show that the agency pressed the United Arab Emirates, a very oil-rich nation, to purchase a wide variety of U.S. weapons.

In a recent Freedom of Information response, the Commerce Department decided not to disclose what a Chinese air force front company bought from America. According to the Commerce Department, the undersecretary for the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) has determined that "disclosure would not be in the national interest." "Information about export licenses and license applications that list China United Airlines as a consignee or end-user of the items exported under the export license, are protected from disclosure," wrote Barbara Fredericks, the Commerce Department assistant general counsel, in an April letter.

Extractions: 08:00 PM Dec. 27, 1996 PT The Commerce Department will likely release new rules Monday to control encryption exports and switch their jurisdiction from the State Department to the Commerce Department. In what appears to be a response to a ruling last week by a federal judge in San Francisco, the new rules exclude printed books containing encryption source code - for now. The judge struck down the Clinton administration's restrictions on the export of some forms of encryption software on the grounds that they violate free-speech rights. "In what might best be described as a 'wiseguy' exception to the new book rule, the notice specifically states that the government may yet decide to require export licenses for printed works that contain scannable encryption source or object code," said encryption lawyer
