ICANN Clears It's Position On Websites Taken Down Recently

ICANN recently published a blog post explaining it's position on recent web site closures by ICE. ICANN stated that;

does not take down domain names – we have no technical or legal authority to do that. We have no involvement in the takedown of any website, which is an issue of national authority. ICANN knew nothing about this enforcement action until after the fact

ICANN Doesn’t Take Down Websites

New Free SIP Phones (SoftPhones), OfficeSIP Messenger And Flash2VoIP.

Free SIP Phones
As usual and while enjoying the Barcelona Sun Andy Abramson pointed me towards two new Free softphones, OfficeSIP Messenger And Flash2VoIP.The OfficeSIP Messenger is targeted towards enterprises or SMBs with deployments of OCS (Office Communications Server) and is free. The application supports text, voice and video chats. OfficeSIP softphone implements ICE, STUN, and TURN protocols to traverse NAT and firewalls, and supports TLS for communication security.
The OfficeSIP Messenger runs only on windows platform.
Flash2VoIP is an unconventional and free SIP softphone. Unconventional because unlike most SIP Soft phones I have seen, this one is written in Adobe Flash. This means, that it will run on any platform that supports flash. This application can connect to any free SIP service provider or a commercial ones and make VoIP calls. Calls are free for up to 5 minutes and if you want to make calls longer than 5 minutes you need to purchase a subscription at $5 a month.
