In addition to researching
codes not covered in the book, students can
discuss and debate macro and micro themes
in the book including:
- How do national cultures and customs intersect
with the governance and use of specific codes?
- Is a nation selling its sovereignty when
it licenses its country code top-level domain
for commercial gain?
- Should national governments own the country
code domains?
- Should the current rules regarding registration
and county code naming be revamped? If so,
why and how?
- In what ways has the Internet changed the
way people communicate and perceive others?
- What are the rules of specific codes, how
are they implemented and covered in the media?
- What role does the Internet play in international
activism?
Students can also be assigned
a website business plan to discuss which country
codes were viable alternatives to .com and research
the practicalities of registering the site in
that domain.
Again, as you consiser using
Addressing the World in your class, please
order an examination copy.
