Multi-stakeholder activities related to Delegations of Domain Names
Elise Gerich, IANA
Question: Are there any other root DNS servers in Croatia and Serbia?
Answer: k-root in Milan, Italy, but it's not well connected to the region.
Comments:
Daniel Karrenberg, RIPE NCC, showed a map of the root servers system, referencing root-servers.org, and noted the locations of anycast nodes.
Daniel commented how Internet exchanges have come into play in providing access to root servers. He also noted atlas.ripe.net for further information on root-servers and regional root-server reference points.
Martin Levy, Hurricane Electric, asked about latency in the root-server system and asked why there were no root instances in every country in the service region. He suggested that the cost was relatively inexpensive.
Joao said that it was a service to the community and that nothing comes without cost. He added that anything introduced in the network adds complexity to the system. He said there are pros and cons to everything; if you install something, then it will need monitoring and updating.
Elise commented on underserved areas of the world and connectivity. She noted a pilot project with L-root that she's working on that focuses on this issue.
Daniel Karrenberg commented further on the possible challenges and complexities in the deployment of other name servers.
Randy Bush noted that it was an engineering design issue and DNSSEC was a possible solution. He added that we should be able to manage things at scale and that we should investigate the problem.
Joao noted how well the present set-up has worked up till now and said that the issue goes beyond being an engineering issue.
Željko Drašković
Željko presented on the implementation of internationalised domain names in the .ME, languages considered and plans for 2012.
There were no questions.
Internationalised Domain Names and Multi-stakeholder Initiatives
Desiree Miloshevic
Desiree noted that she sits on one of the 2009 Cyrillic project teams. She noted the difference between country codes and gTLD and cTLD names. She also noted the fast track that some organisations are in with ICANN. She noted global compatibility in gTLDs. She noted that IDNs exist to help bridge the digital divide, adding that a new domain name standard is needed to enable this and function well. She praised ICANN for the cross-community effort in variant project.
There were no questions.
Mobile Broadband and IPv6 in Slovenia
Jan Zorz, go6
Comment:
Randy Bush praised Jan's project, noting how effective it is and its positive affect on IPv6 awareness and support.
Jan was asked if other countries have asked Jan for help in building an IPv6 infrastructure. Jan noted Sweden, the Netherlands, Greece, and Macedonia among others had requested assistance.
He added that he'd be pleased to support the Croatians in implementing IPv6.
