SAC097 SSAC Advisory Regarding the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) and Registry Operator Monthly Activity Reports
by Julie Hammer June 18, 2017

June 18, 2017

Hi Everyone, Please note that the following SSAC Report has been published: SAC097: SSAC Advisory Regarding the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) and Registry Operator Monthly Activity Reports The Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) was introduced about 3 years ago to provide standardization and easy, reliable operations for participants who have a requirement to access top level domain (TLD) zone files to perform Domain Name System (DNS) research, security research, and anti-abuse operations. The CZDS has often succeeded in these goals. However, some community members have documented problems where the CZDS does not deliver on these objectives. Policy and process difficulties have prevented subscribers from gaining and then maintaining reliable access to zone files.This Report highlights access problems which have been experienced and recommends to the ICANN Board actions which ICANN Staff could take to remediate the difficulties. This Report is attached and can also be found on the SSAC Reports <https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac/documents> webpage. Cheers, Julie

Fw: Interesting article about parked domains
by Kan Kaili June 9, 2017

June 9, 2017

Hi, Thanks a lot for sharing. Just read the article titled "Make Easy Money from Your Parked Domains with Google AdSense for Domains". https://www.groovypost.com/howto/google/google-adsense-for-domains-review-m… This article by Google itself teaches you how to make money from parked domains, although at the expense of consumers and end-users. I am used to think of Google as "DO NO EVIL". Well, maybe not always ... :( Kaili

FY18 Budget comment responses
by Alan Greenberg June 4, 2017

June 4, 2017

The staff responses to the FY18 budget comments have now been posted - https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-fy18-budget-02j…. Of particular interest to At-Large: 1. Our request to fund the ALAC Liaison to the GAC for travel to ICANN meetings has been funded for FY18, pending an analysis of the impact of funding this travel and and overall review of ICANN volunteer travel support. 2. Our request to fund five additional travellers to ICANN meetings to be allocated to "demonstrably active contributors" has been funded at the level of two additional travellers for FY18 pending an overall review of ICANN volunteer travel support. We are required to establish pilot criteria that it would use to identify "active" contributors who might benefit from public meeting travel support. 3. The $300,000 budget item identified as enhancements to the ICANN and At-Large web sites has been renamed "Internal ICANN projects to ensure that ICANN.Organization and Atlarge.Organization websites remain up-to-date and relevant" in keeping with this being an internal IT program to rationalize support of its websites (the ICANN and At-large web sites are the only ones that us the particular software tool that this project is focused on).
