Hey Nick, This page is REALLY full of glitches. In addition to the comment I sent you in regards to the link for subscriptions taking you to a list of previous announcements but with nowhere to put your subscription it also has the following problems: The links at the top of the page (the two I checked on were Domain Tasting and IPv6) went to Wiki pages that were basically blank. If you use the links further down that are to take you to PDFs, most of them go to "Page not found". Buggy... VERY buggy! :) D Darlene A.

These are short, approximately 1,200 word introductions to major issues such as WHOIS and IDNs. You can find them, in several languages, at http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/issues. I have been asked for a list of additional issues briefs which should be prepared. Taking into account comments from many of you over the course of time, I have compiled the following list of subjects. Is there something missing? Are any of these not needed? Is there anything else that one of those below should specifically cover? Do please let us know. * Compliance - what does it do, how does it do it, what additional compliance activities will be undertaken over the next year? * New GTLDs - what categories of objection will be possible to an application, who will be able to object, and how will they be handled and by whom? * Registrar Accreditation Process: How does it work, who can apply, what is required of registrars? * What is IANA and what does it do? * How does a DNS query work, how are unscrupulous actors able to interfere with a query, and to what ends do they do so? * DNS Security: What measures to secure the DNS are available, what do they do - and what do they not do? * IANA and the US Department of Commerce: What is the nature of the relationship between them and what effect, if any, does it have on day-to-day operations of the DNS? * Fast Flux - what is it and how does it work? * Delegation and Redelegation of TLDs: what is it and how does it work? -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA DD: +1 (310) 578-8637 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac_atlarge-lists.icann .org At-Large Online: http://www.atlarge.icann.org ALAC Working Wiki: http://st.icann.org/alac
