ISOC-NY EVENT: dot nyc - How are we doing? Apr 10 2010
by Joly MacFie April 6, 2010

April 6, 2010

Last October the NYC Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications (DoITT) issued a request for proposals for “services to obtain, manage, administer, maintain and market the geographic Top Domain name .nyc.”. At ICANN’s recent 37th meeting in Nairobi, consensus was reached on the “overarching” issue of intellectual property protection. This leaves only the issue of the final (4th) draft of the Applicants Guidebook, expected before the 38th meeting in Brussels in June 2010, before the much delayed new generic top level domain (gTLD) delegation process can finally grind into action. (One caveat – a policy forbidding cross-ownership of registries and registrars is still not totally set in stone.) The Internet Society's New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) has for some years been following the .nyc and ICANN process on behalf of the NYC community and will, on Saturday April 10 2010, host a symposium “dot nyc – How are we doing?” at NYU. Vendors Eric Brunner-Williams of CORE Internet Council of Registrars and Antony Van Couvering of Minds + Machines will reveal details of their proposals to the City, after which there will be a discussion “What’s it for?” about possible applications – civic, community, commercial, and “outside the box” – for a local top level domain. What: ISOC-NY Event: dot nyc - How are we doing? When: Saturday Apr 10 2010; 1pm-4.30pm (1700-2030 UTC) Where: Warren Weaver Hall NYU Rm102, 250 Mercer St, NY 10012 Who: Public Welcome.

Second Call: Call For Volunteers for the Working Group for the Vertical Integration PDP
by Alan Greenberg April 6, 2010

April 6, 2010

To date, I believe that very few At-Large people have volunteered to join this group. The deadline for volunteering is 22 March. Note that this is a time-limited PDP and is scheduled to deliver its final report by 20 Jun, so the work will likely be intensive. The issue could have great impact on new TLDs. The proposal in DAGv2 was to allow a registrar related to (ie some sort of ownership relationship) to distribute up to 100,000 names for the TLD. Presumably in part, this was to address situations where the domain had very limited requirements to sell second level domains (corporate TLDs for example) or to ensure that startup TLDs had some marketing path if registrars were not interested in carrying them. If you are considering volunteering, please read the Issues Report and Charter pointed to below.

Either it is insured, or it is not. If it is not, - its duty to its TLD operators is to ask the IETF a solution, and possibly to spur a response in calling for (1) a private study (2) a report to the GAC calling upon Governments to finance the corresponding R&D (cf. IAB RFC 3869). - our own @large duty is to consider the best solution we may advise to our fellow users. This solution turns out being in line with the architectural precisions introduced through the IDNA example by the IESG for which I am provoking the necessary IAB guidance through an appeal. This should further on lead to a continuation of RFC 1959 and 3439 about the Internet architecture (roughly the precision is that once reached a given threshold diversity cannot be supported by bandwidth increase but by (partly DNS embedded) metadata exchanges between user side metaprocessors). Joe's advise of running his/her own root, is also the conclusion of the DNS-Operations people. This is also a part of the IUCG (Internet @larges at the IETF) investigated "Interplus" Internet Use Interface (IUI) architecture. However, the IUI implications also depend on other on-going IAB work. So, it is only fair for us to presently work on prototyping and testing, and reporting to the IAB. Definitly our Internet lead users' point of view is that DNSSEC is an operational no go for us and would bring us no additional protection. This POV aslo seem to be shared by some DNSops contributors. Best jfc
