Draft statement on the Protection of International Organization Names in New gTLDs.
by Alan Greenberg July 11, 2012

July 11, 2012

A draft ALAC Comment on the Preliminary GNSO Issue Report on the Protection of International Organization Names in New gTLDs has been posted at https://community.icann.org/x/BgQQAg. As noted in the wiki, this comment is a departure from related ALAC statements. It's origin was Beau Brendler's comment during the Prague meeting that previous ALAC statement rejecting all special protection for Red Cross in particular did not factor in issues related to consumer fraud. It was drafted by me with the active involvement of Evan Leibovitch and Holly Raiche. Any ALAC statement must be posted no later than July 16, 2012.

China is going to divide the DNS
by Lutz Donnerhacke July 1, 2012

July 1, 2012

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-diao-aip-dns Each ISP - large enough to obtain a TLD from IANA for this purpose - should be allowed to create it's own DNS hierachy. This Chinese proposal is justified by the fact that the (U.S.) centrally managed name space represents a risk for the stable operation of the Internet. Following this draft different name spaces are spanned, each of them operated autonomously. Which domain names are allowed, added, or removed; how a domain name is resolved, is soley in the hand of the operators. Using the typical definition, that "the Internet is the transitive closure of all systems communicating bidirectional via Internet Protocol, which contains the DNS root servers", the Internet is splitted by this proposal. There is no reason to believe the rumours, that this proposal is a direct consequence of the ICANN desaster with new gTLDs. On the other hand, DNSSEC root keys at the end user systems define which root have to be used in the first place. This can be used to establish and protect the new name spaces.
