LACTLD Statement on ccTLD. HN situation
by Erick Iriarte Ahon - LACTLD Sept. 28, 2009

Sept. 28, 2009

LACTLD Statement on ccTLD. HN situation To the international community By this note, we would like to inform to the international community about the current situation in the ccTLD.HN, which is administrated by the RDS-HN , associated member of LACTLD , organization that inform us about this situation. The current Honduran government has informed to ccTLD .HN that must hand over the ccTLD operation due to Article 79B of the Reglament of the Telecommunications Act (of the year 2002). This rule says that "CONATEL controls the regulation and administration of the domains and IP directions within the national territory. CONATEL will be able to take the necessary measures so that the administration of domains and IP addresses can be executed through from other public or private institutions, for which agreements will be signed and the corresponding regulations will be issued." Last Friday, and based in the above-mentioned article, national authorities arrived at the ccTLD. hn office stating: "Until now, CONATEL has not signed any agreement with any public or private entity. Therefore it is necessary to order the institution, which has been managing and delegating domains. HN, to suspend the management immediately, given that it develops outside the provisions of Article 79B of the Reglament of the Framework Law for Telecommunications Sector". In the same way, they order ccTLD .HN "1. To immediately suspend all activities related to registration and delegation of new domain names under the domain .HN, and 2. To hand a list of domains .HN and records, that the institution have been conferred, to CONATEL." The Red de Desarrollo Sostenible - RDS (Sustainable Development Network) http://www.rds.org.hn maintains the operation of ccTLD. hn since April 1993, date when this organization received this delegation and, in July 2006, signed an Accountability Framework with ICANN (http://www.icann.org/en/cctlds/hn/hn-icann-af-20jul06.pdf) which explicitly recognizes that relationship and work. Furthermore, RDS is also a leading civil society organization that facilitates connectivity to Honduras as well as provides various tools and services to the community of Honduras and Central America and, for this reason, RDS is being recognized as a pioneer in the region. The management and operation of the DNS follow internationally accepted and recognized processes, primarily based on RFC 1591 . Because of the stability importance of the Internet global system and ccTLD work, RDS is due to its local and international community on the Internet. In addition, we indicate that the action that tries to carry out CONATEL is against of the constitutional guarantees and the guarantees of the Pact of San José de Costa Rica. Therefore, it violates the relationship that has been conducted peacefully and technically efficient and is based on existing contractual agreements and relationships. LACTLD expresses its strong concern regarding the events that have unfolded in the request made by the Government of Honduras to take in a sudden and abrupt way the operation .HN due to the fact that it will be detrimental to the users of domain name system in Honduras which primarily require stability for the adequate access of Internet resources. LACTLD is committed with its partners and members, and primarily seeks to maintain the stability of the Domain Name System for the correct running of the Internet. We hope that the wisdom will prevail between two sides in order to solve this delicate situation.

Dear Ron, Hope you had a very good weekend. My colleague Andrés Piazza from LACRALO dropped me this morning the following message : I recently sent a proposal for LACRALO statement to our list (is in spanish, I´ll be waiting for an "official translation") is regarding the statement that LACTLD (the Organization that joints latin american and caribbean ccTLD Operators) made today... Honduras´s Government has been taken down, and there is a dictatorship that started one month ago. The dictators now claim for the administration of the .hn and LACTLD supports the current administrator which is "RDS-Hn: Red de Desarrollo Sostenible de Honduras http://www.rds.org.hn, A Civil Society Network for Sosteinable Development). So I believe LACRALO will be approoving this statement tomorrow (if nothing happens) and LACRALO´s statement is also asking for ALAC, ccNSO and Board´s support. May I ask your special attention for this case ? This is a first case where ALSes demonstrate an enhanced relationship with ccTLD operators. As soon as we have the translated version we will inform you by email.

Posicion de LACTLD ante la situacion del ccTLD .hn
by Erick Iriarte Ahon - LACTLD Sept. 28, 2009

Sept. 28, 2009

A la Comunidad Internacional Por medio de la presente informamos a la comunidad internacional de la situación que se esta presentando con el ccTLD .hn [1], que es administrado por la RDS-HN[2], miembro asociado de LACTLD[3], y quien nos ha informado sobre dicha situación. El actual gobierno de Honduras ha informado al ccTLD que debe hacer entrega de la operación del ccTLD basado en el artículo 79B de su Ley de Telecomunicaciones (del año 2002). Dicha norma indica " Es facultad de CONATEL[4] la regulación y administración de los dominios y direcciones IP dentro del territorio nacional. CONATEL podrá tomar providencias necesarias para que la administración de los dominios y las direcciones IP puedan efectuarse a traves de otras instituciones públicas o privadas, para lo cual suscribirá convenios y emitirá las regulaciones correspondientes". El viernes pasado y utilizando el artículo antes mencionado se presentaron en las oficinas del ccTLD .hn indicando: "Que a la fecha CONATEL no ha suscrito convenio alguno con ninguna institución de carácter público o privado, por lo que se hace necesario ordenar a la institución que ha venido administrando y delegando los dominios .HN la suspensión inmediata de dicha gestión, pues la misma se está realizando al margen de lo dispuesto en el articulo 79B del Reglamento General de la Ley Marco del Sector de Telecomunicaciones." De igual manera ordenan 1. que se suspenda de inmediato toda actividad relacionada con el registro y delegación de nuevos nombres de dominio bajo el dominio .hn; y 2. ordena a RDS que entregue a CONATEL una lista de dominios .HN y registros que han sido otorgados. La Red de Desarrollo Sostenible ( http://www.rds.org.hn) mantiene la operación del ccTLD .hn desde abril del 1993, fecha en que recibió la delegación y en julio del 2006 firmó un Marco de Responsabilidad (Accountably Framework) con el ICANN [5]( http://www.icann.org/en/cctlds/hn/hn-icann-af-20jul06.pdf) donde se reconoce de manera expresa dicha relación y labor. Asimismo la RDS es una destacada organización de la sociedad civil que facilita la conectividad a Honduras asi como proporciona diversas herramientas y servicios a la comunidad de Honduras y de Centro America siendo reconocida como pionera en la región. La gestión y operación de los DNS sigue unos procesos internacionalmente aceptados y reconocidos, fundamentalmente basados en el RFC 1591[6]. Debido a la importancia de la estabilidad del sistema global de internet y el trabajo de un ccTLD se debe a su comunidad local e internacional de Internet. Igual indicamos que la acción que intenta realizar el CONATEL es vulneratorio de las garantias constitucionales así como las garantías del Pacto de San José de Costa Rica, en la medida que vulnera una relación que se ha venido realizando de manera pacífica y técnicamente eficiente, y que está basado en acuerdos y relaciones contractuales vigentes. LACTLD expresa su más fuerte preocupación respecto a los hechos que han desencadenado en la solicitud que hace el Gobierno del Honduras para tomar de forma repentina y abrupta la operación del .HN ya que esto perjudicará finalmente a los usuarios del sistema de nombres de dominio en Honduras que ante todo requieren de estabilidad este sistema para el adecuado acceso a los recursos de Internet. LACTLD mantiene un compromiso con sus asociados y afiliados CONATELpero ante todo procura que se mantenga la estabilidad del Sistema de Nombres de Dominio para el adecuado funcionamiento de Internet, confiamos en que privará la sensatez de las partes para resolver esta delicada situación.
