Carlos Raul (GNSO):Hello Grigori Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):Hello Everybody Carlos Raul (GNSO):Hello Maxim Carlos Raul (GNSO):Question Carlos Raul (GNSO):waht does FAITID mean? Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):Faoundation Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):Foundation for Assistance for Internet Technologies and Infrastructure Development Carlos Raul (GNSO):ok Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):registry for .moscow / .xn--80adxhks Carlos Raul (GNSO):ok thank you Lars Hoffmann:hey everybody Carlos Raul (GNSO):hello Annebeth Lange:Hi Heather Forrest:Good morning everyone Annebeth Lange:I should say good evening, here it is 9 pm Jaap Akkerhuis:Hi All Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Hi All only in AC for a while while I am also in another call... Jaap Akkerhuis:21:00 here as well Terri Agnew:Welcome Colin O'Brien Heather Forrest:I would like to say a few words about the changed structure since this follows on our last meeting Jaap Akkerhuis:Patagonia is nowehere mentioned Carlos Raul (GNSO):ok Heather Carlos Raul (GNSO):you are next Annebeth Lange:Exactly. Patagonia is not a territory in the ISO 3166 sense Heather Forrest:I won't interrupt this point so let's finish on ISo 3166 first Annebeth Lange:Patagonia is more a region Annebeth Lange:Jaap, I agree Jaap Akkerhuis:Apologies for the old hand Heather Forrest:thank you, Annebeth - glad you are happy with the approach Terri Agnew:Jacqueline Morris has joined Jaap Akkerhuis:I'kk add a definition of the ISO 3166-1 list Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):lower left - we might need to chang Cheryl Langdon-Orr:yes just muted Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):e all to letter -> all two letter Jaap Akkerhuis:There are multiple ISO lists Jaap Akkerhuis:The list also is the base for IDNs Jaap Akkerhuis:It determines what is eligible to goe to the fast track process Laura Hutchison:I agree with Annebeth. The status quo is very well establ.ished. Changing this would create confusion for end users. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):countries do not use digits ... but they might use it in the future Jaap Akkerhuis:No, as longs as you follow ISO 3166, digits are not used Annebeth Lange:I agree, Heather, let us stay with the 2-letter codes for now Jaap Akkerhuis:There are also 4 letter codes in ISO 3166 (part 3) Annebeth Lange:I also agree with Laura, we should try to avoid creating confusion Terri Agnew:Ron Sherwood has joined Annebeth Lange:I agree, our mandate is for 2-letter and 3-letter codes Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Agree also specify Jacqueline Morris:Agreed. Annebeth Lange:That will at least be very controversial, Heather, to go away from the ISO 3166 list Heather Forrest:apologies - that was a bit longwinded! Heather Forrest:I agree, Annebeth, and there may be technical issues Annebeth Lange:Remember what the AGB says about c & t names. Today c & t names and the extensions thereof are not allowed as gTLDs Heather Forrest:To clarify, my point was that in this discussion we should be considering the specific question: What should we do with 2-letter codes on the ISO 3166-2 list. Heather Forrest:In this context it does not make sense to be "moving away from lists" because the very question implicates the ISO 3166-2 list Heather Forrest:As I see it there are only 3 options: Heather Forrest:1. Status quo (reserve the ISO 3166-2 codes Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Exactly Annebeth Heather Forrest:2. Remove reservation Heather Forrest:3. ISO 3166-2 is qualified - not automatially reserved but there is some framework Annebeth Lange:I agree Annebeth Lange:If we can finish our discussion on 2-letter codes first, that would be good Laura Hutchison:I think that the list is from an external source is a good thing Annebeth Lange:As Icann has said before, it is not them decided what is a country or a territory, that is UN Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):reserving 2letter code for eternity is less pain than taking TLD code back ... Annebeth Lange:I agree with Maxim Annebeth Lange:And it will give new countries established in the future the same system as the old countries have today Jaap Akkerhuis:Since ISO taes codes back, maintaining TLDs for aver means serious conflicts in future Annebeth Lange:This is also bridging the digital divied Jacqueline Morris:Maintaining the TLD for eternity or reserving the code for eternity Laura Hutchison:I would agree. The list is managed by an external body that is better placed than ICANN to decide and manage the list. I would agree with Annebeth and Maxim about protection of codes for future countries. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):and old codes have their own afterlife ... like .su and .uk Jacqueline Morris:I thought it wass reserving for eternity - that allows for reuse, just as ISO does Jacqueline Morris:since they maintain the list Annebeth Lange:That is true, Jacqueline, if a 2-letter code is "retired" and taken back to ISO, it might be given to another country in the future, I think - as a ccTLD. Heather Forrest:Can anyone identify additional benefits and burdens of status quo to add to our list? Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):reuse of TLD after retirement and re-birth by another country ... cound be an issue of the future Heather Forrest:Good point, Maxim - this should go on the list Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):good example Mirjana Tasic:I thing that Iso 3166 2 letter codes which has been used cannot be reused for some period of time ( I think next 50 years? Heather Forrest:Confusion may become less an issue when we have a top-level with 1000 domains Jacqueline Morris:True... Annebeth Lange:But still, it is important that users know what is a ccTLD and what is a gTLD Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):only 5 years before the next use Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):if I am not mistaken Heather Forrest:Annebeth - that line is already blurred by generic use of ccTLDs Heather Forrest:If you want to keep the line clear we have to require that ccTLDs are used only within the country or for country purposes Heather Forrest:Carlos rightfully points out .co and .nu as examples Heather Forrest:.md is another Annebeth Lange:But Jaap, the codes represent names of countries and territories. .no is understood as a representation of Norway, for example Heather Forrest:It would be interesting to do a global survey to see if users at this time differentiate ccTLDs and gTLDs Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):we might not ask for restrictions on cctlds ... limiting their ability to use ccTLD the way they want is well outside of our hands Annebeth Lange:I know that some countries decide to use their ccTLD more commercially, but still, it is the local internat community that has decided that. Carlos Raul (GNSO):Heather, i drafted a survey idea just after our meeting with the gAC Lars Hoffmann:here is a short definiton of the codes. http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_codes_glossary.… Carlos Raul (GNSO):lars Carlos Raul (GNSO):put it in the text please Carlos Raul (GNSO):in the definition lists Heather Forrest:I mean not a survey sent to governments but to internet users Carlos Raul (GNSO):I never send it out Lars Hoffmann:@carlos- will do that. Heather Forrest:Carlos - I don't disagree with you Jaap Akkerhuis:I have never said that the codes were used for statistical purposes Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):Could we add wodring that possible dissolution of ISO 3166 and replacement with the next standard will cause the re-design of the document in a fast manner Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):? Jaap Akkerhuis:It was in the early drafts and very quickly yanked Heather Forrest:Given that we have the status quo we have to decide what to do with the status quo - and the status quo involves the ISO list Laura Hutchison:Theoretical question but does it matter what the list was developed for? Even if it was developed for statistical use, it is a reconised shorthand that links codes to country names? Jaap Akkerhuis:You wan to refer to the alpha-2 codes in Section 9 of ISO 3166-1 Laura Hutchison:so it serves a purpose for the use to define ccTLDs Heather Forrest:I agree with Laura in terms of our discussion about what t do with status quo Heather Forrest:If we believe we need to deal with other codes not on ISO list then we have to question the reasoning Annebeth Lange:You mean, Heather, that we should stop the possibility for new countries to have their country code? Carlos Raul (GNSO):we need to leave a possibility for new codes Carlos Raul (GNSO):by all means Annebeth Lange:I agree, Heather Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):I agree - we need to avoid future issues with the removal of 2letter potential TLDs Annebeth Lange:We have to deal with the ISO list Heather Forrest:Thank you Carlos - a good summary Heather Forrest:Let's continue to work on the draft Heather Forrest:capture the comments from today Heather Forrest:and keep ging Annebeth Lange:And it is up to the local internet community in each country/territory how they will use their ccTLD, That is not up to us. Heather Forrest:Thank you Lars Heather Forrest:Let's revisit the time zones Heather Forrest:Carlos - this has been good, helpful robust discussion - well led Annebeth Lange:It is OK for me, the time of today. We have to take care of those having it too early in the morning Annebeth Lange:Thank you Carlos, for leading the call. Good work! Carlos Raul (GNSO):thank you all Jaap Akkerhuis:I need to drop off, Bye! Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):some of WG conduct doodle polls for the time of meeting (+-1.5 hours) Carlos Raul (GNSO):thank you jaap Carlos Raul (GNSO):very good work Lars Hoffmann:no problem cheryl. Heather Forrest:Thank you everyone! Susan Payne - Valideus:thanks Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Bye all Thank yu Annebeth Lange:THanks and goodbye Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):thanx Everybody!

Role of the ISO 3166 standard and the IETF in the delegation of TLDs
by Jaap Akkerhuis March 17, 2015

March 17, 2015

At a previous call I talked about what I remembered from the early days (the early eighties) in establishing (cc)TLDs and the relation with ISO 3166 and promised to write something up. Instead of relying on my (faulty) memory I actually read up what is published in the IETF RFCs. As said on 16 March it took some more time the expected but here it is. Enjoy, jaap There are quite some stories around about these early days but there is little documentation so in the end I decided not to add more stories from memory but do a quick scan about what is documented. I want to add a disclaimer that this is not pretending to be a complete history of how the current policy of came into existence. In the earlier days there was just the ARPA net and after the TCP/IP protocols got introduced multiple coexistent networks where possible and the internet was born. The use of the domain system instead of a fixed file was first mentioned in RFC 881 (November 1983, The Domain Names Plan and Schedule) and it also proposes the split of ARPANET and MILNET. RFC 882 and RFC 882 gives a description of an early form of DNS. An update of the implementation schedule can be found in RFC 897. A refinement of this plan is published in RFC 920 (October 1984) and defines not only the ARPA, GOV, EDU, COM, MIL, and ORG domains but also mentions that for country domains the ISO 3166 standards should be used. (It also proposes a category "Multiorganizations" which looks like the start of the INT domain). There is an implementation schedule in RFC 921. RFC 1032 (November 1987) "DOMAIN ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE" sets some policies for the way how domains should be administrated. It sets a policy for the use of ISO 3166 for country names. It is worth to note that it mentions the use of alpha-3 codes in case they collide with codes use for states by the U.S. Postal Services. As far as I know, this idea never got implemented. Actual delegations of ccTLDs have happened since 1985. It was mainly done by academic institutions. Governments where not interested in the Internet and where more interested in the OSI protocols and the X.400 and X.500 addressees (RFC 1484, 1617). Meanwhile the internet was growing, IANA got established and that led to RFC 1591 explaining the practice at that time (March 1994). Do note the date. In the seven years there has been quite some development in the way the (top level-) domains got administrated Details of this process are not publicly documented as far as I know. In the late nineties the interest into the Internet and the Domain System exploded culminating into creation of ICANN and the current policies. Some more RFCs which deal with delegations have been produced such as RFC 2606 (June 1999, Reserved Top Level DNS Names). Others deal with policies inside TLDs. As an example RFCs 1386, 1480, 1811, 1816, and 2146 talk about the structure of the .US and .GOV domains emphasizing the hierarchical character of the domain system. The hierarchical structure is also discussed RFC 2352 "A Convention For Using Legal Names as Domain Names (May 1998). The "Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Technical Work of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority" [MOU], RFC 2860 (June 2000), notably section 4.3 (March 2000) formally ends the role of IETF in the policy process for top level domains. There are a couple of RFCs which talk about domains, such as RFC 3071 (Reflections on the DNS, RFC 1591, and Categories of Domains, (February 2001). The reclassification of the .ARPA into the "Address and Routing Parameter Area Domain" is documented in RFC 3172 (September 2001). This domain became also the home for the IPv6 reversed domains (RFC 3152, August 2001; RFC 4159 August 2005). More recently RFC 6761 (February 2913, Reserved Top Level DNS Names). The latter one (proposed as standard) establishes an IANA registry for special TLD names which are not meant as domain names but to be used in non-dns related protocol. Whether this will indeed become standard is still to be seen. The official home of page for the ISO 3166 standard can be found at <http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes.htm>. This page has a link to the alpha-2 list of codes <https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/>. This is gives a list of all country 657 country codes of which only 249 are assigned. This link does lists also the status of the most non-assigned codes. The ISO 3166 Part 1 has multiple lists. What is general called the ISO3166 alpha-2 list (or a variation of this phrase) is actually Section 9, "List one: Alphabetical list of country names in English and their code elements". The list has various fields. If there is interest I offer to write a similar note like this one to discuss the standard and this list. jaap Notes: DDN/MILET: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Data_Network RFCs can be found at the rfc-editor site <https://www.rfc-editor.org> and are easily be found by number as in the nest URL: <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc881.txt>.

Annebeth Lange:Hello, this is Annebeth, tonight without a voice. I have a cold and have lost my voice completely. So my input will be in writing this time. Nathalie Peregrine:sorry to hear that Annebeth, thanks for notifying us. Carlos Raul (GNSO):Rum? Carlos Raul (GNSO):Tequila? Annebeth Lange:Tea with honey for the time being Heather Forrest:Sorry to hear that you're unwell, Annebeth. It's a rough time of year for cold/flu Annebeth Lange:I just spent 3 days at Spitzbergen, I suppose that was too cold, even for me Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):adobe audio works Nathalie Peregrine:It does indeed, please remember to mute your mics and phones when not speaking! Annebeth Lange:Nathalie, I cannot hear anyone speaking. Could you let me know when it starts, so that I know the adobe audio works here? Nathalie Peregrine:The AC audio already works Mary Uduma: Hello Goodevening All Nathalie Peregrine:Annebeth, please try logging in and out of the AC room Heather Forrest:Welcome everyone, we will start very shortly Carlos Raul (GNSO):what document is this????? Nathalie Peregrine:Ron Sherwood has joined the AC room Carlos Raul (GNSO):translation and transliteration? Annebeth Lange 2:For c) there should be both short and long forms, in my view. Annebeth Lange 2:OK Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Providing URL is my preference Annebeth Lange 2:I agree Cheryl Langdon-Orr:AGree to adding 'Methodology' section here as well... soyes to PLaceholder Lars Hoffmann:very good. noted and will be added. Nathalie Peregrine:Jordi Iparraguirre has joined the call Jordi Iparraguirre:hi, apologies for being late Annebeth Lange 2:That's a very good idea, Heather. I support that. Carlos Raul (GNSO):very good idea Carlos Raul (GNSO):definitions list Carlos Raul (GNSO):and we have the GACs sutdy... Annebeth Lange 2:But it is codes representing countries and territories Carlos Raul (GNSO):exacly Carlos Raul (GNSO):Jaap is right Carlos Raul (GNSO):was wikipedia Carlos Raul (GNSO):just codes, yes Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Yes we *must* do as Jaap says... Annebeth Lange 2:THe best place to find it is on the webpage of the International Standard Organization Heather Forrest:The full standard is not available on line; one must pay ISO a rather significant sum to acquire the standard Cheryl Langdon-Orr:as one does with most Standards ;-) Carlos Raul (GNSO):we have money Carlos Raul (GNSO):we are ICANN Heather Forrest:Good point Annebeth Lange 2:Bart, I think you have the full ISO list, I mean we had it when we worked with the study group report Carlos Raul (GNSO):name in what language? Jordi Iparraguirre:I'd say ICANN already have the ISO stds that afrct our i dustry, right? Carlos Raul (GNSO):Suomi or Finnland? Carlos Raul (GNSO):not to mention the 4 names of switzerland Heather Forrest:Mirjana - would you like to comment? Carlos Raul (GNSO):she is on the list.... Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Perhaps ensuring a Reference set in out CWG doc should at leat reflect the refrences from the ccNSO Study to assist reduce this potential confusion Carlos Raul (GNSO): UN languages. That is already a lot Carlos Raul (GNSO):we have to reference that too Annebeth Lange 2:And the languate of the specific country? Carlos Raul (GNSO):norge Annebeth Lange 2:Right jaap akkerhuis:The ISO database: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search Carlos Raul (GNSO):Danke Carlos Raul (GNSO):the iso database recognizes Norge Carlos Raul (GNSO):suomi and svizzera. Good and smart list Mirjana Tasic:sorry I have problems with connection Carlos Raul (GNSO):thank you Jaap. In my view allnames realted to the codes should be considered restricted? or just the codes? Annebeth Lange 2:Heather, it is important to note that this group was not a cross community WG Annebeth Lange 2:The Reserved Names Group, I mean Annebeth Lange 2:Not at all, but just to remember that it not necessarily has the agreement of all communities Annebeth Lange 2:I think that is a good idea, Heather Annebeth Lange 2:Absolutely, Heather I agree on that Lars Hoffmann:of course. i'll amend, draft and get in touch Nathalie Peregrine:30th March at 1900 UTC Annebeth Lange 2:I agree with you, Carlos. I have tried with my GAC representative, but it is not easy to get them involved Lars Hoffmann:yes. Annebeth Lange 2:The GAC has written in their Singapore Communique that they should work with us, but ... Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):/i am afraid we won't be able to avoid interaction with the relevant GAC group Annebeth Lange 2:As we pointed out in Singapore, it would be very bad if we reached agreement in our WG and then GAC find another solution Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):we could invite them or visit thier meeting Mary Uduma:@Anneberth +1 Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):if we are allowed next time Lars Hoffmann:i'll make sure a note will go out to the GAC beafore each of our meetings. Carlos Raul (GNSO):yes Carlos Raul (GNSO):we should try to keep the monday meeting Annebeth Lange 2:That would have been very useful Mary Uduma:The Chair should reach out to the GAC chair again. Annebeth Lange 2:I mean exchange of progress with the GAC Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):it is really important to stay in touch with GAC and to understand current and new ideas Annebeth Lange 2:Thank you, Heather, for chairing the meeting. Excellent! Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):thanks everybody Carlos Raul (GNSO):thanks Mary Uduma:Thanks and bye All Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):bye Colin O'Brien:Nice job Heather!
