draft-lozano-tmch-func-spec and QLP addendum
by Rik Ribbers Feb. 10, 2015

Feb. 10, 2015

Hello, I've got a question concerning the QLP addendum in relation to the IETF TMCH functional specification draft (http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-lozano-tmch-func-spec-09.txt ) In section "5.4.1. Domain Registration" of the IEFT draft a decision table is provided the services a registry must provide for the QLP allocation scenarios. This table suggests that a QLP registration during sunrise must be validated against the DNL list and the SURL list. However in the QLP addendum it is only mentioned that a QLP registration during sunrise must be validated against the SURL list. I assume that the addendum is correct, but is that a correct assumption? Kind regards, Rik Ribbers

Adobe Connect Hands On Session at ICANN Singapore TechDay
by Dr Eberhard W Lisse Feb. 3, 2015

Feb. 3, 2015

Hi, we shall have us an Adobe Connect Hands on session over lunch (13:00) on Monday at TechDay ICANN Singapore in the Olivia Room thanks to ICANN IT staff. In particular would I like to make the feature known that one can interact with the conference call bridge by way of "connecting audio". This is helpful for those who find themselves in a situation of poor telephone reachability but with acceptable Internet connectivity as a fail-safe. I would appreciate if you could circulate this to lists and individuals who you think may benefit of this session. greetings, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.

TLD Name Server Software/Appliances
by Robert Smith Jan. 31, 2015

Jan. 31, 2015

Good evening, I'm trying to find/compile a list of name server software that the primary TLD servers use. I've found the root servers use BIND, with a few using NSD; is this about the same usage across TLD servers, as well? Or perhaps some TLDs use particular appliances instead? Thank you, - RS

draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-03 Posted
by Gould, James Jan. 29, 2015

Jan. 29, 2015

All, The fourth draft of draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase (draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-03) was posted to the IETF as what should be ready for Working Group Last Call by the EPPEXT Working Group. There is a dependency to draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd, so the hope is that draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd can be reposted for Working Group Last Call as well. The following is the draft information: URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-03.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase/ Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-03 Diff: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-03 The following is a description of the changes from draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-02 to draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-03: 1. Added the "Implementation Status" section based on an action item from the eppext IETF-91 meeting. 2. Moved Section 7 "IANA Considerations" and Section 9 "Security Considerations" before Section 5 "Acknowledgements". Moved "Change Log" Section to end. 3. Updated the text for the Claims Check Form and the Claims Create Form to support checking for the need of the claims notice and passing the claims notice outside of the "claims" phase. 4. Added the new Trademark Check Form to support determining whether or not a trademark exists that matches the domain name independent of whether a claims notice is required on create. This was based on a request from Trung Tran and a discussion on the eppext mailing list. Please review draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase-03 and post any issues to the eppext mailing list. I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this draft version as well as all the past draft versions.
