Update: on IDN .test Root-Zone Evaluation
by Mark McFadden - ISPCP Secretariat Sept. 4, 2007

Sept. 4, 2007

>From the gNSO Secretariat: http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-19jun07.htm Update: IDN .test Root-Zone Evaluation 23 August 2007 ICANN today finalized the IDN .test Evaluation Plan and continued taking steps toward insertion of IDN strings in the root zone. Recent changes to the plan are based on comments received on the IDN public forum and also from consultations with ICANN Technical Advisory Committees. This last version was approved by the ICANN Board at their 14 August 2007 meeting. The resolution directs ICANN Staff to implement the IDN .test Evaluation Plan, and report back to the ICANN Board following the conclusion of the evaluation. Specifically, the Board approved the delegation of eleven evaluative top-level domains representing the term 'test' translated into: Arabic, Persian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Japanese and Tamil. Following this ICANN Board approval, the delegation request will now go through standard IANA procedures for insertion of top-level domains into the root zone. The technical evaluations of IDN TLDs and their usability in various applications will proceed following their delegation. This is a major milestone in the IDN Program Plan and signals a significant step forward towards Internationalization of the DNS. It is currently anticipated that delegation of these TLDs and the evaluations, as described in the plan, will commence in September 2007. More information about this project will be made available at http://icann.org/topics/idn. If you have any questions about ICANN's IDN Program please contact Tina Dam, IDN Program Director at tina.dam(a)icann.org. The final version of the IDN .test Evaluation Plan can be viewed here.

I received the following email and offer of an update. I'm wondering if we want to take advantage of this in Los Angeles or if we might like to try to get this as part of our next conference call. Opinions? ------------- Inserted mail starts here: My name is Laura Mather and I am co-chair of the Domain Name System sub-committee of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. This sub-committee has been working on several initiatives that might be relevant to the ISP constituency, including: - Registrar anti-phishing best practices - Proposal for registry phish site suspension - Data on domain tasting by phishers - Best practices: What to do if your site has been hacked Several members of the sub-committee will be attending ICANN in LA. If your constituency would like an update on any of the above initiatives, we would be happy to make sure that someone can attend your meeting to give this update. The Anti-Phishing Working Group understands that there are many complex issues being addressed by ICANN. Our goal is to continue working with the various ICANN bodies to ensure that as policies and procedures are developed, they take into account the implications to the anti-phishing community as well as the Internet community as a whole. We look forward to seeing you in LA. -Laura =========== Laura Mather, Ph.D. Senior Scientist, MarkMonitor 303 Second Street, Suite 800 North San Francisco, CA 94107 Direct: +1.415.278.8456 Fax: +1.415.278.8444 lmather(a)markmonitor.com www.markmonitor.com <http://www.markmonitor.com/> Mark McFadden Secretariat, ISPCP Constituency mcfadden(a)ispcp.info
