Benefits of diverse participation • CENTR values participation from many different registries – Western and Eastern Europe, Americas, Asia, Oceania – Different regulatory regimes, Internet community expectations, use of domain names etc. – Different challenges is ensuring stable DNS/Internet • Provides diverse viewpoints – Brings different perspectives to discussion of issues – Helps CENTR define policies that benefit everyone – Comes to agreed opinions based on this dialogue within CENTR, so there is a unified opinion to the global arena
Internet users and Domain Names
All Users have choice • g. TLDs (outside jurisdiction) compete with cc. TLDs (inside jurisdiction) • Regulation of cc. TLDs in addition to normal business practice reduces attractiveness of cc. TLDs – so users buy domains elsewhere. • Global market, global pressure – satisfying local culture, local needs, local environment – stimulate success.
Domain Name market cc. TLDs make up 39% of the market Source: Verisign
cc. TLD Registry Models Historically Internet was used and developed by academic community Many cc. TLD registries were operated by academic institutions or government research department. Many academic institutions or Government research department do not want the liability/responsibility of running a registry – create separate body to operate Registry Other cases internet communities invite private companies to operate on a cost recovery basis. Some Government research departments have handed over function to the regulator and the regulator has handed responsibility to private sector cost recovery companies. Some were delegated directly to Private Sector companies.
Management Models
Streamlining Domain Management
g. TLDs in competition with cc. TLDs • • Chile Poland Germany Malaysia Turkey Spain India 0. 09 0. 20 0. 33 0. 76 2. 89 7. 07 39. 49 • France went from 5. 30 to 3. 83 in one month. Source: nic. IR
Policy decisions are local • Users – which includes Government, determine policy of Domain Registration. • Technical issues handled by technical community • Policy issues dealt with by users having regard for the legal framework of the country where the Registry is located. • Internationalised Domain Names are a local issues – policies need to be in local script and local dispute resolution important.
Controlling cc. TLD Registry does not give power over Internet • Industry and Government working together to satisfy user demand will bring success to the Internet community • Internet is not like telephony – it has intelligence at the edges - it has been made by design to avoid central points of “failure” – packets (like users) circumvent areas of restriction. • Public / Private partnership with all control divested to the local community makes for a solid foundation.
Government / Industry Models Dialogue and responsibility Some governments specifically exclude Internet Naming and Addressing issues from Telecommunications Regulations – placing a duty on Industry to act appropriately. Government still controls the general framework for conducting business and providing (non-discriminatory) services. Market failure unlikely as industry and users have most to loose. Policy Boards and Registry fast to respond. Some Governments manage Internet Naming and Addressing Policy. Industry will be unable to rescue in a timely manner, as management is controlled by policy and process.
Summary Industry can help Government, we say to Governments “Internet Management is a problem you don’t want… … you don’t need… … we’ve solved it… … tell us if there are issues. ” Dialogue is good and we are all here to assist. Together we will satisfy local demand, promote local diversity, recognise different cultures, languages and frameworks.
Future Meetings • General Assemblies 2004 – Yerevan AM (Sept), Zürich CH (Dec) • Technical, Administrative, Legal workshops throughout the year.
