CCTLD News Memo #3 (16
January 1998)
* In this issue: Organization, Finding ccTLDs.
1. Organization.
Following up on the message from 29-Dec-98 in which i suggested
that
I think it would be
good to have several regional (with 5 to 7
regions covering the
world) groups organized to represent the
interests of the country
code domain administrators.
A group is forming in Europe with the name "Council of European
National TLD Registries (CENTR)" with the assistance of RIPE.
To obtain more information about this please contact Niall O'Reilly
<Niall.oReilly@ucd.ie>. This will be a topic of discussion
at the RIPE meeting in Amsterdam during the last week of January.
Another opportunity to meet on a regional basis to discuss this
is the APRICOT conference in Manila on 16-20 February. This
was sugested by Mathias Koerber <mathias@staff.singnet.com.sg>.
Perhaps Mathias can help to coordinate this discussion.
Imran Anwar <imran@imran.com> (manager of the .PK TLD for
Pakistan) has offered to assist in forming a regional group.
Please let me know of other conferences or meetings that may facilitate
regional get togethers of country code TLD managers.
We can assist in providing the mailing lists for regional groupings,
though we want to let you decide which grouping to join, and what
to call your group.
2. Finding ccTLDs
In the last issue I noted:
Information about the country codes contacts may be found through
the web pages at:
http://www.isi.edu/div7/iana/countryA-F.html
http://www.isi.edu/div7/iana/countryG-O.html
http://www.isi.edu/div7/iana/countryP-Z.html
There are other organizations providing web access to the country
code TLD contact information. For example:
http://www.uninett.no/navn/domreg.html
http://www.ripe.net/dns/tldadmin.html
http://www.allwhois.com/
Please let me know of other ways to find the country code TLD
contact
information and web pages.
