How DNS Works www.icann.org 1 3 2 Root Server 8 4 5 9 DNS Resolver (ISP) 7 6.org Server www.icann.org icann.org Server 9
What is L-Root? + L is one of 13 independently operated root servers serving the DNS root zone + The ICANN DNS Engineering team operates L under the autonomous system number AS20144 using the following addresses: + 199.7.83.42 + 2001:500:9f::42 + Renumbered our IPv6 address on 23 March, 2016. + Anycasted since 2007 10 10
L-Root geographical diversity via Anycast + Anycast allow multiple copies of a server to be on multiple places, allowing us to: + Put the service closer to the user + Lower RTT + Improve user experience + Increase query capacity + Reduces the likelihood that some types of attack traffic would affect the rest of the internet by keeping it closer to the source + Flexibility to add/remove instances 11 11
L-Root Architecture + Current architecture is based on 2 different configurations + (3) L-Root Cluster Instances, hosted by ICANN + (150+) L-Single Instances, hosted by ICANN Partners + DNS Software used: + Name Server Daemon (NSD) from NLnetLabs + Knot DNS from CZ.NIC 12 12
L-Root Locations + Today L has presence on every continent with 73 countries and over 150 instances 13 13
Hosting an L-Root Workflow + If you can satisfy the prerequisites + Your organization will need to contact your ICANN GSE local representative and complete a contact information document +Your organization will then need to sign a NDA +Your organization will then need to sign a L-Single contract +Your organization will need to complete a technical form (addressing and routing details) +ICANN will return the documents executed +ICANN DNS Engineering team installs and commissions the L- Root appliances(s). 14 14
L Instance Statistics + DNS Stats (Hedgehog) + http://stats.dns.icann.org + Provides near real-time statistics for L-Root instances + Some of the features available are: + Per instance: + Query and type per second + IP Protocol and Transport Protocol + Query type and attributes + Version 2.1 released on June 1, 2016 + Released to the community with a open license in August 2014.

New gtld Program 16
Before new gtld Expansion 22 top level domains Top-level Thousands of second level domains Second-level many.. third level domains Third-level www.espncricinfo.com 17 17
What is the New gtld Program? The goal of the New gtld Program is to foster competition, innovation and choice in the domain name industry. Competition Innovation Choice This is an Internet community-driven initiative that is enabling the largest expansion of the domain name system, ever. The New gtld Program is managed by ICANN, which means it has taken shape through the multistakeholder model. Over 1,200 new generic top-level domains have now been introduced into the Internet over the next few years. 18
Overview.aero.biz.cat.com.coop.edu.gov.info Prior to 2013, there were only 22 generic Top-Level Names in the Domain Name System.int 22 gtlds.jobs.mil.mil.museum.travel.tel.pro.post.org.net.name 19

CCWG on New gtld Auction Proceeds (CCWG-AP) need for Caribbean Input 25
What are New gtld Auctions? Only one registry can operate a top-level domain. An auction is the mechanism of last resort for resolving contention between two or more applicants for a string through the New gtld program. Most contention sets are resolved amongst the applicants prior to an ICANN auction of last resort (and ICANN expects this trend to continue) o To date, only 16 of the 218 contentions sets utilized a last resort auction conducted by ICANN s authorized auction service provider. Proceeds generated from auctions of last resort are being separated and reserved until the multistakeholder community develops a plan for their use. This plan must be authorized by the ICANN Board. 26
What are Proceeds? ICANN Operating and Reserve Funds New gtld Applicant Evaluation Fees New gtld Program Auction Proceeds Contain day-to-day cash and reserves for ICANN operations. Pay for application evaluation costs, historical development costs repayment and hard to predict costs, including risks. Ring-fenced proceeds from last resort auctions to resolve string contention conducted via ICANNauthorized auction provider. Tied to ICANN budget and planning processes. Unspent application fees fully segregated in dedicated bank and investment accounts. Proceeds (net of direct auctions costs) fully segregated in separate bank and investment accounts. 27
Development of CCWG on Auction Proceeds 1 In March 2015, the Chair of the GNSO asked all of the SO/AC Chairs if there was interest in creating a Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) to determine how ICANN should use the New gtld auction proceeds. 2 After broad SO/AC interest, the community began initial discussions at ICANN53 in Buenos Aires. The outcomes of these discussions were published in a Discussion Paper, which defined a CCWG as a way forward. The Discussion Paper was issued public comment in Sep 2015. 3 4 5 After incorporating comments received, the community nominated a Drafting Team (DT) to begin developing a Charter for the CCWG. The DT presented a draft Charter in June 2016 at ICANN56 in Helsinki for additional community feedback. The DT submitted the final Charter to Chartering Organizations in Oct 2016 at ICANN57 in Hyderabad. The new gtld Auction Proceeds CCWG (CCWG-AP) was formed in Jan 2017. 28
Goals and Objectives of the CCWG The CCWG-AP was formed in January 2017. It is chartered by all of ICANN s Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees and, as of June 2017, has: 24 members 46 participants 23 observers The CCWG-AP Charter defines its goals & objectives as: Developing a proposal(s) on the mechanism(s) to allocate the new gtld auction proceeds. This will be provided to the ICANN Board for consideration As part of this proposal, the CCWG-AP is expected to review: o o o The scope of fund allocation Due diligence requirements that preserve ICANN s tax status How to deal with directly related matters such as potential or actual conflicts of interest This group will not be making determinations on particular uses of the proceeds (i.e. which specific projects or organizations are to receive funding) 29
WHOIS (discussions on new system) 30
What is WHOIS WHOIS is a publicly available directory containing information about registered domains such as icann.org, including contact information for the registrant or registrar. Accurate WHOIS Data is important because it: Ensures domain name holders receive renewal notices and important updates. Reduces the chance of fraud such as an unauthorized transfer or change. Protects your domain name against suspension or deletion, which can happen if information is inaccurate or missing 31
How Do I Access my WHOIS Information? What if you spot an error in WHOIS? Do you hold the domain name? Yes No Contact your registrar File a WHOIS Inaccuracy Complaint 32
