ICANN Moves Forward Towards Introduction Of Internationalized Top
Level Labels (IDNs) in the DNS
2 June 2007
Today, ICANN posted a set of draft procedures describing how IANA
will manage the insertion, administration and removal of
internationalized top-level labels (as delegated A-records) in the
DNS root zone. These procedures are intended to guide an evaluation
plan providing for the insertion and monitoring of sample IDNs into
the root zone later this year.
This announcement includes the draft procedure itself (IANA Root Zone
Procedures for Test IDN Deployment, and a draft paper (IDN TLD Root
Server Performance / Tolerance) describing the negative impacts to
the DNS (tolerance measure) that, if observed, would trigger an
emergency revocation procedure. The revocation procedure provides for
the rapid removal of IDNs from the root zone if these negative
impacts rise to the level specified in the tolerance document. The
Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) is also analyzing the
tolerance measure .
The public comment period is open until June 22, 2007 at 00:00 UTC.
Following the public comment period ICANN staff will revise these
documents and publish a final set of procedures that will be reviewed
by ICANN Board of Directors at the ICANN Meeting in San Juan (25-29
June 2007). The procedure will be implemented according to standard
processes for newly adopted or revisions to IANA services.
Public comments can be submitted to iana-idn-process at icann.org and
reviewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/iana-idn-process/.
Looking forward:
These papers are a corner piece in ICANN’s IDN Program that currently
is developing an evaluation plan for insertion of a set of temporary
internationalized top-level labels in the DNS. The evaluation plan
will take into consideration all received advise and requests from
the past several IDN workshops at ICANN meetings and other events.
The evaluation plan will be posted for community review before it is
finalized and implemented. The evaluation plan will be posted prior
to the ICANN meeting in San Juan that takes place on 25-29 June 2007.
