[CPWG] .edu

Yes Dr. Roberto Gaetano. It was me flagging in the .edu domain with www.annauniv.edu as sample domain name during the CPWG call on 24 May 2023.

The domain name . edu is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. The domain was implemented in 1985 to create a domain name hierarchy for organizations with a focus on education.

Since October 29, 2001, only postsecondary institutions and organizations that are institutionally accredited by an agency on the U.S. Department of Education's list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies are eligible to apply for an .edu domain.

I am very sure that www.annauniv.edu<http://www.annauniv.edu> happened in 1998. We got the IP address through APNIC and we had to go through them for the Domain Name as well.

Technically, the organization footprint [whois queries & Use of Domain Information Groper [DIG] to download zone data] as well as Scanning [using gping] are feasible.

The following book generates the IP address of Anna University as an illustration.

Joel Scambray, Stuart Mcclure and George Kurtz, "Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions", McGraw-Hill Education, November 2000.

This is my very quick response.

My quick question is to verify the assurance on the footprint through the portals of ICANN?

Sincerely,

Dear all,

Yesterday I joined the call late, so I have probably missed something - sorry if I am saying something that was already did during the call.

Mention was made of a registration under .edu, I believe by Gopal, and the issue was which registrar. When the SRS was developed for the separation between Ry and Rar this model was applied only to .com, .org and .net, while the other TLDs that were not open to public - like .gov, .mil, .int, .edu - were left unchanged. So the registration via an ICANN-approved Registrar only applied to the TLDs managed by Network Solution. As a consequence, there is no need to go through a Registrar for registering a SLD under .edu.

Cheers,
Roberto
