  1. Framing ccTLD relations Linking global and national responsibilities

  2. I arrive now at the ineffable core of my story. And here begins my despair as a narrator. All language is a set of symbols whose use among its speakers assumes a shared past. How, then, can I translate into words the limitless Aleph, which my floundering mind can scarcely encompass? What my eyes beheld was simultaneous, but what I shall now narrate will be successive, because language is successive. Nonetheless, I'll try to recollect what I can. • Paraphrased and Excerpted from: the Aleph, by Jorge Luis Borges

  3. Contents • Background SIDN • From Policy development to Accountabillity Frameworks • Accountability frameworks

  4. Background SIDN (1) • Goal: • Secure the continuity and stability of .NL zone; • Secure and enhance the stability and interoperability of the DNS • in a evolutionary manner • to the benefit of the local and global internet community • Continuation of self-organisation and -regulation • Means: Formalization of relations with • Dutch government • ICANN

  5. Background SIDN (2) • SIDN: registry .nl • (sponsoring org. Admin-c and tech-c) • Incorporated and operational in the Netherlands: • Competition law, data protection law etc.; • National law: IP-rights in list of domainnames and registration software

  6. Linking Policy development and Accountabillity • Re-cap discussion scope of ccNSO • functional model of DNS • Roles and responsibilities • Initial scope of ccNSO

  7. A functional DNS model (1) • Function 1: Run a name server and keep it running (NSF) • Function 2: Registering data (DEF) • The two functions are linked by generating a zone file

  8. A Functional DNS model (2) • DNS is hierarchical • First level or the ROOT • Second level or the ccTLD • Third and/or lower or level user • Distribution of responsibilities • Vertical (level 1, 2, 3) • Horizontal

  9. Vertical distribution • Responsibilities level 1 • Data registration function (IANA dbase) • Name server function (ROOT) • Responsibilities level 2 (ccTLD dbase/NS) • Data registration function (ccTLD dbase) • Name server function (ccTLD NS) • Responsibilities level 3 • Data registration function (domain name data) • Name server function (domain name NS)

  10. Horizontal distribution • Policy role: the ability and power to define a policy • Executive role: the ability and power to act upon and implement the policy; and • Accountability role: the ability and power to hold the executive entity accountable for exercising its power

  11. Linking policy development and executive roles Community Naming Policy Zone File Extract. Consultation Proces Data Base Name Server Customers NSF DEF

  12. ccNSO • Focus on roles in global perspective • Linking global policy and executive roles • Initial scope of ccNSO: • Policy Development role (Binding policies) • Contribution to Best Practices Development

  13. Accountability Frameworks • Global and national perspective • Global: SIDN-ICANN • National: SIDN- LIC/National Gov’t • Focus on link between: • Executive and • Accoutability roles

  14. Global perspective Accountability FrameworkGoals and Principals (1) • Stability and interoperability of the DNS • Evolutionary approach • Limited to global perspective

  15. Global Perspective Accountability FrameworkGoals and principles (2) • Risk Management approach • Risk categories • Financial (funding of ICANN) • Strategic (Internet Governance discussion) • Operational (IANA-functionality) • Hazard Risk • Threats and Opportunities

  16. Global Perspective Accountability FrameworkHeadings for Agreement • Mutual recognition of roles in global perspective • Termination and consequences • Review and arbitration as conflict resolution methods • Applicable law

  17. Global Perspective Accountabillity Framework Commitments ICANN • Limited to executive roles • Functional (IANA, root-zone-file) • Policy development through ccNSO • Chain of trust, authentication of requests • Operational Procedures and service levels • Consultation through ccNSO

  18. Global Perspective Accountabillity Framework Commitments SIDN • Limited to executive role in global perspective • Nameserver operations, according to standards • Notifications • Funding

  19. National Accountability framework Dutch Gov’t -SIDN • Overarching concern: continuity of .NL • Process • Identifying common issues • Life-cycle approach • Linking issues to phase of registry • Identifying measures and legal framework

  20. Identified common issues • Maintain link registry .nl and the Netherlands • Operational • Continuation of Delegation; • Ensuring Data Entry Function (DEF) ; • Ensuring Name server function (NSF) • Naming policy • Ensure interest of all stakeholders are taken into account; • Ensure: objective criteria, non-discrimination and transparency.

  21. Life cycle model registry

  22. Linking issue to phase: • Ensure naming policy is based on objective criteria, non-discrimanatory and transparent. • Stable phase: national law • Unstable phase: national law • Transition phase: ensure national law applies

  23. Objectives SIDN • After concluding negotiations with: • ICANN • Dutch Gov’t • Continuity and stability of .NL zone • SIDN roles and responsibilities in DNS are: • structurally embedded; • fomally linked; • clearly delineated.
