ICANN: New L-Root Instance in Puerto Rico Will Help Mitigate Network Outages and Deliver Improved Internet Experience
[news release] Gauss Research Laboratory, Inc. ( NIC .pr) announced today that it has successfully installed an L-Root instance in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This new instance will provide Internet resiliency to the region and reduce the response time their customers experience when making Domain Name System ( DNS ) queries.
“This new instance is part of Puerto Rico’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the robustness and resiliency of its Internet infrastructure while also fostering local content development,” stated Dr. Oscar Moreno, CEO & Founder of .pr. “On top of that, this announcement coincides with Gauss Research Laboratory’s celebration of the 25th anniversary of NIC .pr.”
This new L-Root instance is the result of an agreement between Gauss Research Laboratory, Inc. and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ( ICANN ).
” ICANN applauds NIC .pr’s efforts in developing Puerto Rico’s information and telecommunication sector,” said Chris Mondini, ICANN ‘s Vice President of Stakeholder Engagement in North America and Global Business Engagement. “L-Root server instances contribute to faster response times for DNS queries, and we encourage other organizations to consider deploying their own instances to help develop their regions.”
There are 13 “root,” or fully authoritative, DNS servers, identified by alphabetic letters A through M — the “L” root being one. Computers locate one another on a network by using numeric addresses, while humans find it easier to use and remember names (for instance, users typically remember the domain name ” ICANN .org” more easily than the Internet Protocol address, 2620:0:2d0:200::7). The Domain Name System ( DNS ) matches domain names with numeric addresses, in much the same way a phone book matches names to phone numbers.

ICANN: Implementing Rights Protection Mechanisms in the Name Collision Mitigation Framework
Brief Overview: To determine the requirements on the appropriate Rights Protection Mechanisms for names removed from registry SLD Block Lists.
Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose
Consistent with the Name Collision Occurrence Management Framework [PDF, 926 KB] approved on 30 July 2014, the Board New gTLD Program Committee directed staff to provide each registry operator a Name Collision Occurrence Assessment (“Name Collision Assessment”), issued on 4 August 2014. Per the Name Collision Occurrence Assessment, for names included on the SLD Block List of the registry’s Alternate Path to Delegation Report and recorded in the Trademark Clearinghouse that the registry withheld from allocation during its Sunrise Period or Claims Period, the registry must continue to withhold these names from allocation while ICANN consults with the community. This paper [PDF, 114 KB] examines operational and other considerations for several approaches regarding the appropriate Rights Protection Mechanisms for release of SLD Block List names.
Section II: Background
The Name Collision Assessment requires certain measures to be implemented for each top-level domain. In particular, it provides that for gTLDs delegated prior to 18 August 2014 who have activated names, the registry must ensure that second-level domain names desired to be activated from its SLD Block List after the 90-day controlled interruption period have been subject to applicable Rights Protection Mechanisms as required under Specification 7 of the Registry Agreement.
Based on feedback and discussion to date in the community regarding appropriate Rights Protection Mechanisms for names in the SLD Block list, several possible approaches are described in this paper for the handling of these names. ICANN is requesting community feedback on these alternatives, or proposals for additional measures.
Currently, names released from the SLD Block List after a TLD ‘s Sunrise period has occurred are subject to the Trademark Claims service on release. Various stakeholder groups have provided feedback suggesting alternatives, for example, a required Sunrise period, or a similar period incorporating some elements of the Sunrise process.

Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance Town Hall Meeting to take place at Internet Governance Forum in Istanbul
ICANN: Call for Candidates: Seeking Advisors to the ICANN Accountability & Governance Coordination Group
In Short: The Accountability & Governance Public Experts Group is asked to select up to seven advisors to the ICANN Accountability & Governance Coordination Group. As part of executing its mandate, the Public Experts Group is issuing a Call for Candidates to encourage nominations from the community.
Nominations are to be submitted to

by Wednesday, 10 September 2014 – 23:59 UTC.
Background Information
On 14 March 2014 the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ( NTIA ) announced its intent to transition its stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ( IANA ) functions to the global multistakeholder community. NTIA asked the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ( ICANN ), as the IANA functions contractor and global coordinator for the Domain Name System ( DNS ), to convene a multistakeholder process to develop a proposal for the transition. This process is currently under way as further described here.
During discussions around the transition process, the community raised the broader topic of the impact of the change in the historical contractual relationship with the United States in light of the transition of NTIA ‘s stewardship role. The community identified the importance of improving ICANN Accountability & Governance as a crucial aspect and, after community consultations at the ICANN 49 and ICANN 50 meetings and a comment period on a draft process from 6 May – 27 June 2014, ICANN published a final Process and Next Steps on 14 August 2014.
Subsequent to this announcement, on 19 August 2014, ICANN announced the formation of the Public Experts Group. These four individuals – who are not part of ICANN ‘s staff or Board – are asked to select up to seven advisors to the Coordination Group. The Public Experts are Mr. Brian Cute, Ms. Jeanette Hofmann, Amb. Janis Karklins, and Hon. Lawrence E. Strickling.
Role of Advisors
The role of the Advisors is defined as follows in the Process:
The advisors, selected by the Public Experts Group, will bring an external, independent voice to this process to assure that best practices are brought in from outside of the ICANN community. While there is a level of research and work that the advisors will do on their own, the integration of the advisors with the rest of the Coordination Group is key to considering how the research they perform can be best implemented to solve for the issues identified. The advisors can also help bring inputs in from their own networks as necessary. Utilized correctly, the advisor inputs will not only assist in developing enhanced accountability practices for ICANN , but provide a model that other multistakeholder organizations will strive to meet.
The areas identified for expertise include:
- Internet Technical Operations
- International Organizational Reviews
- Global Accountability Tools and Metrics
- Jurisprudence / Accountability Mechanisms
- Internet Consumer Protection (including privacy, human rights and property rights concerns)
- Economics (Marketplace and Competition)
- Global Ethics Frameworks
- Operational, Finance and Process
- Board Governance
- Transparency
- Risk Management
- Governmental Engagement and Relations
- Multistakeholder Governance
Selection of Advisors
As part of executing its mandate, the Public Experts Group is issuing a Call for Candidates to encourage nominations and self-nomination of suitable candidates. The Public Experts Group may reach out to their networks for additional suggestions.
The Public Experts Group will conduct its activities with a “default open” and its process can be followed, through its mailing list and its Wiki. In evaluating candidates, the Public Expert Group will respect individual candidates’ privacy and will deliberate in closed session where appropriate.
How to Submit a Nomination
The Public Experts Group is seeking nominations for individuals to serve as Advisors to the Coordination Group. Nominations should include the following:
- A brief description of the candidate’s background
- Identified area(s) of expertise based on the list in the Process.
Nominations should be emailed to
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
. Upon receipt of a nomination, ICANN staff will confirm with the candidate if he/she is indeed willing to be considered.
Deadline
Nominations will be accepted until Wednesday, 10 September – 23:59 UTC. The Public Experts Group will select Advisors to the Coordination Group in time for the first Coordination Group meeting, which will take place from during the ICANN 51 meeting in Los Angeles from 12-16 October 2014.
Timeline
Advisors are anticipated to serve on the Coordination Group from October 2014 until April 2015. During this time, Advisors can estimate 5-10h of work per week, with a heightened workload during the ICANN 51 (12 – 16 October 2014) and ICANN 52 (8 – 12 February 2015) meetings where travel for in person meetings is expected.
NB: The timeline described above is the Public Experts Group’s assessment based on the Process and is subject to change after the Coordination Group determines its working methods.
Compensation
Advisors will not receive remuneration for their time. However, travel, meal and lodging costs to participate in Coordination Group meetings will be reimbursed upon request in accordance with ICANN ‘s community travel support guidelines.
