Let's tackle some sticky ccTLD issues

I'm pleased that today we were able to launch a couple of discussion papers that I have been keen to start a public dialogue on to help improve management of the DNS root zone.

We've been working hard to improve the responsiveness and efficiency of IANA for some time now. In assessing how IANA does its job, it became clear some of the delays that affect us are because we have inherited some policies that aren't the most efficient to implement.

Number one on the list of things that would improve average processing time for the DNS root zone is to alter our "glue" policy. I have presented at the last few ccNSO meetings, as well as meetings of APTLD and CENTR, on this particular topic. Some name servers are shared between many different TLD operators, and simple administrative changes to these can require two confirmations from every single affected TLD operator. In practice this has made some fairly simple changes take over a year, because one or two of them would not respond to our requests.
