First

• Devoted all avialable resources to working on
  issue
• Discussed with peers possibilities for extending
  the servers life expectancy

Brief Stats

• Fuller report will be posted a.s.a.p. to
  http//www.iana.org/periodic-reports/
• Fastest Zone Change was 3 days Longest is still
  ongoing.

  (CcTLD) servers.

• Servers that werent responding to anything

6

• Those still ongoing
• CcTLDs with issues on policy
• CcTLDs with continuing configuration issues
• CcTLDs where one or both of the contacts havent
  replied

Policy Issues

• Main policy issue is the requirement for zone
  file transfer.
• Long standing policy of zone data being made
  available from CcTLDs to IANA.
• Some dispute this is longstanding
• Some dispute the policy

Lessons learnt

• The DNS really is a mess
• Making 10s of CcTLDs reliant on a single piece
  of infrastructure is not a good long term
  practice
• There is a need to work on best practices of a
  more operational nature
