It seems like the inverse of the Ryanair situation. There, they needed their pilots to take vacation en masse to remain in compliance, here they need pilots to not take vacation.

Or not. That seems like an awfully large generalization based on one city whose airport rail service hasn't had much time to establish itself. Counter examples: In London I'll take the Heathrow Express over the alternatives becaus

The .io domain has been around since the 1990s. It is well established.

_ASCII_ ccTLDs are always two letters. There are ccTLDs in other scripts that are of variable length (.ไทย, .ελ, .укр, .한국 etc.)

.SU is actually the only former country with a TLD still delegated, and quite a few have been removed. In recent years .AN, .TP, .YU, .ZR have been phased out representing former countries.

IANA allows delegation of country-code TLDs for all countries and territories represented in the ISO 3166-1 standard. The thing to bear in mind is this standard is used for a number of different purposes historically that has informed terri

I have a GETS account that uses this area code. You are given a credit card sized reference card with your PIN number to activate it. There is also another service called WPS for cell phones where you get priority just by prefixing your num

Perhaps this is relevant, and was released just this week by ICANN: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-095-en.pdf "Finding 1: Emoji are disallowed by the IDNA standard; domain names wit

Seems like this is just a clumsy way of simply saying they are going to contact the administrator of the domain your account is associated with (which may be your employer, school, etc.)

I don't think it is an attempt to conceal their identity, if you look at the details of the registrations you can see these are all operated by Donuts ( http://donuts.co ). Perhaps it is facilitate management and future adjus

Incidentally, your theoretical system is exactly how the DNS stores domain names.

Wasn't this in reaction to the story that Homeland Security had asked the question to a programmer entering the US? I don't know how this was extrapolated to a broken job interview process.

I thought NTP was a protocol, not a piece of software. Is the article conflating them, or is there only one single implementation of it that everyone relies upon?

Because a Latin-only Internet disenfranchises billions of people who are confortable with other writing systems? IDNs will take years to be pervasive, just like Unicode before it, because it is a painful upgrade to something designed in a d

There is. There is a relatively new IETF standard called RDAP that provides JSON-structured WHOIS data responses (i.e. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7483 ) along with automatic discovery. ICANN is working on making it

The 1997 white paper that triggered the creation of ICANN sums up the thoughts at the time: "From its origins as a U.S.-based research vehicle, the Internet is rapidly becoming an international medium for commerce, education and commun

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Sure, anyone can create their own root zone. I can create my own .com zone too and point my resolver to it instead. But what use is it if it doesn't contain useful entries that point to thin

In operational practice, very little will change. The staff who perform the IANA function of managing the DNS Root Zone etc. will continue to do the same job, although those staff will now work in a separate subsidiary of ICANN. One operati

.local is reserved, but not for delegation in the root zone. RFC 6762 reserves it for Multicast DNS on a local network.

Maybe it has changed recently, but an interesting factor is the Austrian Starbucks have been run by an Austrian master franchisor, not by the company.

It is going to be 2048-bit RSA, same as the existing. It was considered rolling the key for the first time would be complex enough that tracking the effects of an algorithm change as well probably should wait for a future opportunity.

Ceremony attendees don't leave with part of the signing key. Despite the folklore around these ceremonies that there are 7 people with "the keys to the Internet", those seven only retain a metal key that is used to access a s

That depends on how you define a client. If you're a Comcast customer, for example, they are performing DNSSEC validation for you transparently. Recursive resolvers on most Linux distributions have DNSSEC validation by default. One sch

The new root zone key signing key will be generated at the next key ceremony. At the ceremony after that, the "same" thing won't happen, rather, the key generated will be replicated to the second site. Operational changes usi

The security is designed to guard against surreptitious access. Interested members of the public are welcome to attend ceremonies (availability on a first-come first-served basis). There are multiple redundant sites and backups of the keys,
