The thinking behind ICANN creation
An effective mechanism for
technical self-management
by the global Internet
community serving a
globalized economy
4
What do we stand for?
•
•
•
•
•
Ensuring a single, interoperable Internet
All can express their own language and identity, but…
All can access all others
Creativity, development and growth are encouraged
Security of the network is maintained to ensure confidence in the
model
• Stability of the experience for application development and
consumer experience
• Efficient deployment of resources in support of a global network
• All relevant stakeholders have a voice and role
• Encouraging innovation, particularly at the edge of the
network

Key elements and ongoing work at ICANN
• New gTLDs
- policy recommendations by GNSO in Sept 2007, supermajority support
(=2/3)
- objective and predictable technical and capability criteria for allocation
- no predetermined strings, open for applicant suggestions
- defined string criteria and objection procedures
- base contract, available beforehand
- quick application handling process, unless need for extended evaluation
- costs to be covered by application fees, staggered to evaluation steps
- staff currently working on implementation aspects
- decision by Board expected in Paris
• Whois
- no consensus achieved in GNSO for Whois policy change as such
- in-depth studies of Whois aspects planned, proposals currently discussed
- procedures agreed and under implementation for handling conflicts
between Whois requirements and with national law
6
Key elements and ongoing work at ICANN
• IP/RIRs
- proposed global policy on ASN adopted by all RIRs, now in final
verification phase before submissions from ASO AC to ICANN Board
- single proposed global policy on remaining IPv4 address space recently
put forward, replacing two slightly different proposals
- in substance, proposal suggests allocating one /8 to each RIR when the
IANA free pool reaches five /8
- no consensus when presented in APNIC in February
• Compliance
– Contractual Compliance Newsletter
• Each issue of the newsletter will cover enforcement statistics, an indepth look at part of the compliance process, information about
audits and studies, and upcoming events. The Newsletter will also
include new advisories for registries and registrars to help them
understand and continue to improve their compliance with ICANN
contracts.

Key elements and ongoing work at ICANN
•
•
Fellowships Programme
The programme aims at providing financial scholarships to individuals from
developing countries to facilitate participation in ICANN meetings
•
Priority will be for:
– Low, lower-middle and upper-middle income economies, according to the World
Bank Group country classification
– governments, ccTLDs and non-profit sector not associated with ALAC
– Participants from the ICANN region in which the meeting is taking place,
participants from adjacent regions, and overseas participants, in that order
•
Application forms are available online to be completed and submitted by
applicants (Next round for 33rd ICANN International - Nov.2008 - meeting to
open soon)
•
Fellowships Committee (FC) will be responsible for qualifying and selecting
applicants and will also advise ICANN staff on how the programme could be
improved

Joint Partnership Agreement
• The MoU relationship between the US Department of
Commerce and ICANN has been replaced by a Joint
Partnership Agreement
• ICANN’s responsibilities include:
– Fulfilling its responsibilities, including transparency
and accountability to stakeholders
– Now only publish one public annual report
• Joint commitment to strengthening:
– root server security
– Governmental Advisory Committee
– performance monitoring
• Evolution of the private sector multi-stakeholder model
10
Joint Partnership Agreement (ctnd)
• JPA mid term review – February 2008
– More than 170 submissions to NTIA – about 20 from our region
(government, CS and PS)
– ICANN’s submission concluded that:
• As this submission points out, the JPA was a necessary instrument
in ICANN’s formative years. But now, the JPA contributes to a
misperception that the DNS is managed and overseen on a daily
basis by the U.S. government.
• Ending the JPA will provide long-term stability and security for a
model that works. It will provide confidence to all participants that
the investment of time, thought and energy for over nine years has
secured an Internet coordination body that will always be owned by
all stakeholders, not managed or overseen by any one entity.
– 28 February meeting in Washington convened by NTIA to
discuss community inputs
– 2 April – statement issued regarding the Joint Project Agreement
(JPA) mid-term review from the United States Department of
Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA).
11
Joint Partnership Agreement (ctnd)
• Overwhelming view of review comments is that transition is the goal
and we as a community need to discuss how to get there
• President's Strategy Committee is meeting in mid-to-late April. They
will draw up a document to help start those discussions
• PSC will use the submissions to the NTIA review as the foundation
for that document
• Looking forward to productive discussions with community
•
Chairman Peter Dengate Thrush words:
–
–
"I welcome this endorsement of the ICANN model and our significant efforts to improve
ICANN’s operation," said Peter Dengate Thrush, Chairman of ICANN’s Board of Directors.
"As I said in my statement to the public meeting on the JPA in Washington DC, the
overwhelming view from virtually all participants is that transition is the goal and the interest
is in settling how we get there."
"I have asked the President’s Strategy Committee to outline a plan for developing this
transition framework. They will meet in April and make a first presentation, starting a process
for further engagement with the community at the ICANN meeting in Paris in June this year,"
he said.

Accountability Frameworks/Exchange of letters
•
A simple statement where ICANN and ccTLD jointly:
– Define areas of responsibility.
– Confirm mutual actions
• Why
– Need for reliable communication lines as ccTLDs were established and grew.
– ccTLD managers developed options by consensus within the country code
names supporting organisation (ccNSO).
•
Contents
–
–

•
Largely reflects the key elements identified in the ccNSO’s guidelines
Mutual recognition and commitments of both parties
Covers dispute resolution and termination
Financial contribution to ICANN on a yearly basis, subject to review
Termination clause
Formats:
– Framework: formally articulates working arrangement.
– Exchange of letters: more informal.
Either can be tailored to specific needs.

The Future: what do we need to worry about?
• Spam and Phishing
• Attacks at DNS level
• Attacks at routing level
• Fraud/IP spoofing
• Defence is not just technology – response
planning is essential
16
DNS infrastructure – threats
Threats
• Loss of Service
–
–
–
–
Network outage
Machine or site failures
Overwhelming traffic
(denial of service attack)
Business failure
Countermeasures
–
–
–
–
–
Excess capacity
Distribution, replication
Strong connectivity
Multiplicity of businesses
DDoS counters (long term)
–
–
–
–
–
Protocol changes, DNSSEC
Tight registrar controls
TSIG (crypto)
Crypto authentication
DNSSEC
–
–
DNSSEC; policy/political pressure
DNSSEC; policy/political pressure
• Hijacking
–
–
–
–
–
Cache poisoning
False registration
Fake zone transfer
Fake registrar-registry interaction
Private roots
• Loss of coherence
–
–
Unauthorised roots and TLDs
Private character set extensions
Lots of work is under way. But threats are growing
and this will take more time and money than many expect
17
What will the technical underpinnings of the
Internet look like by 2010?
• Terabit-per-second local networking will be available –
backbones and local nets.
• Domain name system will operate in multiple language scripts
• IPv6 will be widely deployed
• Better confidentiality and authenticity will be provided through
the use of public key crypto – more authentication of the
network
• Much more interdevice interaction will be common,
incorporating position location, sensor networks, and local
radio communication
• Spam and various forms of denial-of-service attacks will
continue a “cold war” arms race with defences and better
authentication techniques
• Operating systems will continue to be troublesome sources of
vulnerability
