Best Practice Forum 113: Best practices in ccTLD Policy and Operations : Management Resources

(Please note that I arrived late!!)

The session had presentations from the main players in ccTLD processes globally. Examples of processes and initiatives were given from a European standpoint among others. IANA's role was briefly discussed. There was an interesting explanation of Anycast by Bill Woodcock, the history of Anycast and why it is used. Some main points:

Need for a networking typology
Issue of sovereignty raised
Automation of delegation/re-delegation processes debated (most are not in favour of automation as there is a perceived danger of "mistakes/errors" being made)
