So ... recognizing domains .УКР, .БЛОГ. "Everything has already been decided - we do not interfere in the work of those who do it, it's - they are a private matter."
ICANN President Rod Beckstrom, acknowledged that exist in some countries, alternative versions of the Internet DNS, deployed for political or commercial reasons potentially complicate the work of the Network, while expressing confidence that in any case they will be linked to a global network. "Everything has already been decided - Beckstrom said - we do not interfere in the work of those who do it, it's - they are a private matter." Prior to this, many have accused China and Russia and the Ukraine and then in the fact that they have launched an alternative DNS internet that involves their autonomous operation of the system to bypass the DNS ICANN. "People want to test their own ability to do these things and update their root zone files," - said Beckstrom. "Some support these initiatives, for safety reasons, and some want to have an alternative network in the event of any regional problems, and some may be guided by political objectives." Since ICANN proclaims its purpose association of Internet "to all sitting at the same table," Rod Beckstrom acknowledged that problems can arise if the country will duplicate existing top-level domains -. Com,. Cn or. Net - with new addresses in the Network . "But it did not happen, and I think that this is unlikely to happen" - said Beckstrom, ICANN defending against charges that it serves U.S. interests. "I think the work itself, the Internet fuels the desire of people to use the root," - he said. We can add that it is logical to assume that in order to "all sitting at the same table", ICANN, in turn, will not duplicate existing top-level domains of parallel networks of the Internet. Again: "Everything has already been decided - we do not interfere in the work of those who do it, it's - they are a private matter.": http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-technology/web-boss-sees-risk-of-multiple-internets-20100128-n0lb.html |
