No surprise in the ccTLD. They are responsible for the uptime. There is a comment period taking place related to the ICANN IANA root zone checks.

I wish the article had more info since I have been wondering how a software upgrade downed the entire zone. Wasn't there any backup servers? Did they not test the upgrade before hand? I know I'd lose my job if I upgraded our dns servers all at once with out testing. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On > Behalf Of Fergie > Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 3:26 PM > To: gstammw(a)gmx.net > Cc: nanog(a)merit.edu > Subject: Re: Spain was offline > > > Netcraft: > > [snip] > > A botched software update at Spain's central domain registry > knocked as many as 400,000 sites offline for several hours > Tuesday, according to the Esnic registry.

Sorry for the OT post, but I'm in a bind. Can anyone point me towards a supplier in the UK (preferrably London) that would have fiber (terminated) in stock for pickup/same day courier delivery? I need about 60m of terminated SM fiber. Thanks! -Dave

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC received the IPv4 address ranges 77.0.0.0/8 and 78.0.0.0/7 from the IANA in August 2006. We will begin allocating from these ranges in the near future. The minimum allocation size for these four /8s has been set at /21. You may wish to adjust any filters you have in place accordingly. More information on the IP space administered by the RIPE NCC can be found on our web site at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-ncc-managed-address-space.html Additionally, please note that two "pilot" prefixes are being announced from each /8. Details of the prefixes, 'pingable' target names and addresses for each prefix can be found on our web site at: http://www.ris.ripe.net/debogon/debogon.html Best regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

Netcraft: [snip] A botched software update at Spain's central domain registry knocked as many as 400,000 sites offline for several hours Tuesday, according to the Esnic registry. The error left Internet users unable to access domains using .es, the country code top-level domain for Spain.

ICANN to remove fee restrictions on .INFO, .ORG, .BIZ?
by Michael Loftis 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

<http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-28jul06.htm> A bunch of people are calling the sky is falling, the sky is falling. I'm not so sure this is the case. What I'm interested in is if anyone is actually worried about this, or has heard about this, from within this community. For those three TLDs it seems like there is little/less competition than for .COM so price increases could be significant. However I'm not sure this will result in the 'per domain auction' pricing that some people seem to be afraid will happen. -- "Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds." -- Samuel Butler
