Dyn Inc at ICANN 34 to Video Blog Proceedings

March 3, 2009

Mexico City, Mexico — Dynamic Network Services Inc. (Dyn Inc.) is attending ICANN 34 in Mexico City. While in Mexico, Dyn Inc staff will be conducting interviews with key policy and technical people to give a flavor and insight to the proceedings at this ICANN. This will be a mix of interviews and statements given by various personalities representing different policy and technical groups.

ICANN serves as the technical coordination body and is morphing into a consensus-based, member driven organization whose responsibility is the root DNS and naming system. Since ICANN was only founded in 1998 and because the Internet is a fast changing place, a lot of things change quickly. When compared to other similar groups, some participants feel that ICANN hastily makes decisions without appropriate comment. Others feel that ICANN takes too long to make some decisions as it attempts to reach consensus on its decisions.

A lot of stuff goes on here at ICANN that affects how the Internet works. ICANN works on naming and numbering generally speaking. Big topics include the introduction of new top level domains, DNSSEC deployments, and IDNs in the top level. This is the place where those standards and policy come together to shape the Internet.

Dyn Inc represent 60,000 domain name holders, over a dozen domain registries and millions of users who use third level names. One goal that we have with our attendance is to provide them better information on what ICANN is doing. Transparency of ICANN is strongly discussed and we hope that we can do our part by presenting information to our users.
