ICANN Plans for Disaster: A Registry Failure
ICANN is finally taking steps to figure out what to do if a registry
fails says Larry Seltzer in eWeek. Seltzer writes that ICANN is looking
at what would happen when one of the critical infrastructure providers
on the internet, such as VeriSign, were to fail. The article gives a
background and says that while gTLD operators established a Registry
Failure Task Force in 2001 to look into this question, nothing much
happened until last year. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but the
article notes interest in the issue rose again upon the failure of
RegisterFly.
