Hi Doug. You'll have seen that there's been no detailed discussion in the last week or so on the mailing list about this issue. Most of the comments have seemed to echo the questions that were in my earlier mail. Assuming that you're back from paternity leave, I think it would now be helpful for these questions to be answered. This would allow us to finally resolve this issue and hopefully prevent it flaring up again in some other forum. Here are those questions once again: [1] What was the nature of the technical problem that prevented multiple names in for an IP address and how was it resolved? [2] Why was there no announcement that this problem existed? [3] Are safeguards now in place to prevent this sort of problem recurring? [4] What procedures does IANA (or ICANN?) have to make sure that changes to the TLD delegation process or problems with that process are properly communicated to its stakeholders? [5] Were those procedures followed for this incident? If not, why not?
Thanks for confirming this Jim. We will have the answers to you by the end of this week. Regards, Doug -- Doug Barton General Manager, The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority Jim Reid wrote:
