RIPE Region Hostcount for January 2000
by RIPE Hostcount Maintainer 22 Feb '00

22 Feb '00

Dear All, below is the hostcount for January 2000. The table shows an increase since last month of over 540,000 (or 5.3%) to a total of around 10,820,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The -it- domain shows the highest increase for January with approximately 220,000 hosts more than in December. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/stats/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - Once again, our apologies for the unavoidably late result of this hostcount, caused by the increasing resource needs as large TLD's expand. As usual, major swings in several TLD's can be largely attributed to the effects of AXFR blocking, for example... - an ISP that runs secondary for many zones blocks or allows zone transfers to the counting machines's IP on its nameserver. - large organisations with many hosts block or allow zone transfers to the counting machine's IP on all their nameservers. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Edgar D Danielyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg Network Operator es Susana Gayo.

17 Feb '00

ANNOUNCEMENT: ASO General Assembly for 2000 and Call for ICANN Board nominations The Address Council of the Address Supporting Organisation is pleased to announce the first ASO General Assembly meeting, to be held on Friday 19 May 2000, in Budapest, Hungary. This meeting will be hosted by RIPE NCC alongside the RIPE-36 meeting, and will be open to all parties with an interest in ASO policy matters. A detailed meeting agenda will be published in due course on the ASO web site, at http://www.aso.icann.org In compliance with the ASO MoU (http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou.html) the Address Council and ICANN hereby call for nominations to the ICANN Board, of candidates to fill vacant ASO seats on the ICANN board as they become vacant. The first such seat scheduled to become vacant is currently occupied by Mr. Pindar Wong, who will stand down on 2 November 2000 (the 12 month anniversary of his appointment). However, candidates nominated at this time may also be chosen to fill seats which become vacant before or after this time. Note that appointments to the ICANN board must satisfy the geographic diversity constraints specified in section 3c of the ASO MoU. Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the exception of any official of a national government or a multinational entity established by treaty or other agreement between national governments (ICANN Bylaws Art. V., Sec 5.). Self-nominations are permitted. Nominations should be sent by email to <secretariat(a)aso.icann.org> and should state the following details : A. Nominee details 1. Full name 2. Organisational affiliation 3. Email address 4. Physical address 5. Country of residence 6. Telephone contact 7. Biography B. Details of nominating individual 1. Full name 2. Organisational affiliation 3. Email address 4. Country of residence Nominations must be submitted in English and must be received by the ASO Secretariat before 0900 GMT 19 April 2000 (30 days prior to the General Assembly meeting). After nomination all nominees will be contacted via email to confirm their willingness to serve as an ICANN Director. If the nominee is not contactable via email then the nomination will not be confirmed, and nominee must explicitly confirm the nomination for the nomination to be considered confirmed. All confirmed nominations will be listed on the ASO web site (see http://www.aso.icann.org) as soon as they are confirmed. Those wishing to express support for any individuals who have been nominated should use the "ICANN Board - Support of Nomination" Form which will be made available on the ASO web site. The list of nominated individuals and the supporting comments will be passed to the Address Council after all nominees are confirmed, and prior to the General Assembly meeting on 19 May 2000. More information regarding the GA and nominations process will be posted to the ASO web site (http://www.aso.icann.org) in due course.
