The 2014 Africa Domain Name System Forum will be held from 7th to 9th July 2014 at the Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja Nigeria. This years event will be hosted by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA). Organized by AfTLD, the Internet Society and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers with the support of other partners , the event seeks to build a community of practice that will strengthen the Domain Name Industry on the African Continent. According to the domain name industry brief there were 265 million domains registered globally in the third quarter of 2013. The base ccTLD registrations were 119.5 million. The largest top level domains by zone size in the third quarter of 2013 included .com, .tk, .de, .net ,.uk, .org, .cn , .info ,.ru and .nl. None of the African registries featured among the top ten. The largest ccTLD in Africa by zone size did not surpass the 1 million mark during the same period. The objective of the forum is to help the domain name industry in Africa grow at a competitive rate and ensure that the continent competes with the rest of the world. The forum will be a three day event and will bring together African registries; African ICANN accredited registrars, resellers, infrastructure service and solution providers as well as entrepreneurs interested in investing in the African Domain Name space. There will be interesting discussions highlighting opportunities in the African Domain name industry as well as networking sessions between registrars, resellers and the registries.

Fwd: [kictanet] IANA FUNCTIONS: THE BASICS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga(a)hotmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 11:32 PM Subject: [kictanet] IANA FUNCTIONS: THE BASICS To: otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> For those who have been following the debate, this gives the basics. When you want to visit a website, you type or paste the site's domain name into your browser, or click on an html link. That domain name is sent to a server which translates the name into a series of numbers - the Internet Protocol or IP Address - which the server uses to direct your request to the website's physical location. This all happens in the blink of an eye. Those names and numbers are called "unique identifiers" and are aligned with a standard set of protocol parameters that ensure computers can talk to and understand each other. These are part of the IANA functions, which are managed by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. These functions aren't just limited to browsing the Internet - they also enable you to send an email or backup photos to the cloud, amongst other tasks. http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/functions-basics-07apr14-en.p… _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Unsubscribe or change your options at https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/otieno.barrack%40gmai… The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.
