The ccTLD - ICANN Model CcTLD Relations with ICANN CcTLD organization Mission and size
The ccTLD - ICANN Model
“Technically Driven” “THIN”
Or“Policy Driven” “THICK”
ccTLD - ICANN “THIN” Model
ICANN acts as technical co-ordination body IETF, domain names, root servers, address space No PolicyServices: Organization, Publishing, Root
Operations Few physical meetings (1 per year)
ccTLD - ICANN “THIN” Model
Cost US $ 500,000 per yearRoot cost estimate US $ 125,000 each15 Roots = US $ 1,875,000Total US $ 2,375,000 (US $ 2.5 Million)25 Countries pay 90% if allocated by name count.About US $ 0.06 to 0.07 per name Calculated at 40 Million names
ccTLD - ICANN “THICK” Model
Technical coordination as in “THIN”Policy DevelopmentConsensus formationPolitical SystemLarger bureaucracy Outreach and Public RelationsCampaign to induce compliance
ccTLD - ICANN “THICK” Model
If there is “Policy”Requires participation by 200+ countriesRequires outreach to achieve this level“Broad-based consensus” claim could be questionedImpact on US-DOC transfer of Root
ccTLD - ICANN “THICK” Model
Need to engage another 100+ ccTLDLearn about them Who they are Technical Infrastructure
Possibly provide support Technical Training Political training Outsourced DNS or tech services
ccTLD - ICANN “THICK” Model
Propose US$ 500,000 / year for 2 yearsUS$ 200,000 Travel grants for meetingsUS$ 200,000 for outreach tripsUS$ 100,000 for full time work on IANA databaseProbably grant funds here, need person to deal with compliance
ccTLD - ICANN “THICK” Model
Cost about US$ 7.3 million with rootCost about US$ 5.5 million without rootFunding requires $ 0.15 to 0.20 / nameAcceptance of grants for ccTLD outreach reduces this by 0.01 / nameThe fact is, we are here already!!!!
CcTLD Relations with ICANN:
Some ccTLDs want the “Thin Model” May not see advantages of “Consensus-
based Policy-Making Organization
Some ccTLDs want the “Thick Model” But ICANN does not devote sufficient
resources to ccTLD issues & Outreach
CcTLD Relations with ICANN: Current Problems
90% of ICANN resources go to gTLD issues.ccTLD is asked for 30% of the ICANN BudgetNo proportional relationship between domain names and contributions- I.e. NetSol has a “cap” on fees.
ccTLD subsidizes US registrars.
CcTLD Relations with ICANN: Current Problems
No direct possibility of ccTLD electing member of ICANN BoardccTLDs want a new method of relating.Possible SO or Advisory CouncilCould still retain DNSO representation for consensus formation between constituencies
CcTLD Mission and size
Light Weight ?CENTR suggests using ICANN to co-ordinate regional organizations Requires strong regional organizations CENTR is only really strong one US $ 400,000 budget about 35
members Where does that leave 100+ ccTLDs?
CcTLD Mission and size

ccTLDs
CcTLD Mission and size
