Signposts in Cyberspace: An NRC Report on the DNS and Internet Navigation
Roger Levien writes over on the CircleID website:
In light of the recent decision by the United States government to "maintain its historic role in authorizing changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file" and ICANN's recent decisions to add more gTLDs (including .xxx), and to renew VeriSign as the .net registry, readers may be interested in the just-published report of the National Research Council's Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, Signposts in Cyberspace: The Domain Name System and Internet Navigation, which is available as a free PDF. A printed version can also be ordered.
"Signposts in Cyberspace" is a comprehensive policy-oriented examination of the Domain Name System in the broader context of Internet navigation. It is addressed to policy communities in the United States, other nations, and international agencies, whose decisions will affect the DNS' future. The report contains a careful description of the development, current state, and future prospects of the technical system of the DNS and a complementary description of the development, current state, and policy issues of the framework of autonomous institutions that operate, administer, and set policy for it.
