Revision history for LegacyDNS


Revision [3827]

Last edited on 2016-12-04 14:42:25 by JonahAragon [Added more complete list of ICANN TLDs]
Additions:
The legacy ICANN/NSI set are the most well-known namespace on the Net, as they are the current extension of the original monolithic DNS system. OpenNIC's position on these TLDs and their registrars is that, for the sake of tradition and historical continuity, it would be inapopropriate to establish a TLD in conflict with them. A complete alphabetical list of TLDs in use by ICANN is available [[https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt|on IANA (ICANN)'s website here]].
===New Generic TLDs (gTLDs):===
ICANN has been accepting and approving thousands of "New gTLDs" that various companies and registries can apply for ownership of. The complete list of delegated strings can be found at [[https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings|newgtlds.icann.org]] (they would be too numerous to list on this page).

Additions:
Traditionally, the two-character TLDs have been reserved for demarcation by political unit, the top level being reserved for coutries as designated by the International Standards Organization (ISO). OpenNIC will not establish any two-character TLDs, since countries come and go and ISO needs to be free to designate new country codes for them. The ISO country-code list are available from ISO at [[http://www.iso.ch/cate/d24591.html | http://www.iso.ch]] or can be read online at [[http://www.bcpl.net/~jspath/isocodes.html | http://www.bcpl.net/~jspath/isocodes.html]].
There were seven global TLDs designated at the beginning of the DNS system. Three of these were given to Network Solutions, Inc. and, more recently, to [[http://www.icann.org | ICANN]]:
- .edu - at [[http://www.networksolutions.com/ | NSI]]
- .gov - at [[http://www.nic.gov/ | govNIC]]
- .int - at [[http://www.nic.int/ | .int NIC]]
- .mil - at [[http://www.nic.mil/ | DoD NIC]]

Revision [2437]

Edited on 2011-02-13 15:18:13 by BryonEldridge [update and sort TLDs, reword]
Additions:
The legacy ICANN/NSI set are the most well-known namespace on the Net, as they are the current extension of the original monolithic DNS system. OpenNIC's position on these TLDs and their registrars is that, for the sake of tradition and historical continuity, it would be inapopropriate to establish a TLD in conflict with them.
ICANN then approved more gTLDs for inclusion in the ICANN-controlled DNS namespace:
- .asia
- .cat
- .jobs
- .mobi
- .tel
- .travel
Deletions:
The legacy ICANN/NSI set are, obviously, the most well known namespace on the Net, as they are the current extension of the original monolithic DNS system. OpenNIC's position on these TLDs and their registrars is that, for the sake of tradition and historical continuity, it would be inapopropriate to establish a TLD in conflict with these.

In 2000, ICANN approved seven more gTLDs for inclusion in the ICAN-controlled DNS namespace:
