Maps Needed To Navigate ICANN?
Might a series of maps make the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers more transparent? The group, which oversees the administration of Web addresses announced it is in the process of illustrating some basic geographic details.
The data being mapped includes: the number of accredited registrars and the countries in which they are located; board and staff representation by nationality; country-code top-level-domain (ccTLD) agreements; the general location of root servers based on publicly available information; root zone "Whois" information; support for internationalized domain names at TLD registries and more.

The ICANN community is meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico this week. Read more in Technology Daily's PM Edition.
