Pakistan's .pk ccTLD engages ICANN

The Pakistani user, business and technical communities welcome the recent Pakistani ccTLD "PKNIC" (www.pknic.net.pk) move to explore ways in which to engage ICANN in a constructive dialogue on a possible particpation framework. The precise framework is still under discussion. However, this is a good positive step and a mutually beneficial result is expected. The importance of ICANN in development of international best practice for ccTLDs and in itself an example of an evolving muti-community model is recognised.

This is a problem in general

This is a problem in general with ccTLD (country code top level domains). This is also one of the reasons why dot com is so popular.

What Does the ICANN Announcement Mean for Pakistan?

Submitted by nexpider on Thu, 25 December 2008 - 21:41.

Following the ICANN announcement that allow the implementation of new domain names online, it’s interesting to see the implications it will have on a country such Pakistan, that has a fast growing online presence.

People are generally very web savvy – more so than other countries. There might not be a global demand for hundreds of millions of people to visit websites that contain localized content, because let’s face it: in the country, you don’t have enough users; and because such a small number of websites are search engine optimized, people outside the country can’t search and find the websites that hold the content. Every third person you come across either owns a website, manages it, works in a company that depends on traffic and leads generated from it, or is thinking about getting one made.

Please explain your affiliation with PKNIC. How and when you got .pk domain resolution authority? Did pknic approve you by consulting Adisory Group or it was a hand-picked?

Also please explain in which authority, are you making above statement? Should we assume or confirm that you are a part of pknic and not a neutral body?

Also please name some communities when you say "Pakistani user, business and technical communities"?

Thank you for your time.

.PK Outage - pknic.net.pk

Submitted by iashah on Tue, 03 June 2008 - 22:12.

Dear Bhowana, PKNIC SRS Inc. is a responsible company to provide .PK ccTLD domain names and who-is services for 28000+ active & registered domain names. They are bound to provide necessary information for each registered website to its zone file on DNS Server.

There can be a couple of reasons for this downtime of pknic.net.pk, they can well understand the loss of business due to downtime

They are using DNS services at different location (other then their pknic website hosting server).At this moment DNS services to all other .pk sub domains are working but only the DNS server for their own web portal (pknic.net.pk) is down which was being used for registration and renewal of .pk domain names.. Unfortunately their Email Services (MX 207.44.136.109) were running on the same server, so it is also out of service.
. . . .
Once the main DNS is out, not only you but about 28,000 domains’ owners can face drastic problem with their business, their website and their email services. The core business of about 7,000 domain owners is on the risk, pknic.net.pk is probably hosted with the best Datacenter (207.44.136.109) 207.44.128.0/17 Electric Lightwave Inc (ARIN OrgID: ELIX) Everyones Internet and UU.Net (198.6.1.210), An MCI Worldcom Company 3060 Williams Drive Fairfax, VA 22031 US.

In order to obtain a positive response, it is recommended to them (in polite manner) to manage multiple and geographically dispersed clustered DNS servers (at different datacenters) on urgent basis.

Instead of teasing them with direct attack, a voice message can be recorded for Mr Asher Nisar at + 408-437-8953.

By the way, please also read following comments of ICANN: http://public.icann.org/node/343#comment-53.

.PK Registry website Returned back

Submitted by iashah on Thu, 05 June 2008 - 17:31.

PKNIC website (pknic.net.pk) is live now, after 5 days of total blackout.

According to their statement downtime to about 3.1m websites was due to a catastrophe.

They also informed that DNDRC is arranging a roundtable workshop on Re-Delegation on 7th June at PC Hotel, Karachi.

Pakistan's .pk ccTLD Registrar should work on Urdu IDN

Submitted by iashah on Thu, 21 February 2008 - 02:43.

We propose that Pakistan's .pk ccTLD Registrar PKNIC should work on Urdu IDN (International Domain Name)

Some important concerns of Pakistani Community about PKNIC.net.pk are as follows:

1. Any activity for International Domain Name (IDN)?
2. Any activity for Multi Language Domains (e.g. Urdu, Punjabi)?
3. Any participation in the latest policy development with ICANN/ IANA?
4. What are the shared registery policies about .PK ccTLD?

I am afraid off that Pakistan will not be able to get significant development to take proper benefit from latest developments on the highway of Internet.

Submitted by dndrc on Mon, 11 February 2008 - 17:20.

Your queries are answered at http://www.pknic.net.pk/policy-text.html and http://www.dndrc.com/

PKNIC is the ccTLD and DNDRC is the designated diapute resolution body under the ccTLD policy.

DNDRC is also engaging in policy issues. As mentioned in an earlier comment the need to address IDNs in the Urdu scropt is an important one and this process though already under discussion at a local community level in Pakistan with PKNIC should also be addressed at ICANN.

We are also joined here in Delhi by Prof. Sarmad Hussain an expert in Urdu script and have been participating in the IDN sessions. Also the President of PASHA, the largest and only IT Association of Pakistan is represented at ICANN by the presence of Ms. Jehan Ara, their President. The above comment was a joint comment on behalf of us. Please do meet with us when you have time. We were unable to see you anywhere yesterday. Your participation in our joint efforts would be useful to the policy discussions.

ICANN Participation

Submitted by Jehan on Mon, 11 February 2008 - 18:16.

I am glad that Zahid Jamil suggested that I drop in at the ICANN meeting yesterday. It was good to see that there was strong participation from Pakistan. Zahid, of course is a regular and is well respected by many people in the ICANN community.

However, I think that my participation (limited though it is) and that of Professor Sarmad Hussain adds weight to the fact that Pakistan is interested in being an active member of the world community when decisions regarding ccTLDs, language scripting and IDNs are taking place.

Some of the deliberations that took place yesterday were very interesting. I found it to be a very open forum where people were quite vocal about their points of view regarding the ICANN FastTrack effort, the fear of smaller groups suffering because decisions are being delayed due to the bigger issues of larger countries.

It was good to meet some of the senior people from the ICANN heirarchy and also re-establish contact with some of the people from the ICC and BASIS.

Pakistan needs to continue to be represented at such fora.

DNDRC IS A PKNIC PET

Submitted by DNDRC VICTIMS on Sun, 20 April 2008 - 14:46.

DNDRC is a biased organization and a PKNIC PET. ICANN and Govt of Pakistan should really look into the role of DNDRC.

DNDRC is not actually deciding the cases based on merit but actually taking bribery from the complainants and making unilateral decisions. They even do not bother to contact the other party RESPONDENT.

Actually in this so called organization they Mr. Zahid Jamil is appointing himself as a signal panel arbitrator and earning money.

THEY NOT ONLY HIJACK DOMAINS BUT ALSO THREAT RESPONDENTS OF CYBER CRIME LAW OF PAKISTAN.

ALL CASES REGARDING .PK SHOULD BE DECIDED BY THE ICANN AUTHORIZED ORGNAZITION AND NOT BY THE BIASED ZAHID JAMIL.

Pakistan domains outside ICANN's purview

Submitted by kieren.mccarthy on Tue, 22 April 2008 - 10:49.

It is important to note that ICANN does not have any authority over Pakistan's ccTLD.

ICANN has contracts with generic top-level domains such as .com, .org. .info and so on, but it has neither a contract nor an agreement with the .pk registry at this moment in time.

I should also note that I am concerned with the content of these messages, which is becoming increasingly accusatory and abusive. This is not the right venue for these comments, and so I am giving you advance warning that similar comments will be deleted in future, and your account blocked.
