Amsterdam, 20 January 2006 - Today a consortium of inclusive
namespace organizations announced their intention to launch a test site
for root services. The PublicRoot Consortium, the Internet Names
Authorization & Information
Center ( INAIC ),
ZXFactory, and Planet Communications &
Computing Facility (PCCF) will provide services to
establish and operate an experimental inclusive namespace server to
support root and top-level domain (TLD) infrastructure.
As the expansion of the inclusive namespace continues the PublicRoot
Consortium has expressed concerns that there is no root available for
public or ISP use that sees all TLDs existing in the namespace. The
experimental root system will facilitate the development of new
protocols that bring together the combined namespaces of all root systems.
The PublicRoot Consortium will be provide protcol support to the
project, PCCF will provide network infrastructure and ZXFactory is
contributing a high speed connection to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange.
The Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) is a neutral and independent
not-for-profit Internet exchange providing high quality
non-blocking professional peering services since the early
1990's. The project is funded through a generous contribution from the
INAIC Society and Foundation.
