TOP LEVEL DOMAIN ASSOCIATION
Compliance Committee
The
Compliance/Endorsements Committee shall study, investigate, and record all
claims for Top_Level Domains it can discover, both operational and otherwise,
where there exists the possibility or there is the actual occurrence of
duplicate TLD strings in the Inclusive Name Space.
The
Compliance/Endorsements committee shall, to the best of its ability and in the
interest of the TLDA, determine which instances of any claims to Top-level
Domains in the Inclusive Name Space should be marked or otherwise designated as
the recommended version of a colliding duplicate TLD string for the purposes of
being carried by all of the various and publicly available DNS service
providers. Such recommendations will be provided to the Records and TapRoot
Committees for archives and publishing, subject to approval of these findings by
the Board of Directors, and the TapRoot committee will so designate the
recommended TLD strings as per the findings and recommendations of the
Compliance/Endorsements Committee.
The
Compliance/Endorsements Committee, in conjunction with the TapRoot Committee
will also issue reports of the level of compliance for each identified DNS
service provider including the level of operational viability and compliance of
individual TLDs regarding their adherence to the TLDA recommended published
TLDs, as well as the level of perceived inclusiveness relating to how complete a
particular DNS service providers repertoire of TLDs from the Inclusive Name
Space is. For DNS service providers, such as root-level service providers, they
will be rated on a percentage basis in a dual rating of %#1 / %#2, where the
first percentage number equals the level of compliance with TLD published
recommendations and the second percentage number equals the level of
inclusiveness with the total number of TLDs carried by the service provider
compared to the total number of non-colliding instances of TLD strings in the
TapRoot. For the individual TLDs the rating shall be on a level basis where
there are multiple levels of compliance and operational viability (Level 1,
Level 2, etc.) according to the published recommendations of the TLDA and
without regard to whether such TLDs are in collision with other TLDs by the same
String.
