Implementation Details Among ICANN Staff, there is a growing recognition that open data is important part of transparency and as an organization, ICANN is behoved to move in that direction. There are two work efforts, not mutually exclusive, on open data. The first effort is led by David Conrad, the Chief Technology Officer, to examine DNS data available for public sharing. This would include data from the Registry Service Level Monitoring system, as well as authoritative machine readable gTLD lists from IANA. The second effort is led by Ashwin Rangan, the Chief Information Officer, to examine the ICANN operational data available for public sharing. This would include Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as well as IT server up time data. Both efforts are in their infancy at the moment. The At-Large Community has been a strong advocate for implementing “open data” standards in ICANN. The At-Large Technology Taskforce has identified several resources and shared them with ICANN Staff. Next Step The At-Large Community will maintain a watching brief on the two aforementioned efforts on open data. The At-Large Technology Taskforce will invite ICANN Staff in charge to regularly report on their progress to At-Large. |
