WWTLD ANNOUNCEMENT
18 August 1998
The World Wide Alliance of TLD Registries (WWTLD) announced at the opening
plenary of the Asia-Pacific International Forum on the White Paper (AP-IFWP)
that over 100 TLD registries had become signatories to its initial position
paper <www.canarie.ca/tld>.
WWTLD is to be established in co-operation with the regional ccTLD groups:
CENTR <www.ripe.net/centr> and APTLD <http://www.apng.org/apcctld/>
The WWTLD aims to promote dialogue between TLD registries and create a forum
for exchange of information, views and ideas. It also intends to represent TLD
registries and lobby on their behalf. A brief Msssion Statement for WWTLD
appears at the end of this mail.
The WWTLD held a meeting immediately prior to the AP-IFWP meeting where it was
formally stated that the WWTLD would remain an informal association, for the
moment, and would function in a completly open and transparent fashion as per
traditional Internet practices. Additionally, it was clarified that the WWTLD
does not expect to be the only group represented in a NAMES COUNCIL
as defined in the Postel or NSI proposals.
Now that the TLD administrators have confirmed their interest in supporting
the concept of the WWTLD the signatories will be asked to formally join the
WWTLD Association.
