Request for Information Issued on Proposed High Security Zone Verification
Program

22 September 2010

ICANN is posting today a Request for Information (RFI)
(http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-program-request-for-informa
tion-20sep10-en.pdf) on the proposed High Security Zone Verification
Program (the "HSTLD Program"). The purpose of the RFI is to assist the
ICANN community in understanding potential frameworks and approaches to
evaluate new gTLD registries against the criteria in the draft HSTLD
Program, determine where improvements to draft criteria and the overall
program may be necessary to ensure its success, and to assess the viability
of the proposed HSTLD Program.

ICANN, in cooperation with its community-led Advisory Group, has developed
a proposed voluntary HSTLD Program consisting of control elements to
increase security and trust in the Domain Name System (DNS) for those
Top-Level Domain (TLD) registry operators that elect to participate in the
program. This proposed program has been identified as one of nine measures
intended to mitigate malicious conduct in new gTLDs.

For additional information about the HSTLD Program or the Advisory Group,
please see the concept paper, Model for a High Security Zone Verification
Program
(http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/high-security-zone-verification-0
4oct09-en.pdf), the Public Archive of HSTLD Proceedings
(http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-program-en.htm), and the
Draft Program Development Snapshot #2- High Security Zone Top-Level Domain
Advisory Group (HSTLD Advisory Group)
(http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-program-snapshot-2-16jun10-
en.pdf). Respondents should pay careful attention to Appendix A of Snapshot
#2
(http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/draft-hstld-appendix-a-worksheet-
21sep10-en.pdf) as it outlines potential control elements for registries,
registrars and registrants in the proposed HSTLD Program.

Respondents are requested to reply to hstldrfi () icann org by 21 October
2010. Questions about the RFI should be submitted to the same email address
by 11 October 2010.
