ICANN determines the risks associated with the launch of the new gTLD

International, ICANN published a study "erroneous traffic" and offered to discuss measures to reduce the risks. Domain. RUS was in a group of domains "low risk." If the ICANN proposal be adopted, the delegation of the blast zone will be possible at the beginning of 2014: 120 days after signing the contract with ICANN. Aug. 5, 2013 ICANN published a detailed study on conflict of top-level domains that are used in local area networks, and new domain zones to be registered as part of New gTLD.

 According to the researchers, because of the coincidence of some domain names there is a threat of leakage of information from local networks to the Internet. study found that almost all (1,367 of 1,409) of the blast zone, the registration of which were filed, enter the logs "erroneous traffic." ICANN has proposed to discuss a number of measures to reduce the risks associated with a possible conflict. 80% of the domains were classified as "low risk" (low-risk). ICANN proposes to continue the process of signing contracts for the management of these areas, but the launch of domains will be possible only after 120 days of signing the contract.

 The group got the domain. RUS. 20% of the domains have been conditionally allocated to a risk group (uncalculated-risk). They suggested to postpone the launch by 3-6 months before the end of detailed research and the adoption of additional measures to ensure the security. Domains. home and. corp recognized as "dangerous" (high-risk). ICANN proposes to postpone their launch indefinitely. Registrars are given the opportunity to withdraw the application, or to take measures to address the risks. "The findings were not unexpected for us, - says Sergey Beads, director of" Russian Names "- This large-scale expansion of domain space for the first time.

This is a very complicated process. " Recall that a week earlier, ICANN International expressed its willingness to sign an agreement with the company "Russian Names", which will manage the new top-level domain. RUS. Domain. RUS first among the Russian proposals has entered the stage of the agreement.
