[AfrICANN-discuss] Management of African ccTLDs: Panne du .td?

[Adamou Nacer]

Hi Mark,
here is a brief description of the present situation of the .td ccTLD:
- two of the primary dns servers are hosted in N'Djamena, while some are 
hosted by afnic and AfriNIC (via the anycast project)
- there was a need to changed the information in the IANA database as 
the nameservers registered there was not longer those really used. 
AfriNIC asked the DNS contact at Sotel to do that, but I am not sure he 
did it.
- the .td ccTLD is not a specific entity on its own: Sotel (national 
telco) is in charge of the technical management of the nameservers and 
OTRT (telecommunication regulator) acts as the sponsor organization. No 
staff, no specific organisation, no procedure, no policy framework 
built, no interaction with the local Internet community, etc. Even the 
importance of the DNS system is not understood by those in charge of 
their management.

The whole ccTLD is to be built.

I transfered Mark's email to the only contact I have in Sotel and with 
the help of some friend, I can also try to meet the managing director of 
O.T.R.T and Sotel on this subject if necessary.

Regards
