PKNIC Related - Urdu Domain Names

AA All.

 

This discussion, though triggered through my initial message, seems to be taking a different turn. 

 

I had not inquired about the contact because of governance related matters. 

 

We are an academic/research center and have been working on Urdu Domain names for some time now, e.g. see the paper on Urdu Domain Names at http://www.crulp.org/research/papers.htm which was presented at INMIC 2006.  We would like to see domain names in local languages supported on .pk and are thus intending to contact PKNIC.  This matter is not related to ministry or to business community, but is a significant matter for the non-english speaking Pakistani citizens. 

 

Again, we would appreciate if anybody knows how to get in touch with PKNIC.

 

Regards,
Sarmad

I think your information is inaccurate about the astronomical fee etc.  I am unable to ascertain what type of ICANN Accreditation you hold since it is not mentioned on your website.  I think it’s a good step for Pakistani stakeholders to look towards International accreditations especially ICANN accreditations.  Well done.  Please do let me know what accreditation this is so I can make a mention of it at the next ICANN working group conference call.  I am sure it will be much appreciated.  Also it may be a good idea to mention the type of accreditation on the website with a link to ICANN’s accreditation list on their website.

Dear Zahid Jamil Sb.,

 

Preferably it should go to private sector.  Also please correct me if I am wrong, your offices started, I think last year, to consider any legal cases about PKNIC policies and UDRP violation as per agreement with PKNIC for Rs.100,000 fees per domain/per case.  I cannot verify because your site is down.  If correct, then what happened as I don’t see such relationship any more.

Question:  Do we really want the Government to control the ccTLD ? 

 

In the UK, Germany and the US this is done by the private sector.

Please note – setting up something with PTA and Government support would not necessarily translate into the shifting of ccTLD. Although, their backing would be required. This is a legal case that has to be justified, along with technical and commercial expertise. ICANN has a very ‘defined’ procedure which needs to be followed – for ccTLD Re-delegation.

 

Please see the following link for ccTLD as maintained by ICANN http://www.iana.org/cctld/

And the following is the ccTLD Re-Delegation Link: http://www.iana.org/cctld/redelegation-overview-09July05.html

 

I think what we need to unilaterally agree on is what sort of model/costing are we looking at after re-delegation:

 

-          Will a domain cost Rs. 200/year – why not cheaper

-          Will there be a walk-in office?

-          Will there be domain parking be offered?

-          Would telephone support be offered?

-          Would support be improved than the one we have currently?

-          Will there be an affiliate program directly tied into the registry?

-          Will there be a reseller program directly tied into the registry?

-          Will there be toll-free helpline?

-          Would other payment alternatives be provided?

-          Would the dispute resolution time-frames and processes be more defined?

-          Would there be account management for bulk-domain holders (not necessarily part of the registry reseller program)

-          Would there be discounts / different pricing slabs for quantity-based purchases

-          Would the .gov.pk still be free to the government?

-          Would a new management committee be set in place to review the rules and guidelines every so often

-          Would the domain names servers be placed in Pakistan? (preferably master nodes)

-          What sort of laws would the domain-registry be subjected to?

-          What guarantee is there if any toher organization takes over, public/private/joint that they will not screw up what is already inplace?

-          Transition plans

-          DR Plans

-          Can we compare as to what the regional and internationally acclaimed registries offer as ancillary services when a domain is booked through them?

 

These are questions that need answering before we just jump ahead. 10+ years of the registry and less than 30,000 domains for a country with a massive population, it is no small wonder that people are opting for .com/.net/et-al domains because they are cheaper in cost and offer a whole lot more.

Can a team set up a complete case – I can ensure that we can get PTA and Government support. This issue needs to be resolved and can be done by a set of professionals who know the nuances and issues involved.  Need committed volunteers for this!

 

I along with several people had tried to address this issue when we launched Supernet in 1994 and Internet was taking off in Pakistan. I even met with Asher in the US.

 

Over the users, I have tried (unsuccessfully) to get the industry together on this and other  issues. Jamal and I had have even tried to set up PISOC and I ensured that the MoITT gave it the approvals and support, but the problem is systemic. Most owners and top managements are clueless and the professionals who work for them are either not empowered or are apathetic to these critical issues.

 

If we can set up a clear roadmap which addresses all the issues (legal – specially technical, ownership, transfer, reliability, back-up, costs, etc) we can take this up formally on the relevant fora.

Does anybody know how to get in touch with PKNIC (not PakNIC)?  I have tried to get in touch with them using the voice, fax and other methods they have suggested on their website (http://www.pknic.net.pk/) but have received no response. 

 

Does anybody else face the same problem?
