One of our main goals is to raise awareness among the technical community that we are committed to providing a more consistent and uniformly secure, resilient, and reliable RPKI service.</p> <p>An important outcome from this year’s work is the documentation of a problem statement for the current Trust Anchor configuration and the exploration of potential solutions.

In October 2023, the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) was asked by the NRO Executive Council to update the ICP-2. As a next step, the ASO AC in consultation with its stakeholders worked on the proposed principles document which includes the core principles to be included in the next ICP-2 version and this was recently published. Additionally, on 8 October 2024, a survey was launched by the NRO seeking community feedback from all the RIR communities on those core principles.</p> <div class="tags"> <a href="/component/tags/tag/icp-2" class="" rel="tag">ICP-2</a> </div> <p class="readmore"> <a class="btn btn-default" href="/navigating-the-icp-2-review-process" itemprop="url"> Continue </a> </p> </article>  </div> <div class="col-sm-6"> <article class="item column-2 item-featured" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"> <div class="entry-header"> <h2 itemprop="name"> <a href="/evaluating-the-technical-environment-of-cctlds" itemprop="url"> Evaluating the Technical Environment of ccTLDs</a> </h2> <dl class="article-info"> <dt class="article-info-term"></dt> <dd class="createdby" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> Posted By <span itemprop="name" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Written by ">Yasir Haq</span> </dd> <dd class="published"> Published On - <time datetime="2024-10-21T09:00:49+04:00" itemprop="datePublished" title="Published On -"> 21 October 2024 </time> </dd> <dd class="hits"> <meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserPageVisits:543" /> Hits: 543</dd> </dl> </div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="/ast/Evaluating_the_Techincal_ccTLDs.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Government websites and online businesses commonly use country-code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) to reach their citizens and target local customers. Like other TLDs, ccTLDs’ security relies on a resilient domain name system (DNS) infrastructure. A robust DNS ecosystem is essential to protect against cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and to ensure continued access to online services during crises. It also boosts global trust by showcasing digital maturity.</p> <div class="tags"> <a href="/component/tags/tag/cctld" class="" rel="tag">ccTLD</a>, <a href="/component/tags/tag/internet-society-pulse" class="" rel="tag">Internet-Society-Pulse</a> </div> <p class="readmore"> <a class="btn btn-default" href="/evaluating-the-technical-environment-of-cctlds" itemprop="url"> Continue </a> </p> </article>  </div> </div> <div class="items-row row-1 row clearfix"> <div class="col-sm-6"> <article class="item column-1" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"> <div class="entry-header"> <h2 itemprop="name"> <a href="/ipv6-zero-to-certified" itemprop="url"> From Zero to Certified: AFRINIC Empowers a Global Community with IPv6 Expertise</a> </h2> <dl class="article-info"> <dt class="article-info-term"></dt> <dd class="createdby" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> Posted By <span itemprop="name" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Written by ">Webmaster</span> </dd> <dd class="published"> Published On - <time datetime="2024-09-05T09:00:49+04:00" itemprop="datePublished" title="Published On -"> 05 September 2024 </time> </dd> <dd class="hits"> <meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserPageVisits:6314" /> Hits: 6314</dd> </dl> </div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="/ast/2024/_Blog_-_From_Zero_to_Certified_AFRINIC_Empowers_a_Global_Community_with_IPv6_Expertise_1.png" alt="" /></p> <p>The Internet relies on a robust and future-proof addressing system – enter IPv6 - in its ever-expanding capacity. Understanding the critical need to equip individuals with this essential knowledge, AFRINIC recently concluded its highly successful Cohort 5 of the "Zero to Certified IPv6 in 21 Days" workshop. This online training program transcended borders, welcoming a diverse audience eager to delve into the world of IPv6. The response was nothing short of astounding. The workshop's landing page witnessed a surge of interest, recording 563 hits, reflecting the growing recognition of IPv6's importance.</p> <div class="tags"> <a href="/component/tags/tag/ipv6" class="label label-info" rel="tag">IPv6</a> </div> <p class="readmore"> <a class="btn btn-default" href="/ipv6-zero-to-certified" itemprop="url"> Continue </a> </p> </article>  </div> <div class="col-sm-6"> <article class="item column-2" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"> <div class="entry-header"> <h2 itemprop="name"> <a href="/are-differences-in-rir-rpki-implementations-hindering-rpki-adoption" itemprop="url"> Are differences in RIR RPKI implementations hindering RPKI adoption?</a> </h2> <dl class="article-info"> <dt class="article-info-term"></dt> <dd class="createdby" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> Posted By <span itemprop="name" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Written by ">Silva Berenguer</span> </dd> <dd class="published"> Published On - <time datetime="2024-08-27T09:00:49+04:00" itemprop="datePublished" title="Published On -"> 27 August 2024 </time> </dd> <dd class="hits"> <meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserPageVisits:4141" /> Hits: 4141</dd> </dl> </div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="/ast/2024/Blog_nro.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Authored by:Sofia Silva Berenguer, RPKI Program Manager, NRO</p> <p>A few months ago we shared the outcomes that are guiding the work that we are doing as part of the NRO RPKI Program.
