In Marina del Rey, many colleagues have expressed interest to further discuss how to sign ccTLD-ICANN contracts, a mailing list cctld-lex@wwtld.org has been organized by the secretariat to assist in these discussions.
To subscribe send an email to majordomo@wwtld.org with "subscribe cctld-lex" in the body of your message. Archives in cctld-lex archive (access with a password to the ccTLD members only).
The Interim Secretariat views this as an important gathering having direct contribution to our ccTLD community as a whole hence encourage members to participate in the mailing list. The activity may be viewed as an extending the coverage of what CENTR has been doing headed by Willie Black to the entire ccTLD community.
The jurisdiction and applicable law under which the ccTLD-ICANN contract is to be signed are to be discussed. The ccTLD may also wish to consider the International Chamber of Commerce Maritime Arbitration scheme as a basis for ccTLD-ICANN contract.

IAB Technical Comment on the Unique DNS Root
The ccTLD Constituency of the DNSO is composed of ccTLD Registries. The roster of ccTLD Registries is maintained by ICANN in IANA ccTLD database http://www.iana.org/cctld.html
On 18 June 2000 the IANA ccTLD Root-Zone Whois database presentation has been changed and updated. The IANA will, in time, operate a port 43 and web Whois service for the root. Root whois will be coordinated with root zone file generation. For now, the IANA have the web service for the contact information only because of difficulties in keeping the NSI Registrar system current.
The IANA Internic whois database Custodianship, see ../../ccwhois/, is of utmost importance to the ccTLD Constituency.
