The quiet value of .gov.ccTLD: restricted SLDs as trust infrastructure

A letter arrived in my letterbox recently. Green branding, an Australian Company Number prominently displayed, a central Sydney address, a reference number, a QR code, and a "renewal fee" of $99 for one year or $171 for three. The sender was "Registration", trading through reg.com.au. My business ...

.de for a responsible internet — that is our claim, and we really mean it. Even, or especially, when things go wrong.

The day the German internet ground to a halt.

This was supposed to be a post about the CENTR Jamboree in Berlin, hosted by DENIC. Instead, it's a post about the night the .de zone stopped resolving — and an event with two faces.

The event was unlike any CENTR Jamboree before, and one I hope won't be repeated any time soon. I had very little sleep — not because of great social events, but because of the amount of work in the crisis team.

🌐 #Jamboree2026 in Berlin, what a week!

From 6 to 8 May, the Afnic - Internet Made In France team had the opportunity to exchange with the domain name community on the future of the DNS ecosystem.

A big thank you to CENTR and the entire DENIC eG team for organizing this new edition and bringing together so many people committed to a trusted, resilient and innovative internet.

See you next year! 👋

Fun times introducing our new #DNSSEC signing solution at the #CENTR Jamboree n Lyon. #DNS #OpenSource #rustlang
Great venue for @alexband to present Nameshed, the future DNSSEC signing solution by @nlnetlabs, at #CENTRJamboree25. With input from the #CENTR community and beyond, we’re working on a flexible, modular approach to DNSSEC signing.

#CENTR Now, #RPP,, the [mostly for domain names] provisioning protocol which wants to replace #EPP.

An #IETF working group is designing it. The goal: REST architecture, and stuff that even a Javascript developer know (HTTPS and JSON).
