Despite being awarded .DK by the Danish Ministry of Science a few months ago, the Afilias/DotDK initiative will probably not run the country's top level domain after all.

Incumbent registry DK Hostmaster embarked on a determined propaganda campaign after loosing the government tender for the position it had held for so long. As a result, the Ministry told Parliament on Tuesday November 25 that DotDK would not be getting the licence to run .DK.

A lack of local Internet community support is the official reason. Not a very believable one. Expect much legal wrangling in the weeks ahead.

The licence for .DK is awarded for a 6 year period and DK Hostmaster already plans a significant number of upgrades to the way it does things if it does end up being given a second chance by its own government.

One is the adoption of the industry standard EPP protocol for registry/registrar system interfaces, which makes domain management a lot more efficient and reliable. Another is a move towards IPv6. And there's also talk of increased participation in international Internet governance bodies and organisations.

Un peu de stress n'a jamais fait de mal à personne, et en pousse plus d'un à devenir étonnamment efficace

Les meilleurs stratèges sont souvent ceux qui se calent longtemps dans le peloton et qui mettent le coup de rein quand certains se rendent compte que la ligne d'arrivée n'est peut-être pas si proche que ça, finalement.
