TLD-OPS
Community volunteers under auspices of the TLD-OPS Standing Committee are currently drafting a playbook containing basic concepts for disaster recovery and business continuity specific to ccTLDs. During a collaborative session at ICANN63, TLD-OPS organized an in-depth discussion focused on the various aspects of disaster recovery. The input from ICANN63 forms the basis of the playbook. The drafting team is using google docs as a collaborative tool, and the team will meet as well on Sunday in Kobe. One of the challenges the team is facing is how to meet the needs of smaller ccTLDs.
