Abstract:

Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) are part of the critical Internet infrastructure, the Domain Name System (DNS). ccTLDs help countries to promote, customize and manage internet usage in their respective contexts. This helps to advance cyber-visibility as well as development of local internet businesses and applications. Administering and managing the ccTLDs is a challenging activity. This is especially so in the developing countries. Examples of such challenges include inadequate awareness, unsupportive mindset, influence of unreliable infrastructure, etc. Accordingly, interesting knowledge and experience is accumulated along the process of addressing the challenges. This workshop aims at sharing experiences and knowledge learned in the course of managing the .tz ccTLD.
