通往成功的路线图:ICANN 附属机构公共技术标识符 (PTI) 现发布首份《战略规划》
我们已于今天发布首份公共技术标识符 (Public Technical Identifiers, PTI) 的《战略规划》,完成了跨社群工作组编制的互联网号码分配机构 (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, IANA) 管理权移交实施计划的最后一步。

若您对此不甚了解,作为 IANA 管理权移交的一部分,PTI 于 2016 年 8 月设立,作为 ICANN 的一家附属机构,并与 ICANN 签署了合同和分包合同,开始代表 ICANN 执行 IANA 的职能。
在过去两年间,PTI 董事会与 ICANN 组织下属的 IANA 部门的员工和社群成员们展开了密切合作,编制了一份涉及 2020 年 7 月至 2024 年 6 月的初步《战略规划》。本规划深入审视了与 IANA 相关的战略宗旨,从而帮助 PTI 继续安全负责地管理互联网唯一标识符系统。
PTI 的《章程》规定需要专门编制一套《战略规划》。我们将这个规定视作一次详尽了解 IANA 相关宗旨的机会。作为一家 ICANN 的附属机构,我们毫无疑问将确保我们的目标和计划与 ICANN 的《五年战略规划》和《五年运营规划》保持一致。
作为 PTI 的董事会主席,我要特别感谢 PTI 和 ICANN 组织的员工和社群成员们帮助我们在如此困难的时期编制这套规划。
ICANN 总裁兼首席执行官马跃然 (Göran Marby) 和本人都坚信,这套初步《战略规划》将作为 PTI 和 IANA 职能在执行期间持续获得运营成功和改进的一张路线图。此外,这份规划将让社群更加深入地了解 PTI 的明示目标和战略,并有利于强调 PTI 在整个互联网生态系统中扮演的角色。
PTI 董事会还在这份《战略规划》中列出了一份愿景声明,进一步澄清本机构的宗旨,强调了 IANA 职能团队尝试把握的核心特质:
“我们致力于构建一个这样的世界,即通过我们对唯一标识符的可靠协调,使得互联网能够随时随地无缝运行。我们通过提供可靠的服务、满足客户的需求、持续找寻改进的机会,从而提高信任度。”
为了实现 PTI 的愿景、识别并缓和组织弱点,我们编制了五大关键战略宗旨。这些宗旨将聚焦在信任、安全、服务交付、卓越运营、和治理几个方面。这份《战略规划》列出了 PTI 实现各项宗旨的方式,并列出了具有针对性的结果,和任何潜在风险和缓和措施。PTI 的五大战略宗旨是:
- 确保利益相关方信任 IANA 是协调唯一标识符、确保全球互用性的适当机构。
- 监督并适应安全威胁,确保 IANA 运营的适应性和安全性。
- 继续推动运营计划的实施,根据 IANA 客户的需求,改善服务交付。
- 监督 IANA 职能的交付和绩效,实现卓越运营。
- 支持 ICANN 组织的治理工作,以保持并增强开放性、包容性、问责制以及透明度。
我们将继续与社群成员展开合作交流。如果您对 PTI 存有建议和意见,请随时联系我们。我们的年度运营规划与预算周期工作现已启动,我希望大家能够继续为这些流程提供您的宝贵意见。
面对这一艰难时期,衷心祝愿大家能够一切顺遂、阖家安康。
Domain Name System
Internationalized Domain Name ,IDN,"IDNs are domain names that include characters used in the local representation of languages that are not written with the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet ""a-z"". An IDN can contain Latin letters with diacritical marks, as required by many European languages, or may consist of characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic or Chinese. Many languages also use other types of digits than the European ""0-9"". The basic Latin alphabet together with the European-Arabic digits are, for the purpose of domain names, termed ""ASCII characters"" (ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange). These are also included in the broader range of ""Unicode characters"" that provides the basis for IDNs. The ""hostname rule"" requires that all domain names of the type under consideration here are stored in the DNS using only the ASCII characters listed above, with the one further addition of the hyphen ""-"". The Unicode form of an IDN therefore requires special encoding before it is entered into the DNS. The following terminology is used when distinguishing between these forms: A domain name consists of a series of ""labels"" (separated by ""dots""). The ASCII form of an IDN label is termed an ""A-label"". All operations defined in the DNS protocol use A-labels exclusively. The Unicode form, which a user expects to be displayed, is termed a ""U-label"". The difference may be illustrated with the Hindi word for ""test"" — परीका — appearing here as a U-label would (in the Devanagari script). A special form of ""ASCII compatible encoding"" (abbreviated ACE) is applied to this to produce the corresponding A-label: xn--11b5bs1di. A domain name that only includes ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens is termed an ""LDH label"". Although the definitions of A-labels and LDH-labels overlap, a name consisting exclusively of LDH labels, such as""icann.org"" is not an IDN."
