2005 in review 2005 will be forever seen as the year in which the US
government managed to keep unilateral control of the internet, despite
widespread opposition by the rest of the world.

Redelegation

We are talking about the ever-troublesome redelegation process for country
code top-level domains (ccTLDs) - like .uk for the United Kingdom, .fr for
France and .de for Germany.

There are currently 246 ccTLDs in existence (although there should really only
be 240), and every year, there are arguments over who should be entitled to
run them. Mostly ownership of the domains is stable but in recent years
African governments have been keen to take more of a role in running their
country's Internet, causing a glut.

This year, 2005, there have been seven redelegations: The Falkland Islands
(.fk); Hong Kong (.hk); Iraq (.iq); Kazakhstan (.kz); South Georgia and South
Sandwich Islands (.gs); Timor-Leste (.tl); and Tokelau (.tk).

Of these, three were agreed to before July and are of little consequence,
being no more than agreed changes in owner or country circumstances.

However, on 28 July 2005 at a special board meeting of internet overseeing
organisation ICANN, ownership of both Iraq (.iq) and Kazakhstan (.kz) was
changed in a way that soon after saw a change in ownership for South Georgia
and South Sandwich Islands (.gs) and Tokelau (.tk).
