[dns-operations] .DESI to Be Placed in the Emergency Back-end Registry Operator Program

Hash: SHA512

Hello all,

ICANN is transferring the operation of the .DESI gTLD to an Emergency Back-end Registry Operator (EBERO) to ensure the continued operation of the generic top-level domain (gTLD) and protect registrants. As part of this transfer, .DESI has transitioned from a secure DNSSEC state to an insecure DNSSEC state (i.e., the DS records for .DESI have been removed from the root zone). After the transfer, ICANN will work with the designated EBERO provider to transition the .DESI gTLD back to a secure state (i.e., signing the zone for .DESI and adding new DS records for .DESI in the root zone). After evaluating available options, we believe the temporary move to an insecure state was the best available option.

For more information, please see the announcement at https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/desi-to-be-placed-in-the-emergency-back-end-registry-operator-program-16-10-2023-en
