Peter Van Roste, general manager of CENTR (Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries) spoke in Ljubljana on the matter of the inner workings of the world wide web and the different actors and communities that take care of different parts of the networks. He also warned about the innefective measure of DNS blocking and the problem of internet censorship.
Maj, who works at Register.si, is going to a birthday party today. He is an expert in DNS, DNSSec, FTP, SCP, IDP, HSP, PGP, RDAP, LACP …
And how does he explain to the nice lady what his job is? Do you think all “geeks” are shy?
We are transported back to 1998, when a domain name could only be the full or abbreviated registered name of an organisation, when .si registration documents travelled from office to office, and when you waited for days to be approved!
What bureaucratic hurdles did Peter have to overcome to become a .si domain holder?
At .si registry we have long resisted price increases for domain registration and renewal. From 2005 to 2015 the price for registration and renewal was 10 EUR, and from 2015 onwards it was 8 EUR.
