現代のドメイン地図

2016–2023

Googleが2018年に.appを、2019年に.devを開始したことは、テック大手が成功するTLDを運営できることを示しました。一方、2018年のGDPR施行はWHOISデータの利用可能性を大きく変え、ICANNはアクセスモデルの再設計を迫られました。2019年には.orgレジストリのプライベートエクイティへの売却が提案され大きな論争を呼びましたが、ICANNは2020年に最終的にこの取引を阻止しました。DNSSECの採用によるDNSセキュリティの強化が進み、DNS over HTTPSのような暗号化DNSプロトコルが主要ブラウザで普及しました。

意義

プライバシー規制は登録データのエコシステムを再構築し、DNSセキュリティは主流の関心事となりました。.org論争は、商業的利益とドメインレジストリの公共的な信託の役割との間の緊張を浮き彫りにし、今後のガバナンスの先例となりました。
