Apr, 2009 : Afilias Sponsors ISC and BIND 10 Deployement Initiative


📅 - Company joins Steering Committee to help oversee the next evolution of the DNS.

Afilias, a provider of registry services, today announced that it is a sponsor of Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) and its BIND 10 development effort. The company states that it joins other industry leaders as a financial sponsor and member of a steering committee which will oversee the multi-year development project to ensure that the next version of the BIND Domain Name Server architecture is design to meet the needs of the global DNS community.

Afilias is pleased to support this initiative to make the DNS be more flexible, resilient and secure to meet the demands of the next wave of Internet applications and technologies.''

''We value the commitment and shared vision of a partner like Afilias. ISC is pleased to have Afilias as a sponsor of this important project to for the global DNS community,'' said Paul Vixie, President of ISC.
