Verisign and ICANN tinker with DNS

[Rubber Duck]

Root Zone Updates: VeriSign has deployed a new automated root zone provisioning system for operational testing in coordination with the Internet Assigned Names Authority (IANA), the entity that oversees global IP address allocation, DNS root zone management, and other Internet protocol assignments. Upon the completion of testing by IANA, this system will provide an easier interface for TLD registry operators to submit changes to update to the root zone. This new system is expected to increase the overall efficiency, accuracy and speed of changes by automating currently time-consuming and cumbersome manual processes.
