ICANN appoints seven members to study blockchain naming system integration with DNS
By
Andrew Allemann
Summary
ICANN has named seven members to a Technical Study Group examining the integration of blockchain-based naming systems (like Unstoppable Domains and ENS) with the traditional DNS. The group must make determinations before the new TLD application window closes. Members include representatives from Unstoppable Domains, ENS, Identity Digital, and ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee, among others. The study focuses on alt-root TLDs based on blockchain technology and their potential integration with ICANN's gTLD system.
