==Inaccessibility of .eg & مصر.== | |||
In January, 2011, the Egyptian Government, in the midst of a civil uprising, shut down the country's primary servers, which led to the inaccessibility of [[.eg]] and [[مصر.]] domains for the rest of the world. Both the Egyptian Universities Network and NTRA, operators for [[.eg]] and [[مصر.]] respectively, requested their secondary [[DNS]] servers outside Egypt, to maintain the web pages on the basis of last received data. [[ICANN]] considered this a serious issue, and one which could also occur as a consequence of a natural disaster. Therefore, to maintain a stable internet environment throughout the world, [[ICANN]] has proposed that the [[ccNSO]] make a policy for handling such situations.<ref>[http://blog.icann.org/2011/01/status-report-on-the-dns-in-egypt/ ICANN Blog]</ref> | |||
