[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] registry software availability

[Elaine Pruis <elaine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI,

This is a response to Eric's question about the availability of the  
CoCCA software.  CoCCA is a group of ccTLD operators that have shared  
developments costs to create a world-class domain registry tool, and  
the policy structure to support it.  It is in use by more than 30  
TLDs, including a few IDN TLDs.  The current licensing can be found at http://cocca.cx/index.php/cocca-tools.html
Another openly available registry tool is FRED, built by the .CZ  
operators.  http://fred.nic.cz/
Both of these registry tools have been built for ccTLDs, which do not  
have the same exact technical requirements as the new gTLD program, so  
the applicant should perform due diligence to confirm the registry  
they choose has all the necessary functions (searchable WHOIS, DNSSEC  
support, ICANN reporting, etc).
I'll ask around to find out if there are any others that can be posted  
to the list.
