One example is the Research on Internet in Slovenia project, coordinated by the University of Ljubljana, which provides a wide variety of useful Internet-related statistics for that country on its website [29].

The ISC is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing and maintaining quality Open Source reference implementations of core Internet protocols.
ISC code helps keep key protocols running by insuring interoperability, compliance with important aspects of the standards, and by providing an easy "plug-and-play" solution for vendors to offer products that are compatible with the rest of the Internet.
ISC efforts are supported by the donations of generous sponsors and other parties who believe that freely available implementations of key protocols are necessary to keep the Internet running.

 Internet consortium to launch fee-based security alert service
The Internet Software Consortium (ISC), which develops the server software most commonly used to direct traffic on the Web, is moving to create a fee-based information-sharing club that officials at the organization said is meant to give software vendors and other companies early warnings about security holes affecting its products.
Paul Vixie, chairman of the Redwood City, Calif.-based ISC, said in an interview Monday that the new fee-based exchange is aimed at opening up more direct communication channels with software vendors, Internet service providers and other companies when holes are found in BIND and the other software that his organization develops.
Some called ISC's plan the first step down a "slippery slope" that could lead to a time when the only people who will get the information needed to protect their networks will be those who are willing to pay a fee.

 Mishandled patch trips security alarms | Tech News on ZDNet
For the past two years, Richard Clarke, special presidential adviser for cybersecurity, has expounded the need for software companies and developers to understand that the country's national security could rely on how responsibly software vulnerabilities, and their fixes, are handled.
The ISC's flub is the latest incident to call into question whether software companies, security researchers, and open-source development groups can be relied on to responsibly handle the vulnerabilities found in the software that forms the foundation of the Internet.
The software makers would rather not publicize the holes in their products at all, but at the very least, they'd like time to prepare patches before the flaws are made known.

 CONSORTIUM AND STANDARDS LIST
ISC was originally founded in 1994 as the Internet Software Consortium, Inc. to continue the work of maintaining and enhancing BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain).
BIND was evolved by ISC from its original development at UC Berkeley as part of the BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) system.
ISC has expanded operational activities beyond root name service, to include Internet hosting facilities for other open source projects (NetBSD, XFree86, kernel.org), secondary name service for more than 50 domains, and a DNS OARC (Operations, Analysis and Research Center) for monitoring and reporting of the Internet's Domain Name System.

Reference implementations of Internet standards often have the weight of defacto standards and our goal is to ensure that those reference implementations are properly supported and made freely available to the Internet community.
ISC efforts continue to be supported by the donations of generous sponsors, and other parties who believe that freely available implementations of key protocols are necessary to keep the Internet running.
The ISC administers these grants of money and equipment to qualified software developers who then create and/or maintain freely available software used on most of the Internet.

BIND is software that allows Web servers run by companies and Internet service providers to translate text-based Internet addresses into numbered IP addresses that can be read and understood by computers.
CERT, PGP Security and ISC officials are most concerned about a new vulnerability in the Transaction Signatures (TSig) feature of BIND that could enable malicious hackers to take control of Web servers and either redirect or block Internet requests that are sent to them.
ISC rated the severity of the TSig vulnerability as "critical" in the notice on its Web site.

And though Vixie is loathe to use the words "for profit," he says it is "likely" that the ISC "will not continue to pursue 501(c) [non-profit] status." In other words, the ISC is changing from a charity to a Silicon Valley company.
The ISC's new executive director, David Conrad, formerly with APNIC, says that while charging for BIND is not even "within the realm of discussion at this point," the way BIND development is bankrolled is about to change.
Because so many vendors have developed their own news server software, the reference implementation maintained by the ISC is "not helping very much," according to Vixie.

Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) is a nonprofit public benefit corporation dedicated to supporting the infrastructure of the universal connected self-organizing Internet—and the autonomy of its participants—by developing and maintaining core production quality software, protocols, and operations.
ISC was originally founded as Internet Software Consortium, Inc., in 1994 to continue the work of maintaining and enhancing BIND following in the footsteps of U. Berkeley, Digital Equipment Corp., and Vixie Enterprises.
BIND was then (and is now) an essential component of the Internet's infrastructure, and the founders (Paul Vixie, Carl Malamud, and Rick Adams) felt very strongly that BIND's continued support and enhancement should be managed and funded by an independent entity.
