Subscribers regularly receive an automated email that contains an overview of all subscribed ccTLDs (170 of 293 ccTLDs have joined) and their incident response contact information. ccTLD operators also use the list to share security alerts with their peers and receive alerts from the Internet Assigned Names Authority (IANA) and the ICANN security team.

The intent of the proposal is to accelerate IPv4 consumption and consequently encourage IPv6 uptake and adoption. The two proposals have conflicting objectives on extending the lifetime of IPv4 space, with the former prolonging IPv4 lifetime, while the latter shortens it.
