An information storage medium comprising: at least three recording layers (L0, L1, L2, L3), comprising a first recording layer, a second recording layer, and a third recording layer, the first recording layer being arranged farthest from the third recording layer, and the second recording layer being arranged between the first recording layer and the third recording layer; wherein an optical beam is incident, in use, on an upper recording layer (L2, L3), the upper recording layer being the third recording layer in case of three recording layers or a layer close to the third recording layer and farthest from the first recording layer in case of more than three recording layers; wherein each of the at least three recording layers (L0, L1, L2, L3) comprises an inner circumference zone and a data zone; and wherein each of the at least three recording layers (L0, L1, L2, L3) comprises at least one temporary disc management area, TDMA, (TDMAO, TDMA1, TDMA2, TDMA3, TDMA4, TDMA5, TDMA6) in the inner circumference zone, for recording information regarding a defect detected, in use, in the data zone; characterised in that: a sum of sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA0) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the first recording layer is smaller than a sum of sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA1) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the second recording layer, and the sum of the sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA1) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the second recording layer is smaller than a sum of sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA2, TDMA3) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the third recording layer. at least three recording layers (L0, L1, L2, L3), comprising a first recording layer, a second recording layer, and a third recording layer, the first recording layer being arranged farthest from the third recording layer, and the second recording layer being arranged between the first recording layer and the third recording layer; wherein an optical beam is incident, in use, on an upper recording layer (L2, L3), the upper recording layer being the third recording layer in case of three recording layers or a layer close to the third recording layer and farthest from the first recording layer in case of more than three recording layers; wherein each of the at least three recording layers (L0, L1, L2, L3) comprises an inner circumference zone and a data zone; and wherein each of the at least three recording layers (L0, L1, L2, L3) comprises at least one temporary disc management area, TDMA, (TDMAO, TDMA1, TDMA2, TDMA3, TDMA4, TDMA5, TDMA6) in the inner circumference zone, for recording information regarding a defect detected, in use, in the data zone; characterised in that: a sum of sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA0) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the first recording layer is smaller than a sum of sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA1) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the second recording layer, and the sum of the sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA1) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the second recording layer is smaller than a sum of sizes of the at least one TDMA (TDMA2, TDMA3) allocated on the inner circumference zone of the third recording layer.
