Travel tip
by León Felipe Sánchez Ambía July 8, 2014

July 8, 2014

Dear all, As many of us travel to the U.S. from very diverse origins and for very varied reasons, I thought it would be useful for you to know that enhanced security measures are being put in place by the TSA and now seem to require that all electronic devices are properly powered as powerless devices will not be allowed on board the aircraft. This can be specially important since the next ICANN meeting will take place in Los Angeles. Heres a link to the official statement: http://www.tsa.gov/press/releases/2014/07/06/enhanced-security-measures-cer… I hope the information is useful. Best regards, León

Not entirely new, they have done this periodically over the years. I recall that leaving New Delhi in 2008 I had a high fever (and ultimately found out I had pneumonia) and for the life of me I could not get my iPOD to come to life (forgot the lock switch was on). They eventually just told me to board anyway.

A million domains taken down by email checks
by Joly MacFie July 6, 2014

July 6, 2014

Fwd over from the NCSG list. I underdtand that this would have been discussed in today's EWG and privacy sessions. Any comments? http://domainincite.com/16963-a-million-domains-taken-down-by-email-checks A million domains taken down by email checks <http://domainincite.com/16963-a-million-domains-taken-down-by-email-checks> Kevin Murphy <http://domainincite.com/about>, June 24, 2014, 14:34:25 (UTC), Domain Registrars <http://domainincite.com/category/domain-registrars> *Over 800,000 domain names have been suspended since the beginning of the year as a result of Whois email verification rules in the new ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement.* That’s according to the Registrars Stakeholder Group, which collected suspension data from registrars representing about 75% of all registered gTLD domain names. The actual number of suspended domains could be closer to a million. The 2013 RAA requires registrars to verify the email addresses listed in their customers’ Whois records. If they don’t receive the verification, they have to suspend the domain. The RrSG told the ICANN board in March that these checks were doing more harm than good <http://domainincite.com/16375-are-whois-email-checks-doing-more-harm-than-g…> and today Tucows CEO Elliot Noss presented, as promised, data to back up the claim. “There have been over 800,000 domains suspended,” Noss said. “We have stories of healthcare sites that have gone down, community groups whose sites have gone down.” “I think we can safely say millions of internet users,” he said. “Those are real people just trying to use the internet. They are our great unrepresented core constituency.” The RrSG wants to see contrasting data from law enforcement agencies and governments — which pushed hard for Whois verification — showing that the RAA requirement has had a demonstrable benefit. Registrars asked at the Singapore meeting in March that law enforcement agencies (LEA) be put on notice that they can’t ask for more Whois controls until they’ve provided such data and ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade said <http://domainincite.com/16375-are-whois-email-checks-doing-more-harm-than-g…> “It shall be done by London.” Noss implied that the majority of the 800,000 suspended names belong to innocent registrants, such as those who had simply changed email addresses since registering their names. “What was a lovely political win that we said time and time again in discussion after discussion was impractical and would provide no benefit, has demonstrably has created harm,” Noss said. He was received with cautious support by ICANN board members. Chair Steve Crocker wonder aloud how many of the 800,000 suspended domains are owned by bad guys, and he noted that LEA don’t appear to gather data in the way that the registrars are demanding. “We were subjected, all of us, to heavy-duty pressure from the law enforcement community over a long period of time. We finally said, ‘Okay, we hear you and we’ll help you get this stuff implemented,’”, he added. “That creates an obligation as far as I’m concerned on their part.” “We’re in a — at least from a moral position — in a strong position to say, ‘You must help us understand this. Otherwise, you’re not doing your part of the job’”, he said. Chehade also seemed to support the registrars’ position that LEA needs to justify its demands and offered to take their data and concerns to the LEA and the Governmental Advisory Committee. “They put restrictions on us that are causing harm, according to these numbers,” he said. “Let’s take this back at them and say, hey, you ask for all these things, this is what happened.” “If you can’t tell me what good this has done, be aware not to come back and ask for more,” he said. “I’m with you on this 100%. I’m saying let’s use the great findings you seem to have a found and well-package them in a case and I will be your advocate.” Director Mike Silber also spoke in support of the RrSG’s position. “My view is if what you are saying is correct, the LEA’s have blown their credibility,” he said. “They’re going to have to do a lot of work before we impose similar disproportional requirements on actors that are not proven to be bad actors.” So what does this all mean for registrants? I don’t think there’s any ongoing process right now to get the Whois verification requirements overturned — that would require a renegotiation of the RAA — but it does seem to mean demands from governments and police are going to have to be much more substantiated in future. Noss attempted to link the problem to the recommendations of the Whois Expert Working Group (EWG), which propose a completely revamped, centralized Whois system with much more verification <http://domainincite.com/16855-whois-killer-is-a-recipe-for-a-clusterfuck> and not much to benefit registrants. To paraphrase: if email verification causes so much harm, what harms could be caused by the EWG proposal? The EWG was not stuffed with LEA or governments, however, so it couldn’t really be characterized as another set of unreasonable demands from the same entities. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- -
