The good, bad, and the ugly of censorship:France's Citizens Expected to Help Build Internet Blacklist
by Jeffrey A. Williams June 15, 2008

June 15, 2008

All, Well it seems that our fellow netcitizens in France are in the censorship business at the government level. The good is that they seem to be focusing in on Child Pornography, hate sites, and terrorist related content sites for the moment. The bad might be is that this could expand into a politically expediant, politically correct exercise that has it's own obvious and questionably valid results. The ugly is that if the bad good morfs into personel or political vendettas, the uglyness will spread like a horrible virus. Lets all hope that France sticks to Child Poronography, hate and terrorist web sites/domain names.

Re: [At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Issues for Paris
by Jeffrey A. Williams June 15, 2008

June 15, 2008

Jacque, Evan, and all, The obvious problems with the seemingly increasing complex organization structure of the ALAC, and the RALO's as well as the differences between the them is now, and continues to lead to gross misunderstanding and will continue to do so as Wendy and Danny have frequently elaborated upon in various discussions on the reletive forums associated. So I fully agree with Evan on that score, but would suggest that simplification, transparency, accountability, and openness will go far to improving this now growing and unecessarly complex organizational and operational structure problems I also fully agree with Jacque's concerns and would expand on her concern in that if any and all users cannot have a voice and vote on all issues introduced, able to introduce new or developing concerns that may not be obviously recognized, the mission of ICANN via the ALAC or the RALO's cannot ever be fulfilled.

June 14, 2008

Jacque and all, I for one am very greatful for Milton's informing those of interest that the NCUC will be providing some form of remote participation in Paris. Hopefully the same can be done for Egypt. I am afraid and somewhat disallusioned in reading Milton's evaluation in a positive light that an increase in participation and from 14% to 25-33% of "noncommercial users (public interest groups, NGOs, and individuals of a public interest bent)". It seems rather self defeating and non-representative to limit such representation and participation arbitrarily. Why not allow without restriction or constriction of any and all interested parties ( meaning users of all types ) participation and representation individually? -----Original Message----- >From: "Jacqueline A.

Re: [At-Large] Compliance Issue
by Jeffrey A. Williams June 13, 2008

June 13, 2008

Stacy and all, Thank you for you thoughtful and specifically crafted response. Very refreshing for a change on this ALAC forum. I agree that there is of course no need for a change in the RAA to address this inparticular compliance issue. I am however concerned as a number of our members have been repeatedly reminding me that lack of response to correspondance to Registrars, Registries, both IP and TLD, as well as Admin. and Spam contact Email addresses, such as Google.com's, Gmail.com, and Yahoo.com's in respect to spam reporting and phishing reporting by users, and most of our members has become the norm over the past 5+ years. Here we believe that a amendment to the RAA contracts to specifically correct and certainly punish the practioneers of same, is necessary. -----Original Message----- >From: Stacy Burnette <stacy.burnette(a)icann.org> >Sent: Jun 13, 2008 11:37 AM >To: "dannyyounger(a)yahoo.com" <dannyyounger(a)yahoo.com> >Cc: Mike Zupke <Mike.Zupke(a)icann.org>, Tim Cole <Tim.Cole(a)icann.org>, At-Large Worldwide <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> >Subject: Re: [At-Large] Compliance Issue > >Dear Mr. Younger: > >Thank you for writing me regarding this important matter.

Compliance Issue
by Danny Younger June 13, 2008

June 13, 2008

Dear Ms. Burnette, I write to you regarding a compliance issue: One week ago the community was notified that two registrars had lost their accreditation. However, when one visits their websites we see that they are currently indicating to the public that they are still ICANN Accredited registrars. We earlier had the same problem with RegisterFly that continued to identify itself as ICANN-accredited until the Courts intervened. May we ask how this issue will be addressed? Are there changes proposed to the RAA that would deal with this matter in the future? regards, Danny

Re: [At-Large] E-mail Etiquette

Michele and all, I am sorry that you seem to have a personal vendetta towards myself. Very unprofessional. As a matter of technical prudance however, the better way of blocking Email from a perticular Email address is to block that through your provider if they have such blocking software avaliable or write a script to accomplish same. I do both. For instance, I and now all of our members do block telly.org, GOV.NU.CA, franceatlarge.org, and hovtek.com.au as a matter of personal protection as those Domain names have mis configured DNS's and represent a clear an present danger to any and all whom recieve any sort of transmission from same at this time. These Domain Names of course are the Domain Names of members of the ALAC and the NARALO participants, unfortunately. Yet the Admin's of these DN's have been notified as per IETF and ICANN policy of said deficiencies and the respective hazzards they pose to the public accordingly. All have been reported to the appropriate state and federal authorities as required by law as well. I would hope that he Forum admin would take such into account, but thus far such has not been the case... -----Original Message----- >From: Michele Neylon <michele(a)blacknight.ie> >Sent: Jun 12, 2008 7:47 AM >To: At-Large Worldwide <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> >Subject: Re: [At-Large] E-mail Etiquette > > >On 2 Jun 2008, at 19:38, Thompson, Darlene wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> May I recommend that if anybody feels the need to reply to any e- >> mail from Jeffrey Williams that, rather than hitting the "Reply to >> All" button that you rather cut and paste it into a fresh e-mail, >> sending it only to a specific list. > >That breaks threading in a lot of email clients > >The simplest solution is to hit reply and replace the address in the >"to" field. > > >Mr Michele Neylon >Blacknight Solutions >Hosting & Colocation, Brand Protection >http://www.blacknight.com/ >http://blog.blacknight.com/ >Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 >Locall: 1850 929 929 >Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 >Fax. +353 (0) 1 4811 763 >------------------------------- >Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business >Park,Sleaty >Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,Ireland Company No.: 370845 > > >_______________________________________________ >ALAC mailing list >ALAC(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org >http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac_atlarge-lists.icann.org > >At-Large Official Site: http://atlarge.icann.org
