Re: [At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Report to the ICANN Board ofDirectorsfrom WG onGNSOCouncil Restructuring

July 30, 2008

      Dominik and all,

  Well as you know Dominik, you have my phone number by
which to contact me. And my Address is registered in the
federal registry for all to access should they choose to do so.

  I cannot receive Darlenes posts as I and all our members
in order to protect themselves must block gov.nu.ca which is
the DN of her Email address.
See:
http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=gov.nu.ca&token=2700a6...

For instance especially see:
"FAIL:  Open DNS servers ERROR: One or more of your nameservers reports
that it is an open DNS server. This usually means that anyone in the
world can query it for domains it is not authoritative for (it is
possible that the DNS server advertises that it does recursive lookups 
when it does not, but that shouldn't happen).  This can cause an 
excessive load on your DNS server.  Also, it is strongly discouraged 
to have a DNS server be both authoritative for your domain and be 
recursive (even if it is not open), due to the potential for
cache poisoning (with no recursion, there is no cache, and it is
impossible to poison it). Also, the bad guys could use your DNS 
server as part of an attack, by forging their IP address. Problem
record(s) are: Server 216.108.1.1 reports that it will do recursive
lookups. [test] Server 216.108.1.2 reports that it will do recursive
lookups.
[test] See this page for info on closing open DNS servers."

And:

"FAIL Missing (stealth) nameservers FAIL: You have one or more missing
(stealth) nameservers. The following nameserver(s) are listed (at your
nameservers) as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the
parent nameservers (therefore, they may or may not get used, depending
on whether your DNS servers return them in the authority section for
other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these
stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding, you may
have serious problems!  The DNSreport will not query these servers, 
so you need to be very careful that they are working properly."

And further still see:

"FAIL Stealth NS record leakage Your DNS servers leak stealth
information in non-NS requests: 
Stealth nameservers are leaked [ns3.internorth.net.]!

This can cause some serious problems (especially if there is a TTL
discrepancy). If you must have stealth NS records (NS records listed at
the authoritative DNS servers, but not the parent DNS servers), you
should make sure that your DNS server does not leak the stealth NS
records in response to other queries.  ns3.internorth.net.  This is
listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can
occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the
NS records point to your own domain, for example)."

And to top it off, gov.nu.ca DN has no abuse or postmaster Email
addresses a significant violation of IETF standard!  >:(

  And BTW, I have absolutely no interest in being sly in any manner,
as such behavior is dishonorable and deceiving intentionally.
I have always found such behavior very disgusting!  >:(  As such
I am very saddened and sorry to read Darlene's amateurish and
seemingly adolescent display in using false claims and name calling
as a means to enhance her very faulty argument accordingly.

Jeff,
You are right, however, if we got rid of the percentage (as mentioned in
the Alan's explanation) and kept just raw vote numbers the situation
might get better. I do not see any reason why the contracted parties
should have similar power as the non-contracted parties, for other
reasons than keeping ICANN captured, of course.

Dominik and all,
If the below outlined report is correct, than it is clear that
commercial interests have a significant advantage and the majority of
power in the GNSO as Registries and Registrars are essentially
commercial entities/businesses.  Ergo no balance and essentially nothing
has changed in the GNSO other than the "Names" of the specific
representative groups.  Further there is NO Independent Registrant
representative in this proposed structure, and NO user-non-registrant
reoresentative/ALAC.
So I will now predict that there will be no significant change in the
bahavior of Registries or Registrars and the abuses that have been
occuring with increasing frequency will continue with even more
increasing frequency.  I will also predict here and now that with this
proposed structure the IPC will get whatever it wants.

Cheryl,
After having read the last WG output at

f
it seems like the proposed GNSO restructuralization could be as
follows
(Attachment A)
------------------------------
2 houses - contracted and non-contracted
           parties/constituencies, 2 parties
           in each house
House 1 - Contracted party house consists
          of 2 (registry and registrar) constituencies House 2 -
Non-contracted party house consists
          of 2 (commercial and non-commercial)
          parties/constituencies
that is, 4 parties/constituencies in both the houses collectively.
The GNSO Council (given that the lowest proposed number of members are
...
considered)
House 1
  Registries     - 3 members
  Registrars     - 3 members
House 2
  Commercial     - 5 members
  Non-commercial - 5 members
and also
Equal number of votes between registries and registrars.
Equal number of votes between commercial and non-commercial users.
------------------------------
Do I understand the proposal correctly, Cheryl?
If so, there is a question I could not find an answer to.
Q: What is the proposed number of votes for each of the four GNSO
Council parties?
Thanks
Dominik
