Indeed, and if one believes the that the number of domain names used for spam and phishing and monetization is as large as some people imply, imagine the liability to ICANN of we could eliminate all of that (as clearly some people wish).

"Chicken and Egg" Problem
by Garth Bruen at Knujon.com April 2, 2012

April 2, 2012

(Apologies for list cross-posts) Folks, Recent discussions with ICANN compliance have revealed what appears to be a new standard (or perhaps it was always the standard) for triggering Registrar contract obligations. According to compliance, certain contract obligations (like posting of policies, terms, pricing and WHOIS) cannot be enforced until the Registrar actually sponsors domain names. This came up because several new Registrars did not appear to have these basic components on their websites (some had no website at all). Compliance stated the obligations could not be enforced because the Registrars in question had no domains yet. In my view this presents a number of problems. The first is that Registrars should demonstrate their ability and willingness to provide required services before sponsoring domain names. The second is that it would seem a Registrar could be non-transparent to their first customer, hence "chicken-and-egg." Signing of the contract should the trigger these requirements not the presence of domain names. One additional problem is a little more complex. A Registrar called Nameescape.com LLC has no operational website, this has been the case for several years and possibly since they were accredited. This Registrar is a Moniker shell company, who already has 109 superfluous accreditations. At one point the cartels would at least attempt to appear independent, now it seems there is no long even a pretense and accreditations can simply become "placeholders." This isn't a simple problem since these additional accreditations allow Moniker to add $436,000 to ICANN's coffers each year, and now it appears they don't have to pretend to actually want to sell domain names. It's something to think about as we continue to discuss COI.

Re: [lac-discuss-en] UK Internet group: Surveillance program in works
by Carlton Samuels April 2, 2012

April 2, 2012

No surprise here. In fact I think this is just publicizing what is already at work, they never stopped. As noted in the article, that surveillance capability has long existed and governments, not just the ones they tell you to distrust, are inclined to want to know everything. Aspects of these programs have long come to light; the 'Condor program' comes to mind. Here's something else you might wish to consider. Think Google and the way it makes money. It isn't outside rational thought to suppose that some governments had access to similar technologies long before Google popularized and commercialized it! I began my ICT career on the telecommunications side years ago, designing data circuits. I have long assumed that everything one puts out on the wire or over the air is available to someone else who is motivated to know. - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Sun, Apr 1, 2012 at 1:48 PM, Juan Manuel <jumaropi(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > One of your friends has shared an article with you through the free Appy > Geek app: > > UK Internet group: Surveillance programe in works > http://goo.gl/Nh4yP > > > http://www.appy-geek.com > > > Sent from my iPhone > > > _______________________________________________ > lac-discuss-en mailing list > lac-discuss-en(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/lac-discuss-en >
