Some of us are rightfully worried about the possibility of collateral damage associated with widescale blocking activities. The GAC prudently called for studies on the topic and the SSAC has already agreed to form a working group to develop a more thorough report on the implications of blocking.
The prudent course of action would have been for the ALAC to reserve judgment until such time as the SSAC arrives at its conclusions on blocking; instead, as I see it, the ALAC appears poised to issue an opinion without the benefit of either a wide-ranging discussion or a set of researched facts at its disposal.
I may be barking up the wrong tree but, in the .xxx discussion prior to the board vote, tld blocking was addressed directly by Suzanne Woolf who said that it was not a threat to the stability of the DNS system. j -- --------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------- -
