As people have noted in other forums, some people prefer to have a domain name that 180 million
people [mostly Americans] can see...***and will look at***...compared to a domain name that **more people** can see and never look
at...

One of the reasons for a Proof-of-Concept phase is to allow people to establish...Prior Use Rights...

As one example, the 0:242 .SHOP owners can find each other and work together to make sure that their names
are more visible, protected and remain at the leading edge with new technology deployments. That is a boot-strap
process that takes time and the results can not be ignored by the U.S. Government...

Subject: [ga] Premium TLD Survey...SHOP...INC...TRAVEL

One of the advantages of the 32-bit DNS Proof-of-Concept TLD market trials is that people can see what TLDs
are the most popular, desired, etc. before making the investments needed for full 128-bit DNS support. Some people
claim that there is no market data to determine what TLDs people want, and therefore, no new TLDs are needed.
People can "vote" via their registrations on the TLDs they want. The Best-of-Breed can then survive in the free markets.

How can FOUR companies be operating the .INC TLD ?

One of the advantages of the 32-bit DNS Proof-of-Concept TLD market trials is that several companies can work together to help
launch a new TLD. The [SLD].TLD owners (in this case [SLD].INC) can then register in all of the TLD clusters to make sure that their
[SLD].INC nameservers are reached by the widest audience. As the 128-bit DNS services are developed for the .INC TLD (and to support
the [SLD].INC owners), all four companies can work together to help ensure that the .INC TLD is reliable and well-supported with the
substantial infrastructure desired by owners of domain names they value.

Registrars can of course make all of this transparent, by making sure that a [SLD].INC name is properly registered and all of the
nameservers are in synch. Amateur Registrars and Resellers may not be capable of doing that.

Subject: [ga] New Root-Crawler on-line INTERNET

The attached news release from newroot.com should be of interest to the
press and dns people.  My humble little city of peters patch gets an
honorable mention.  cheers to the people of peterborough who have made
this all possible.

Incidentally www.cyberbunker.com will be the new home of my web site
www.baptista.god.  So far i'm testing the servers - very nice.  feel free
to visit the facility located in the netherlands deep in a thermonuclear
bunker.  Best place to keep data these days.

The facility is monitored and your welcomed to take a tour.  Cameras
monitor all areas including the administrators communiy housing onsite.  I
hope someday they invite me for tea ;)

your all welcomed to take a tour

http://www.cyberbunker.com/webcams.htm

And a little birdy told me a root server is will soon be born there
real soon.  My first baby.

also check out the security room on the ground level.

Subject: New Root-Crawler on-line

NewRoot is pleased to announce its support of the TapRoot Committee.
TapRoot is a critical infrastructure project of the Top Level Domain
Association which will maintain and publish Inclusive Name Space zone
maps.  The project is designed to co-ordinate the expansion of the domain
name system outside the U.S. government root system.

Joe Baptista one of the Internets first cartographers and the projects
director is excited with the projects potential to also address Internet
security issues.  "These resources provide significant benefits to the
Internet community", said Baptista "not only will we be the first to map
the Internet naming system but we'll also be in a position to fix various
security issues related to the DNS".  Baptista's past research was
instrumental in fixing numerous vulnerabilities in the U.S. military
domain name system.

The projects first goal will be to scan over 700,000 Internet domain name
servers for non U.S. government root systems.  "Once the root systems are
identified we will then proceed to scan those roots for top level domain
zones" said Baptista.

Seed data for the project has been provided by U.S. Department of
Commerce and Planet Communications and Computing Facility (PCCF) a not
for profit Internet research facility.  Volunteer software developers in
Peterborough Canada will telecommute to TapRoot facilities sponsored by
NewRoot at the secure facility 'CyberBunker' in the Netherlands.

Subject: [ga] WHOIS, Accuracy & Censorship

The article "Hollywood's Chill Wind of Censorship" by Lisa S. is an 
interesting read.
http://frontpagemag.com/articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7723

SYNOPSIS:

The author of the article put up a website criticizing those Hollywood stars 
that chose to oppose the U.S. president's initiative in Iraq.  Because her 
contact details were publicly available through the WHOIS the author 
invariably came to receive a number of threats.  To deal with the problem, 
the author intentionally "masked" her domain's contact information so that 
unstable individuals would no longer have access to her home address and 
telephone number.  

However, because her contact details were now no longer "accurate", the 
William Morris Agency that represented many of these Hollywood stars -- and 
that apparently wished to have her critical website shut down -- finally had 
the means to take action against the author's freedom of speech.  They 
contacted her registrar Dotster, and Dotster (citing ICANN's language on 
accuracy of contact details) suspended her domain registration... 

... but to make matters worse (according to the author), "the person I spoke 
with at Dotster refused to allow me the ability to correct the information 
and maintain ownership of the domain".

COMMENT:

It is a sad day when language in ICANN contracts is used in an effort to 
censor the public voice.  Is this what the insistence on WHOIS accuracy is 
leading to?
