Dear Desiree,
on this, speaking from a personal perspective and not EURALO, which I'll
leave to Sébastien Bachollet, I should add that I agree with the points
the Statement makes, with the added point that the inherent robustness
of the Internet has always been due to its diversity: diverse
technologies with nameservers and resolvers that were running on a
variety of technologies. Putting together a uniform set of DNS
resolvers, all of which run on the same technology, will actually weaken
the European Internet infrastructure rather than enhance it, as it will
reduce that diversity of technologies that mitigates attacks using
specific security flaws and buggy updates.
Kindest regards,
Olivier

Dear members, dear all
Further to the RIPE NCC’s summary of the DNS4EU Open House discussion
and further to your witnessing of our earlier 'transparent
wordsmithing consultation' with other RIPE - WG Chairs,
I’d like to propose the following high level statement draft for your
consideration.
Julf and myself, as Co-Chairs are in agreement with this draft
statement and Achilleas had excused himself due to his affiliation
with the EC.
We’d like to know if there is some support from members for having a
RIPE community response on this proposal?
We would really appreciate your feedback or any comments you’d wish to
make or if you'd like us to work further on this.
Many thanks for your consideration and the feedback,
Desiree

Proposed DNS4EU RIPE community statement comments
1.
RIPE community believes that governance of the DNS resolution
chain, which is such an important element of everybody's Internet
connectivity, should involve all stakeholders and can not solely
rely on legislation and regulatory oversight.
2.
RIPE Community hopes that any winning bidder will adhere to what
we see as a fundamental property of the Internet, with a diverse
and competitive landscape, anchored on the principles of
multistakeholder Internet governance.
3.
RIPE Community believes that the responsibility of
well-functioning Internet access including the DNS resolution is
with the access providers. We believe it should stay that way.
4.
We understand that to be able to minimise some risks when the end
user selects a random DNS resolver, a possible and feasible
solution is to have the access provider run their local DNS
resolvers and/or an additional DNS resolver as a back-up.
5.
We hope that the EU could allocate DNS4EU funds to the local
Internet community and encourage Internet access providers to run
their local DNS resolvers. Additionally, the funds can be also
used towards the development of open source software for better
and affordable DNS resolution services.
