what i'm specifically hoping for is total transparency. i consider whois privacy to be a blight on internet cohesiveness -- noone who holds a unique internet identifier should be able to hide behind their lawyer's contact details or their registar's contact details -- the internet social contract that i remember agreeing to is, if you want me to respect your allocations, then you will use them responsibly. but it's not just registrants i worry about. we've seen a handful of borderline-to-really bad registrars over the years, who are able to pollute the "internet commons" with malevolent and criminal waste for years at a time until icann or the courts finally have enough evidence to put them out of business. if every domain's registrar were reliably determinable at scale, then after blackholing the 10,000th or so domain from a single registrar, many of us might decide that our best interests lay in blackholing all future domains from that registrar. "first they came for the XYZ, and i said nothing because i wasn't XYZ, etc" is the wrong way to think about this. "your business model requires externalizing your costs onto the larger economy/environment, thus i refuse to do business with you" is much closer to where we're all living and working at this moment. vixie _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
