All, Some interesting news and information available that it seems to us [INEGroup] believes the ICANN should have been aware of and availed itself of given the "Break-in" of their l.rootserver.net last week as was reported.. To Wit: 5 July 1999: Federal CIOs Revamp Approach to Security The CIO Council will shift its focus from viruses, firewalls, and crackers to security, critical infrastructure, and privacy issues. http://www.fcw.com/pubs/fcw/1999/0705/fcw-newsy2kside-7-5-99.html and as to privacy issues and ICANN's questionable "Policies"... 2 July 1999: ACLU Cites the Commerce Clause in Michigan Case In a challenge to a new Michigan law making it a crime to knowingly transmit harmful material to minors, the ACLU is relying on the commerce clause of the Constitution. Under this clause, states cannot pass laws regulating things that take place entirely outside their borders, and they cannot pass laws, which place undue burden on interstate commerce. The ACLU has used similar arguments successfully in New York and New Mexico. http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/07/cyber/cyberlaw/02law.html ==================== Personal note: It seems to me that with all of the available usable and pertinent information regarding security, that Esther or Mike could have directed Josh Elliot to take a closer look...
