ICANN: WHOIS Back to Rathole #0
ICANN’s GNSO council had WHOIS on its agenda for today. The options on the table: (1) Accepting the outcome of years of policy development processes; (2) rejecting that outcome (again?), but calling for some kind of fact-gathering to feed into future policy work, in order to keep the space occupied; (3) acknowledging that there is broad dissent in the Internet community, and calling for a sunset on the WHOIS clauses in current agreements, as these clauses are not backed by community consensus any more.

¿Quién hay detrás de una página web?
¿Quién hay detrás de una web? Una de las preguntas que más se han repetido en la historia de Internet parecía tener fácil solución gracias a Whois, una auténtica base de datos que permite saber la autoria de los contenidos publicados en la Red. Es decir, cualquier persona que quiera hacerse con un dominio está obligada a facilitar una serie de datos personales que después se hacen públicos en Whois.

Whois studies approved, privacy deferred
A panel on Internet names voted Wednesday to defer long-simmering questions on whether names, phone numbers and other private information on domain name owners should remain public in open, searchable databases called Whois.

.uk Registry: DNSSEC Needs "Enhanced Cooperation"
As ICANN opened its 30th meeting in Los Angeles on Monday, the .uk registry Nominet released a short position paper on DNSSEC -- and focused on the issue of signing the root zone. Intentionally or not, Nominet's paper validates IGP's long-held contention that there are major public policy issues around DNSSEC. In it they highlight the need for a single trust anchor and warn against alternative solutions. They emphasize the need for the keys to be managed by ICANN/IANA and used by the root zone maintainer to sign the root, and, most importantly, the necessity of opening up root management through "enhanced cooperation."
