Convergência Digital - 31/10/2007 *ICANN: WHOIS Back to Rathole #0 <http://governanca.cgi.br/noticias/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. Circle ID - 31/10/2007 *¿Quién hay detrás de una página web? <http://governanca.cgi.br/noticias/bfquien-hay-detras-de-una-pagina-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. El País - 31/10/2007 *Whois studies approved, privacy deferred <http://governanca.cgi.br/noticias/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. Miami Herald - 01/11/2007 *.uk Registry: DNSSEC Needs "Enhanced Cooperation" <http://governanca.cgi.br/noticias/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."
