Subject: Re: ISOC Statement on Domain Name Fees

Rick:

I think this introduction of charging by the Intenic for domain
registrations is sufficient cause to take steps to set up a small
number of alternate top level domains managed by other registration
centers.

I'd like to see some competition between registration services to
encourage good service at low prices.

I do think we need to proceed with some care, to understand what are
the requirements and responsibilities of these service centers, what
informatrion they have to provide to the community, what oversight they
are subject to and by whom, etc.

I'd be happy if you could help me come up with a plan for this.

 The fact that the USG dumped CORE is the worst kept secret
 since the "Where's Eugene" game!



From: Einar Stefferud [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyone who believes they already have all the answers to the
DNS problem is probably not well informed about the realities
of life on this planet.



From guy-in-charge@big-computer-company-name-withheld-by-request:

bigcompany doesn't see that IAHC has anything to do with Internet. They
see it as being about corporate relationships and alliances. In other
words, what matters is not what IAHC does or says, but rather what
other companies see bigcompany as doing.

Excerpts from mail: 14-Oct-97 Re: DNS Panic attacks "Richard J.
Sexton"@ns1. (5232*)

 I guess Jon feels he's protecting us (the net) from the forces
 of darkness, which makes me ask, "great, but who protects
 us from Jon Postel?" I mean if Postel went postal, as in
 right round the bend crackers, what happens then? Does
 anybody else have visions of Vixie walking around with his
 underwear on the outside because IANA said so ? :-)

I'd somehow managed not to have those particular visions, but now I'm
sure they'll haunt me until my dying day.  An ugly sight.  Thanks a lot.

.shop ?  .firm?  just who thought up the seven new domains?



From: "John F. Woods" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought the seven new domains were .happy, .sleepy, .grumpy, ...



From: Dave Crocker

Poof. It was the scumbags on the IAHC, not CORE, who chose the names.

I hope a critical mass of willingness will emerge in short order.

Crocker? He's backpeddling so fast he's gonna pass himself
in 1997.

[IFWP] CNRP

2000-09-10 Thread !Dr. Joe Baptista


I have a feeling this wont ever fly - but 

USER-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO URLS DUE SOON
Technology that permits users to access Internet sites, locate
information, and send emails using simple and easily remembered
names instead of URLs is coming close to completion and is
entering the market.  Engineers at Network Solutions, RealNames,
Netword, and ATT have developed the Common Names Resolution
Protocol (CNRP).  A beta version of NSI's CNRP software is being
released for Web users, and later this fall RealNames and Netword
will offer commercial CNRP versions.  CNRP will likely be useful
in the wireless environment due to its use of short and simple
phrases and names, and network managers at corporations could
utilize CNRP services to access employee and customer information
or to share corporate documents.  This month a final version of
the CNRP protocol specification will be published and this fall
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) will probably approve
CNRP as a standards-track protocol.  Internationalized domain
names are the final technical obstacle CNRP faces, says Leslie
Daigle, chair of the IETF working group on CNRP.  The current
CNRP pilot project will run for approximately six months.
