Description

The At-Large Technical Issues Working Group is for everybody interested in the stability, safety and security of Domain Name System (DNS). Among the issues covered by this group are DNSSEC, DNS Exploitation Techniques such as Fast Flux Hosting and issues concerning the implementation of IPv6.

It has been noted by many in At-Large (as well as others) that the issues which most concern the community of Internet end users are those related to the security and trustability of the Internet.

One of the core components of ICANN’s mission is to ensure the stability and security of the DNS and autonomous number system within its remit. There has been a debate for as long as ICANN has been around about where ICANN’s mission begins and ends with respect to issues such as spam, phishing, pharming and other activities which use the DNS in criminal or fraudulent ways. As some of these activities go far beyond the DNS and autonomous number system and some law enforcement agencies feel that action should be reserved to them, it is challenging to evaluate how ICANN can have a significant impact to reducing such activities while operating within its remits.

The members of this working group are subscribed to the Technical Issue WG Mailing list.
