Constituency Input Template

The GNSO Council has formed a Working Group of interested stakeholders and Constituency representatives, to collaborate broadly with knowledgeable individuals and organizations, in order to develop potential policy options to curtail the criminal use of fast flux hosting.

An early part of the working group's effort will incorporate ideas and suggestions gathered from Constituencies. View this as a brainstorming effort, rather than a formal policy-comment process (a formal Constituency Statement process is scheduled to start about a month from now). Our goal at this stage is to allow very broad participation in our drafting effort. So there is no requirement that your Constituency provide any suggestions at this time -- but any ideas are welcome.

Inserting your Constituency's response in this form will make it much easier for the Working Group to summarize the Constituency responses. This information is helpful to the community in understanding the points of view of various stakeholders.

Process:

  • Please identify the members of your constituency who participated in developing the perspective(s) set forth below.
  • Please describe the process by which your constituency arrived at the perspective(s) set forth below.

Questions:

  1. Who benefits from fast flux, and who is harmed?
  2. Who would benefit from cessation of the practice and who would be harmed?
  3. Are registry operators involved, or could they be, in fast flux hosting activities? If so, how?
  4. Are registrars involved in fast flux hosting activities? If so, how?
  5. How are registrants affected by fast flux hosting?
  6. How are Internet users affected by fast flux hosting?
  7. What technical, e.g. changes to the way in which DNS updates operate, and policy, e.g. changes to registry/registrar agreements or rules governing permissible registrant behavior measures could be implemented by registries and registrars to mitigate the negative effects of fast flux?
  8. What would be the impact (positive or negative) of establishing limitations, guidelines, or restrictions on registrants, registrars and/or registries with respect to practices that enable or facilitate fast flux hosting? What would be the impact of these limitations, guidelines, or restrictions to product and service innovation?
  9. What are some of the best practices available with regard to protection from fast flux?
  10. Which areas of fast flux are in scope and out of scope for GNSO policy making.

Note:

  • Consensus is not required at this stage of the process. If ideas differ within the Constituency, please provide all of them. The working group will work to resolve the differences and the Constituency will have an opportunity to comment in the formal Constituency Statement process.
