I commented on the BC "stress tests" several weeks ago ... Do you
think the best course of action is to ignore comment and just
paste into the draft?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>Thanks to eric for first draft and the updates below.
Starting with Mathieu’s markup version, I added several of the
scenarios that the BC submitted in its <a href="http://bizconst.org/stresstests" target="_blank">stress tests</a> in
May-2014 (attached markup). </div>

The clarifications are useful to me. Maybe they could be
added in the document ? This would be useful in the
perspective of publishing this beyond our group as part of
an interim report for example.
<br>
<br>
regarding #1 and #2, I would request the support of Eberhard
to ensure our use of vocabulary for these types of IANA
requests is in harmony with the ccNSO's framework of
interpretation WG final report (I read it but am still a bit
unsure...).

<div>Dear Mathieu,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the revision.<br>
<br>
To respond to the comment re: clarification of the
difference(s) between scenarios #1 and #2.<br>
<br>
Scenario #1 addresses the possibility that additions,
modifications or deletions of strings within the IANA
root zone are, for some reason, not accomplished. The
zone is frozen. No TLDs added, no TLDs deleted.<br>
<br>
Scenario #2 addresses the possibility that changes to
delegations are, for some reason, not accomplished.
Delegations from the zone are frozen. No NS records are
updated.<br>
<br>
They could be merged though I personally see freezing
the zone as a different form of failure than refusing to
make requested changes to delegations.<br>
<br>
To respond to the comment re: clarification of the
difference(s) between scenarios #5 and #6.<br>
<br>
Hyperinflation (Weimar Republic, June 1921 to January
1924) or a global financial crisis (2007 - 2008) would
have an effect on the corporation's reserves, which a
domain-industry-specific collapse would not. Both would
reduce recurring revenues, but the latter would not
necessarily compromise the reserve fund, and the former
would. So #5 is survivable, until the reserve is
exhausted, #6 is not.<br>
<br>
Please let me know your thoughts. I'll review the
comments of others today and tomorrow and post a
revision on Saturday. The revision will include a first
"cook book recipes" for designing, conducting and
analyzing each scenario hypothetically.<br>
<br>
The capture and abuse of accountability scenarios are
welcome additions.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Eric<br>

Once again thank you for this very useful first list. I
find it is already quite advanced. I attach a revised
version with several personal comments and proposals,
including a couple of additional scenarios around
capture on the one side, the ability for a minority of
stakeholders to abuse accountability mechanisms to
effectively paralyze Icann.

<br>
Best, <br>
