Kris,

 

Thanks for pointing out the privacy issues that RIRs have that may be like ones we have in the naming community.  As you point out below, the issue of privacy that may confront RIRs “has not been looked at by all RIRs” so they may not be able to help us in our work much at this stage.  To the extent that you see any activity there in the future that may benefit our work in the RDS PDP WG, please let us know.  In the meantime, I don’t think it makes sense to reach out to RIRs at this time.

 

Chuc

Greg,

 

You’ve actually pinned my issue down.

 

As much details or non details we do on the Naming side the same applies to RIRs. I will take an example. As much as we may want to ensure some level of privacy when we get to the bridge. The issue is that it is also as easier to go find the nested information with IP etc., in more details in an RIR whois. The details you can find is more than you can only see in the ICANN registry. So however much we decide to take into consideration the fields and objects we need for validity and the privacy. With a bit of intelligence one would situate all other details more than easily out of a DNS routing and IP address to get the details that can be taken and abused not only from the naming but easily pitched out from any RIR. 

 

What i am trying to say is that accuracy which is protected is better than a fully open database to tie the details together. I usually check on both ends to see accuracy of details at times. Whilst i might be doing in good intentions. The reality is that you can pull even more details from the RIR once you identified what you need from  the ICANN registry. 

 

I am looking at it when i train cybersecurity i do show people how to identify and assure yourself that the information is close to correct. Whilst one may say RIR Whois may not reveal information but the reality it is very open as well as the ICANN one and even more.

 

So GDPR/Privacy is still the issue as the Whois in an RIR can easily pin down what we want to protect here. Works both ways. Am looking at an alignment that protects the privacy end to end and you do naming and the DNS throws you to RIR and you still can get everything you want from the RIR whois. Then what we are doing gets loose ended on the other side.

 

You may not do it, but anyone with idea of abuse or even other will get it easily and openly even more on the RIR whois. I have suggested RIR as well because the database is open and privacy issues from that perspective has not been looked at by all RIRs. 

 

Land Registy is fine but even that is being moved to blockchain in certain countries. I just wanted a pragmatic way of protecting the data and information that ties the details that may be represented once the rds is up and if the other end is not tied as well then the work becomes useless from my perspective. I would want RIRs to go anf work towards same privacy rules we are doing. 

 

I saw RIPE working in that direction because of GDPR but we need to tie the whole lose ends. Thats my take. People may agree or not but i wanted to make my point. Naming is just one slight art of the whole picture. Two bits work together naming ties to the DNS and the IPs but if all information is readily revealed on the other end. Then what we end up with naming and all privacy is very opened on the other end. 

 

When i look at the ewg work i see some logic. There is a need for accuracy to catch abusers as well as ensuring the privacy which some member of the wg want. WHich is more than fair and good. Me i would want  mechanism for public info protection and law. 

 

I am not forcing anyone to go my way but having been and i teach warfare and these are information we certainly use to to do DDOS etc., and getting addresses etc.,

 

The rest is the group’s decision. I will just not retake it. I will go with the majority thinking. But if later then this become an issue we overlooked then i would have raised it.

Maybe it means they have a GDPR/privacy law issue as well.... However, that doesn't really help us directly.

 

It would be interesting to know if they have contemplated it yet.

Sure.  And if I search in the land registry I get my own name and address.  What does that have to do with this WG?

I’m sorry, but I still don’t see what you are driving at.

 

RIRs collect information from LIRs. (My company is an LIR)

 

LIRs in turn add some information to some records under certain circumstances.

 

IP addresses and domains are not the same.

The data that’s collected and how it is collected, managed and published is completely different.

 

As I previously said, if you can provide concrete examples of why this is germane it would be helpful but so far you haven’t.

Actually if you look at the policy documents it does not say that you need to provide such and such. But all rir have actually come down to showing the objects and name address contacts just like the Whois. In fact in RIRs you type name of person or company you can have all the details and allocations etc.,

 

That has been internal I would say just try a Whois in any rir and type in and selects most fields and see what you get. These can also be abused as well as The Whois as a domain name.

I don’t understand your rationale here at all.

 

The data, who it is collected from, how it is managed etc., by RIPE is completely different to how data is handled for domain name registrations.

 

Can you please explain, with specific examples, why you feel this is germane?
