[NCAP-Discuss] FOR REVIEW: DRAFT Case Study of Collision Strings

[Steve Sheng]

Dear NCAP Discussion Group,

  Please find for your review version 1.0 of the draft case study report for the study of name collisions.  The report was drafted by John Kristoff and myself for the working group, based on the data and analysis from Matt Thomas and NCAP discussions of the six case studies (.home, corp, mail, lan, internal, local).

  Here is the executive summary of the report:

  " The NCAP discussion group met over the course of approximately two years to evaluate and consider questions posed by the ICANN Board on the delegation of currently reserved TLDs such as .CORP, .HOME, and .MAIL.  The group undertook a review of past studies and literature, and conducted its own analysis from two root server identities.  The result of that review is a modern picture of the impact and potential harm due to name collisions with the undelegated names under study.  The analysis provides a sufficient basis from which to draw a number of important findings.  Among these include the observation that queries for these undelegated names are both increasing in volume and diversity.  These facts suggest that challenges relating to impact and mitigation are also increasing.  The group also identified a number of critical diagnostic measurements that help determine the scope, impact, and potential harm of name collisions."

  The PDF version of the report is also attached.

  Please review and provide feedback to the report by 10 September 2021.

Best
Steve
