1) Maintain the status quo. While it may not meet the objective of not alienating anyone, it should maintain current levels of alienation.
2) Develop a thoughtful and practical redesign of the DNS ecosystem taking into account current and expected issues:
+ Separate policies from contracts
+ Reduce information available to public (OPOC?, or TWOPOC)
+ Have a two-level WHOIS system (public, vetted access)
+ Mandate SLAs for Registrars, Registries, Registrants
+ Establish clear takedown policies, and enforce them (criminal activity)
+ Bring Privacy and Proxy services under the umbrella
3) Forget about DNS (sorry KKR)
