RE: [gnso-dow123] Security/stability questions

["Marilyn Cade" <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree these questions were those that were put forward by Thomas and
others on the call, however, I want to urge a neutral tone/approach to the
SSAC. We are as a TF, supposed to be examining the issues and we don't want
to come across as inquisitional. Our task is to be above our personal
opinions and examine all view points and data points. We are "inviting" the
SSAC Chair to dialogue with us. These questions, and others could provide
the basis for that dialogue. 

 

Can we approach the SSAC with that ? some questions, we may have others,
welcome your views as chair, understand that the issue of whether there is a
later advisory opinion is open.

Bruce:

 

As we discussed yesterday, here are the questions that I propose we 

suggest that the SESAC chair address if he is available to brief the 

council/task force in Mar Del Plata:

 

1) What role, if any, does Whois play in supporting the Internet's 

security and stability?

 

2) What would be the security and stability impact of restricting 

access to some or all Whois data.

 

3) What are the requirements of a Whois (or Whois-like system) to 

fulfill any security and stability role that the current Whois system 

may support.
