RE: [gnso-ff-pdp-may08] The Registries question

["Greg Aaron" <gaaron@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I note:

* It is very difficult to tell if a given WHOIS record is accurate or not.
Cyber-criminals often appropriate the details of real, innocent people;
others use proxy services; certain spammers set up companies that are very
respectable-looking on the surface; it is difficult to obtain databases
needed to confirm addresses world-wide; etc.

* Age would be interesting to study.  There are certainly outliers: I am
currently tracking some fast-flux domains that were registered more than 4
years ago.

We should examine additional data on these names.  2 points at least could
be:

- whois (seemingly real or fake)
- age (does the newness of a name have anything to do with it)

Off list, Jose Nazario was kind enough to provide on the order of 10,000
domains, previously or currently meeting his metrics (reasonable ones)
for being relevant to this working group. Mike O'Conner pulled out the
TLD data, which is below. The first field is the number of domains, the
second field is the TLD.
