Re: [gnso-ff-pdp-may08] My resignation - but what to do next?

[Marc Perkel <marc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it's worth - I'm a solutions guy and not a process guy. Process 
is something I don't understand. I would like to see whoever takes over 
be someone who is more interested in solving the problem that defining 
it. I think that there are suggestion on the table that if we refined 
them that I think we could have consensus on some steps that would be 
significant in resolving the fast flux (in relation to fraud and 
phishing) problem.
I think the flaw in Mike's approach that led to no progress was 
insisting on a linear process. That we have to do the steps in order.
A->B->C->D->E->F

My thinking is that if we solve XYZ then we might not have to look at 
the rest of it.
Ultimately - in my (limited) view. Even though this is the FF group it's 
really about stopping fraud and phishing of which FF is a part. I think 
that we can all agree (?) that if we did just this that those who we 
report to would be happy with that partial result. So why not do that 
and see if our overlords smile upon us?
I'd like to start a thread discussing this to see where it goes knowing 
that it might not go anywhere, but to at least explore it. let me start 
out with a few questions.
1) Do we have consensus fraud and phishing are universally bad?
2) Is there any reason why (Wendy and Civil Libertarians respond) the 
following data should NOT be made available through high speed (DNS 
based) lookups;
  a) The AGE of the domain
  b) The Domains Registrar
  c) Nameserver Change Rate Information

3) Or - is there a reason I should not be pursuing this at all because 
I'm wasting my time.
The way I see it - my visionary view - is that fraud based fast flux is 
usually driven by frad based spam pointing to the fast flux networks and 
that those of us in the spam filtering world can accurately detect this, 
especially with the information I'm requesting, block the spam, and 
report it to those who can determine if they should disable the domain. 
My view is that this would take a big bite out of the problem. And that 
this sort of thing is won one bite at a time.
Thoughts?
