Fast Flux Working Group meeting - 5 November 2008


 *   In order to take advantage of the face-to-face meeting, it was decided to 
discuss the way forward for the group as well as the report.
 *   Most present supported the proposal to continue the review of the initial 
report, which would then be followed by a public comment period and final 
constituency statements input. Based on the feedback received, the group would 
then decide whether it would be possible to produce a final report, including 
recommendations, or whether a different form of the report would be 
communicated to the GNSO Council.
 *   Most present agreed that the group should take a closer look at the 
proposed recommendations / conclusions after the public comment period and the 
final constituency statements. However, in order to inspire comments and input, 
it was proposed to include a list of ideas, including those currently listed in 
the report, which would be clearly marked as 'individual ideas' and not the 
view of the Working Group.
 *   A number of ideas were raised during the meeting for incorporation in the 
report. These include:

-  Broaden the discussion on Fast Flux by including the ccNSO, possibly by 
inviting a ccNSO liaison to participate in the Working Group and invite 
comments from the ccNSO to the Initial Report. (N.B. it was mentioned that some 
of the solutions mentioned in the report have been implemented by certain 
ccTLDs so they could provide interesting input into the report)
-  Highlight in the report which solutions / recommendations could be tackled 
by policy development, best practices and/or industry solutions
-  Consider whether registration abuse policy provisions could address fast 
flux by empowering registries / registrars to take down a domain name involved 
in fast flux

 *   Members of the Working Group are encouraged to provide other ideas for the 
recommendation section they would like to see included in the report.
 *   Additional work will be undertaken by members of the Working Group to 
provide additional data for inclusion in the report in the form of executive 
summaries and links to the full data.
 *   It was requested that staff provide an update on for which sections 
proposed text has been circulated (N.B. an overview will be posted separately).
 *   The next conference call will take place on Friday 14 November for 2 
hours. An updated version of the report will be circulated prior to that.
