[gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Rasmussen/Piscitello action 4.h

[Dave Piscitello <dave.piscitello@xxxxxxxxx>]

(4.h) Encourage registrars to adopt recognized best practices
designed to curtail the harms caused by illegitimate uses of
fast flux hosting 


Proposed response:

The FF WG concurs with this comment. The FF WG encourages registrars and
registries to adopt recognized best practices to curtail all forms of abuse,
not just Fast Flux.  Best practices are by definition things that everyone
in an industry should look to adopt. As described in the responses to (4.a,
4.f), the devil is in the details. While there are practices designed to
detect what is suspected to be fast flux today, and some of these are very
accurate, additional study is required to

- demonstrate that the algorithm(s) registrars use has a very
  low rate of false positives
- identify an acceptable rate of false positives,
- identify what actions registrars are to take (in considerable detail)
  when evidence of fast flux hosting is presented
- identify a process through which parties who submit evidence of FF hosting
  are deemed to be trustworthy
- identify a process of restoring service and compensating a
  registrant whose domain was suspended based on a false positive
  report of fast flux hosting
