[discuss] Fwd: Possible approaches to solving "problem no. , etc.

Sat Feb 15 02:03:14 UTC 2014

Jefsey,
just a minute! I use to take seriously what you say: I have read your 
mail twice. I went on http://vgnic.org. I cliqued on 
http://iucg.org/wiki/VGNICs. Where is the flaw?

Am I correct in understanding that you say:

1. the internet as we know it is a "catenet" à la Louis Pouzin, i.e. 
""the collection of packet networks which are connected together".

2. It is to be understood as a common collective infrastructure 
allowing every of us (as stakeholders) to manage his/her own VGN
through his/her own NIC, along his/her own VPN governance, the same 
as does the ARPANET/ICANN INTERNIC stake holder?

3. This includes the possibility for each of us to run his/her own 
root server system. I understand that this is the same thing as does ORSN?

4. This means that the DNS metadata of our calls on the internet are 
not logged anymore outside of my control?

5. It means that my domain name resolution is entirely carried on my 
machine without recursion so no danger of fake response?

7. This means that I do not need DNSSEC?

8. This means that one can do, use it to study, many things. What I 
am not sure I fully understand is if how, if everyone has his root 
how can you continue to talk of "class unique authoritative roots"?

I have reviewed the different points made against any root system 
different from the ICANN solution.

- I understand you use the Class mecanism, but what about CNAMES?

- I do not understand what is "ezop"?

- what is the difference between a "free top zone situational report" 
and "paid executive orders".

- I find some logic in your notion of governance of governances for 
the network of networks. However, for me a governance is mainly about 
new TLDs and IP addresses. Two things you cannot control, except for 
your local network?

Then, let suppose this is not a joke (you seem serious about not 
polluting the DNS), how are you going to implement it?

Best
