Re: [ga] U.S. Department of Homeland Security wants master key for root DNS
Good links there Joe. And hello by the way. Been a long time since we chatted. This was very interesting. Do a search there on that first site for DNS and see what you come up with like this http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/press_release_0620.shtm Fact Sheet: Protecting America's Critical Infrastructure - Cyber Security Release Date: 02/15/05 In February 2003, President George W. Bush issued the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. Recognizing the increasing danger posed by cyber threats and the devastating disruption that could result because of the interdependent nature of information systems that support our nation's critical infrastructure, the Strategy provides a strategic framework to prevent cyber attacks against America's critical infrastructures; reduce national vulnerability to cyber attacks; and minimize the damage and recovery time from cyber attacks should they occur. The Strategy outlines five national priorities including: a.. A National Cyberspace Security Response System; b.. A National Cyberspace Security Threat and Vulnerability Reduction Program; c.. A National Cyberspace Security Awareness and Training Program; d.. Securing Government Cyberspace; and e.. National Security and International Cyberspace Security Cooperation. The challenge to protect cyberspace is vast and complex and ultimately requires the efforts of all of us, recognizing that the threats are multi-faceted and global in nature, that the environment changes rapidly, and that information sharing and coordination are crucial to improving our overall national and economic viability. In less than two years since its creation, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has taken significant steps toward meeting the President's priorities and strengthening cyberspace security.

This is a big win for the Inclusive Name Space. One more area to compete with ICANN. The world will not tolerate this. If the U.S. DHS get the keys just watch, as I have warned before, it will result in the further fracturing of the intranetworks as governments world wide setup their own roots. This is a good thing provided there is a centralized body like the TLDA to support the process.
