Jon,
At some point I hope we can schedule the constituency meeting so that it
isn't on the same day as the registry constituency meeting.
There are some technical issues that I'd like to see on the agenda, a
few minutes each should suffice for the face-to-face portion of the
Constituency's ongoing process:
1. whether we have any interest in the latest fix for, or adding new
bells and whistles to, IDN,
2. whether we have any interest in fixing and/or adding new bells
and whistles to EPP,
3. any other technical business
I'll provide the latest mechanism that Mozilla is about to field (in six
to eight weeks) to respond to what they evaluate as a misuse of cookies
and the DNS. At the moment it is something called the "Public Suffix
List" which is compiled into Firefox (and equivalents in other browsers
too) which identifies the second-level namespaces. Mostly this doesn't
affect com/net/org, but there are (and I expect there will be more) gtld
registries which sell second-level names, so while the presenting
problem (cross-site user tracking via undisclosed linked HTTP cookies)
is more a ccTLD phenomena, eventually the browser mechanism (static list
with updates or some choice of discovery mechanism) will be of interest
to vendors of gTLD namespaces.
The proposal of the moment (subject to furious discourse on both the
dnsop and http-wg lists) is at the following URL:
http://publicsuffix.org/list/
No agenda time is necessary for the Mozilla thing, I'll just dump 50
copies of whatever I write up on the pick-up table, and I'll keep it to
one page.
See you in Paris,
Eric
