<TITLE>Substantive issues in CIR: speakers for IGF</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>As suggested in my last post, it makes little sense to discuss speakers without a clear idea of what is to be spoken about.<BR>
Here's a quick taxonomy of cIr issues:<BR>
<BR>
A. Virtual resource economics<BR>
A1. IPv4 address exhaustion: appropriate responses<BR>
A2. IPv6 address allocation policies and their impact on ISP industry, competition, industry development and routing<BR>
A3. Regulations and policies applied to the domain name industry<BR>
A4. Multilingual domains<BR>
<BR>
B. Governance structures<BR>
B1. ICANN as institution, its political oversight and reforms/changes in its structure<BR>
B2. Problem of trust anchor (signing the root) in DNSSEC<BR>
B3. Role of national governments cIr governance; i.e., GAC, the Tunis Agenda "public policy principles"<BR>
<BR>
C. Human Rights and cIr<BR>
C1. DNS Whois and privacy<BR>
C2. Freedom of expression and ICANN's new gTLD policy<BR>
<BR>
D. Security and cIr<BR>
D1. DNSSEC implementation<BR>
D2. Secure routing<BR>
<BR>
Now this list can no doubt be improved and/or expanded but it's a start.<BR>
<BR>
I note that topics A1, B2, B3, C2, and D1 are all addressed in workshops. As Bertrand suggests, a plenary session that chooses to address any of these issues should draw to some extent from workshop speakers. <BR>
