[governance] FBI, DEA, IPv6 & ICANN

Wed Jun 27 19:34:35 EDT 2012

Carlos,

not only John Curran is in the same city as you are now. Also the FBI agents mentioned in the article that has caused you such consternation. Did you attend any of the sessions on the interactions between law enforcement and the unique-value coordinated identifiers of the Internet? What can you tell us about them?

I am very sad that you see as "canine defense" what is only probing whether you have used the opportunities to find about things in depth and then help translate and transfer the information and understanding to others.

A diplomat for your country told me many years ago that he used to do something similar to the type of questions you have posed  in this list in the WSIS and IGF process as a matter of policy: "to keep kicking the Americans in the shins", knowing that it is of little effect but keeps everybody busy with you. I hope you are keen to differentiate from  that, right?

I look forward to the enlightenment that will surely be extended to us through the lens of your research in depth and your experience.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

Asunto: Re: [governance] FBI, DEA, IPv6 & ICANN

John, thanks for you kind patience on this. I quote this article from
CNet (which quotes you, incidentally), as example of the issues worrying
the community for its technical and political implications:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57453738-83/fbi-dea-warn-ipv6-could-shield-criminals-from-police/?part=rss&tag=feed&subj

My question or concern presented to the board, to rephrase and simplify
it, is: at which level should this issue be handled by our international
governance structure for names, numbers and protocols? Should be Icann,
since it is the organization recognized worldwide as the governance body
for these? Or should Icann ignore it (as Thomas Marten implied) and let
the problems, once present, be handled on an ad-hoc basis by one of its
associated/supporting entities? Or even just wait and see?

If this is not clear, let me know. And I appreciate your mediation
efforts on this.

fraternal regards

--c.a.

In any case, I continue to believe Icann is the proper space for directing my question, malgré the lack of response - btw, I have copied my concern to Lacnic's policy discussion lists at almost tlhe same time I directed the question to the Icann board.
