Thx. Stephane, this is useful and helpful.

BTW, is there any discussion with rgard to the drafts on the number of root servers for the authoritative root? This was a (non-paper?) by Paul Vixie and two Chinese partners. What I have seen is that this was more or less watered down or rejected. Any news here?

Thanks

Wolfgang

Betreff: [governance] Two IETF Internet-Drafts about human rights and censorship
 
Next week is the 91th IETF meeting and, at the security meeting, these
two new Internet-Drafts will be discussed:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-doria-hrpc-proposal

   Work has been done on privacy issues that should be considered when
   creating an Internet protocol [see the excellent RFC 6973, or
   working groups like DPRIVE, for DNS privacy. S.B.].  This draft suggests that similar
   considerations may apply for other human rights such as freedom of
   expression or freedom of association.  A proposal is made for
   initiating IRTF [Internet Research Task Force] work researching the
   possible connections between
   human rights and Internet standards and protocols.  The goal would be
   to create an informational RFC concerning human rights protocol
   considerations.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hall-censorship-tech

   This document describes the technical mechanisms used by censorship
   regimes around the world to block or degrade internet traffic.  It
   aims to make designers, implementers, and users of Internet protocols
   aware of the properties being exploited and mechanisms used to censor
   end-user access to information.  This document makes no suggestions
   on individual protocol considerations, and is purely informational,
   intended to be a reference.
