This documents possible to understand as a declarations, but under
these documents there are signatures of Presidents and Prime
Ministers. Also<br>
it is possible to find out there right words about involvement of
all stakeholders, IGF dialog and many other good wishes. <br>
But there is a clear position - each ccTLD is something local,
which is under control of the government. <br>
Of course, necessary to read WSIS documents very carefully, better
to have a professional opinion of lawyer.<br>
In this situation one of the solutions for Internet community is
to be more active in cooperation with local government and bring <br>
Internet community point of view to the governments. Of course, it
is very hard procedure, can say, impossible to implement <br>
in some countries. <br>
Other possible solution for Internet community is to promote
registrations in gTLD as more or less independent and safe
place.<br>

<pre wrap="">We have noted that a number of governments are considering and/or implementing public policies to try to address illegal online sites (also known sometimes as “rogue websites” or "sites dedicated to infringing activities") that would require ISPs to block DNS resolution to sites containing illegal content. While we recognize the need for development of public policy by governments (in consultation with all stakeholders), we believe that policies of this sort would have negative implications for the global DNS and for the implementation of DNSSEC, among other issues.
To help ISOC and its members think about and respond to these issues we are developing principles that have global applicability and also provide a baseline to respond to national policy developments. We are specifically seeking to address the proposals to require ISPs to block DNS resolution of "illegal" sites. Please note that this is a different discussion/context than the issues associated with Wikileaks and so we'd like to keep those threads separate here.
We are thinking of principles along the following lines:
- The Internet is a global network of networks that provides for the neutral passage of packets - requirements to adjust or prevent DNS responses would impair this neutrality.
- For the Internet to be truly global it must be consistent - in general, what an Internet user "sees" when accessing a particular domain name from one location should be the same as what is seen when accessing the same domain name from another location
- Policies should be narrowly tailored and consistent with open standards and accepted operational practices: technical “fixes” to short-circuit due process or violate fundamental and accepted procedures may harm the global Internet.
- The Internet is global. International cooperation (rather than country-by-country solutions) at the technical and policy levels is essential.
I would appreciate your comments on the above points. We would also welcome information on whether and how DNS blocking policies are being considered or implemented in your country. Please send your feedback by Friday, 28 January 2011.
Many thanks!
