10-21-22: Internet Framentation Panel Discussion
- James Bladel (VP of policy @GoDaddy) stated
"I would propose that we would turn the multi-stakeholder model inside out. Normally I think we're familiar with everyone coming from government/industry/technology/academia..."
🧵2/
"...and bringing our perspective into ICANN to advance the work but I think that has to flow the other direction as well and we have to be comfortable taking our knowledge/expertise & our appreciation for the multi-stakeholder model back to our day jobs..."
🧵3/
"...whether that's in government or industry and recognizing when maybe an attempting piece of legislation - or a new protocol - undermines the interoperability of the internet..."
🧵4/
"...and to flag that in those circles for discussion and understanding and to carry that message back outside of ICANN into those circles."
🧵5/
🎯Summary⚡️ - new protocols (#Handshake $HNS) should be aware that registrars are circling the wagons to increase political lobbying efforts to support laws/rules/regulations that eliminate competition and would create a fracture in the monopoly that registrars have on TLDs.
🧵6/
Question: What is the impact of fragmentation on ICANN's mission?
Ram Mohan - "...there are geopolitical types of concerns as well, now earlier this year we saw how ICANN, the organization, and the board responded to requests to take TLDs off the root, things like that..."
🧵 7/
"...so I think ICANN in that way is setting a good example of how to respond to those kinds of requests that are a little bit more in the geopolitical area."

NOTE: One of the main reasons to be aware of how ICANN controls the root of the internet and outwardly works hand and hand with government in the name of safety is the current veil vs. privacy. Not sure if that's true? #FBI Look at gac.icann.org/file-asset/psw… Image
Internal poll about current state of Internet fragmentation: Image
🧵 8/
ICANN panel discussion included a summary of defining terms in a way that crafts a base layer of regulation that makes one side (ICANN) fall into the "safe" category where as outside protocols (#Handshake $HNS) will be defined as "unsafe". That is the basis of regulation.
🧵 9/

🧵 10/
The unveiling of ICANN's 'unpaid good-actors', in my opinion, they are showing themselves to be pushing for a more tyrannical angle of DNS control, which as Aristotle defined "tyranny" is governmental control that rules only in favor of their own self interest.
🧵 11/

Farzaneh Badii either hasn't done her homework on ICANN's own information about Blockchain DNS or might have missed the email? (mm.icann.org/pipermail/cpwg…)
icann.org/en/system/file…
🧵 12/

Difference between blockchain identifiers (e.g. @unstoppableweb) that DO NOT USE DNS and those that do (#Handshake $HNS #HNS) and how non-DNS "...could cause confusion and when there is confusion there is always opportunity for security problems..."
🧵 13/

The panel opened up the mic on-site for questions. From the english questions (there was a french question I could not understand) - the focus was on freedom from governmental intervention, especially when it came to control of gTLDs. Bravo! Image
⚡️❤️‍🔥
Great question from audience asking for clarification about decentralized DNS vs. centralized DNS from Ram Mohan, who more or less passed it off as creating a parallel definition set in order to create a "centralized" user experience. IMO, I smell 🐂💩 Image

(ALL THE LINKS ARE TIME STAMPED)
Jorge Cancio icannwiki.org/Jorge_Cancio brought up a valid point of protecting against ICANN + governmental interference - proposed an international agreement vs. currently 'good will' system w/no guarantees (i.e. sanctions). Image
📺
Right on cue, with community worrying about too much power, Chris Buckridge steps to the mic and ripe.net/about-us/press… who quickly praised the #WEF for their 2016 report. www3.weforum.org/docs/GITR2016/… - Hard push for 'definitions' to prevent fragmentation. Image

Thomas Barrett - icann.org/en/system/file…
Another push for definitions - Alternative roots have always existed but now that blockchain exists, should they be included and brought in under ICANN's control if they are looking to create a definition... Image
🧵 14/

Panel's final summary comments nearly ALL focused on the geopolitical level as it integrates and operates within and around ICANN and it's technical capabilities. Sounds like there has been a blatant move of gov't into ICANN & some disagree! FIN! Image
🧵 Final/

⚡️ICANN panel finished by kicking off the "Global Digital Compact" a U.N. initiative?!⚡️ un.org/techenvoy/glob… - I don't know much, but I do know that a push by the UN through ICANN doesn't leave me with warm fuzzies of decentralization, huh? Image
Sorry for spelling mistakes and again - if the YouTube video is pulled down, the backup will be available elsewhere with the same timestamps.

#UD + #ICANN = Blacklists and Safety Scores for #Web3 #DePIN
@findporpoise presents @unstoppableweb to @ICANN
Brad Kam's presentation.
Summary - #UD wants to help protect brands and enforce blacklists through a partnership with ICANN and their created "Web3 Domain Alliance" (#W3DA)
When you know @unstoppableweb's history of attempting to Trademark TLDs (*hint, you can't), and suing competitors (*hint, they've lost), you can see right through this presentation and point out conflicts of interest and outright lies being presented as facts to @ICANN
Question 1 to Brad: UD doesn't have expiration so how does it work with locked names from deceased users or those who lose access. Also what happens when names are registered that are fraudulent and should be revoked?
Brad has a 'bob and weave' approach in his answers. Answering on the way to deal with fraudulent names registered, it can be ignored by #UD and they ask their partners to take responsibility to deny functionality of the fraudulent/bad name.
On the answer of recovery, he introduces a few "schemes" (his word not mine) with social recovery with businesses doing it for your or individuals. He says the argument that subscriptions are needed to solve the problem "I don't buy it"... But I guess UD's "parking" isn't the same thing?!? Some word salad at the end about owning vs. renting for revenue and they wanted something people could "own" (but rent the parking, I guess?)

🧵 1/
Seems that training for all AI systems needs to start at a set starting point of a specific topic in order to allow that topic to act as a tuner that can add to the overall collective system intelligence of some topic that is in the same realm or parallel to another topic
🧵 2/
Example: Person w/a plumbing issue, people would start at a LLM chat interface specific for plumbing, and it would be trained and have input coming from that specific topic. It also seems like there could also be some type of expert 'contributor' input vs 'asker' output.
🧵 3/
The contributor would be an expert plumber who could be tested by the LLM chat interface and upon passing a specific level of competency (would need a verification process the contributor was not just copy/pasting from Google or using the LLM to copy/paste answers)

My ICANN/FBI/Political 2023 prediction:
TLDR:☠️⚡️❤️‍🔥🌞
ICANN will designate #ENS and #UnstoppableDomains as potential dangers to the domain name space. They are a centralized target (ENS + UD = 10 TLDs) vs. #Handshake with over 8,600,658 TLDs.
🔗❤️‍🔥TheShake.xyz👈🎯
🧵2/
This will be highlighted by a handful of examples where users clicked on a link they saw as a domain name (it has the dot, and was linked, so I clicked it) and were opened up to some type of malware that installed IP redirects for the most common websites (google/amazon).
🧵3/
This will happen during a crash of the economy when ICANN can save the day by doing anything to curtail theft online. This will have the side benefit of normalizing people to seeing ICANN as a "safety net" of sorts for the internet. But then...
