[AfrICANN-discuss] [AFRI-Discuss] Call for topics: Joint AFRALO-AfrICANN meeting for ICANN67

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Gabdibé,

drafting a resolution (beforehand), or even debating a resolution, is 
going to achieve absolutely nothing.

Mark,

50% lookups is actually almost worth than zero :-)-). 

	And how many of those hit infrastructure actually in South Africa?
	Does the figure include the public ones from Google and Cloudflare?

	My view is that this only works All-or-Nothing, because noncompliant
	commercial resolver operators have a commercial advantage over
	complaint ones.

Financial incentives may work as may financial or other sanctions.

	One could even make it part of the Accreditation that DNSSEC must be
	offered by the Registrars.

	But while the Registrars are usually the entities operating the DNS
	and as such have control over the end-user's DNS anyway, the chain
	of trust should go up to the end user and not just the Registrar.

	Talking to the banks has so far not been very effective, they are
	happy with HTTPS even though they forget to renew their certificate
	on a regular basis, never mind the expense.

I don't have the answer either.

If anyone has a technical "solution" or project going on, and is coming 
to Cancun, please feel free to propose a presentation at TechDay on the 
Monday.

greetings, el
