It might be useful for NANOG to discuss what involvement NANOG and ISPs
ought to have with these schemes.
o Should, for example, NANOG agree that ISPs ought not provide
secondary name service for this sort of activity?
o Should NANOG agree that some sorts of domain name speculation are
good grounds to terminate a customer?
o Should NANOG decide that some other organization ought to
address these issues? (What ever happen to FARNET?)
- ISOC?
- IETF?
- The courts?
- The Internic?
o Should NANOG stick to purely technical issues?
