Hi all, i wanted to notice that there is a new internet draft in IETF that should make us think on the chinese government respect strategies to internet governance issues. DNS Extension for Autonomous Internet(AIP) https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-diao-aip-dns-00 This proposal by China Telecom, China Mobile & Guangdong Commercial College propose. Even if we know that "root servers" are very well distributed across the world / countries trough a collaborative system, chinese see this as a "central control".

From Introduction on Root DNS: " But its central control method is not suitable to autonomy and scalability and can't keep up with the fast development of Internet. To national internet network, owning its independent root DNS server and realize autonomy in Internet is a problem not only for the cost but also for the technical difficulty. It is almost impossible in current DNS architecture."

From AIP DNS Architecture: "In order to realize the transition from Internet to Autonomous Internet, each partition of current Internet should first realize possible self-government and gradually reduce its dependence on the foreign domain names, such as COM, NET et al."

So basically the chinese play is not of being part of a collaborative internet, but driving strategically the direction to become an independent island in the world. -naif _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list liberationtech@lists.stanford.edu Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
