[cooperation-wg] DNS4EU - proposal for a community response - draft

Dear members, dear all

Further to the RIPE NCC’s summary of the DNS4EU Open House discussion and
further to your witnessing of our earlier 'transparent wordsmithing
consultation' with other RIPE - WG Chairs,
I’d like to propose the following high level statement draft for your
consideration.

Julf and myself, as Co-Chairs are in agreement with this draft statement
and Achilleas had excused himself due to his affiliation with the EC.

We’d like to know if there is some support from members for having a RIPE
community response on this proposal?

We would really appreciate your feedback or any comments you’d wish to make
or if you'd like us to work further on this.

Many thanks for your consideration and the feedback,

Desiree

Proposed DNS4EU RIPE community statement comments



   1. RIPE community believes that governance of the DNS resolution chain,
   which is such an important element of everybody's Internet connectivity,
   should involve all stakeholders and can not solely rely on legislation and
   regulatory oversight.


   1.

   RIPE Community hopes that any winning bidder will adhere to what we see
   as a fundamental property of the Internet, with a diverse and competitive
   landscape, anchored on the principles of multistakeholder Internet
   governance.

   2. RIPE Community believes that the responsibility of well-functioning
   Internet access including the DNS resolution is with the access providers.
   We believe it should stay that way.

   3. We understand that to be able to minimise some risks when the end
   user selects a random DNS resolver, a possible and feasible solution is to
   have the access provider run their local DNS resolvers and/or an additional
   DNS resolver as a back-up.

   4.

   We hope that the EU could allocate DNS4EU funds to the local Internet
   community and encourage Internet access providers to run their local DNS
   resolvers. Additionally, the funds can be also used towards the development
   of open source software for better and affordable DNS resolution services.
