[dns-wg] Fwd: [cooperation-wg] Update on NIS 2: Proposed amendments by the Parliament alter scope on (root) DNS

hi michele,

IANAL and i try not to play one on the net.  but ...

oh, i understand you and marco saying that.  what i do not understand
is how

> "authoritative domain name resolution services as a service
> procurable by third-party entities”.

clearly delineates a set.  my confusion mostly hangs on "procurable" and
who "third parties" are.

if i use 77.88.8.1, which is free, am i procuring services?  there is no
financial transaction, which i colloquially take to be procuring.

if that is procuring yandex's service, then how is that different from
pointing my client resolver at my isp's cache?  in fact, the latter may
be construed as a paid service, i.e. more of a procurement.

i can see that yandex is providing the service and i am consuming it.
where the heck is a third party and are they bringing dessert?

what subset of these [sic] three parties must be in the EU to be covered
by this?
