Survey on a "Technology Backdrop": please participate

[Apologies for multiple copies due to mailing-lists overlapping]

Dear all,

Our R&D team at AFNIC (The French ccTLD Registry), with the help of
its Scientific Council, is carrying out a survey on a "Technology
backdrop" for AFNIC in a medium-to-long term (10-15 years). The main
objective is to get a common view of the future (trends,
uncertainties) when assessing R&D opportunities in the future.

We believe that the outcome of this survey may be of interest to
people answering it, as most questions sit indeed in a a quite wide
technology perimeter/scope.


Here's a short description of the context & goals of the survey:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This survey aims at helping AFNIC to develop a technology backdrop
(i.e., a shared vision of technology evolution) in a medium-to-long
term.

Three axes have been chosen:
"A. Global Internet Architecture",
"B. Internet Naming, Identifiers and Digital Identities" and
"C. User trends". :
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The survey is open from the 1st October to 31st of December 2008.

Looking forward to your contribution and thank you in advance for
your time!

Mohsen.
