Maybe UCANN school ICANN on whois
Raise your hand if you use whois every day. Even if your hand isn't up, and you just regard whois as an essential sysadmin tool, this post is for you.
Because if you're interested in keeping whois working for the those it was made for in the first place, you need to visit the battlefield where whois' future is being determined right now. That is, you must be Beowulf to the Grendel that is the Intellectual Property Community. Worse, you must confront him in the vast cave that is ICANN.
Except ICANN is more like Grendel's cave, only a helluva lot bigger, and far more boring. It's easy for an outsider to be daunted by ICANN's labyrinthine bureaucracy, its complex processes, its mountain of documents, the galactic scale of its influence, the ecclesiology of its high-level gatherings and its near-countless topics of concern. The relatively small topic what happens to whois would be easy to miss. For example, it's not even listed among the many current topics on ICANN's top-level topics page.
Ah, but it's there, amidst the 25,500 results in a whois topic search at the ICANN site. Among those results is a complicated Public Comments page, where it says, as if recited by Vogons,
ICANN is currently soliciting Public Comments until 30 October, 2007 on the most recent GNSO WHOIS Task Force and Working Group Reports, recommendations, and related Staff Overview of Recent GNSO Whois Activity and Staff Implementation Notes on the WHOIS Working Group Report. An overview and links to all related WHOIS documents currently available for comment can be found at: http://www.icann.org/public_comment/#whois-comments-2007
What matters are the date, which I've highlighted in red, and the link. Also this link, buried somewhere else I can't find again. It's for FINAL TASK FORCE REPORT ON WHOIS SERVICES 12 March 2007.
More scary than those are the comments themselves, which are thick with IP lawyers inveighing on behalf of something called Motion 2. This, along with two other Motions, can be found on page 9 of STAFF OVERVIEW OF RECENT GNSO WHOIS ACTIVITIES., a .pdf linked to by the document in the link of the quoted text above, prefixed by the ominous adjective "final".
Motions 1and 3, best as I can tell, call for minimal action.
Motion 2 calls for a complicated process that is obviously given the uniform enthusiasm of IP lawyer advocacy of it in public comments aimed toward turning whois into a whatis that is quite other than what it was intended for in the first place.
Elliot Noss, CEO of Tucows and an ICANN veteran of long standing, put the situation this way :
Whois started out as a way for geeks to know who to speak to, so they could manage domain name issues. This was way back when there weren't many domains around. More recently it has turned into an enforcement resource for intellectual property crime hunters. Meanwhile, as everybody knows, whois does have privacy problems, in that names and other personal information about contacts can be revealed through it.
So, at the end of the day, what everybody has been trying to do is move toward an operational point of contact, which is all somebody managing domain names needs to know. From the geek point of view, this is a way to move whois back to what it was in the first place, which was a way to manage an Internet resource.
But the intellectual property folks see whois as their enforcement database, and are working toward making that its primary purpose. Those two purposes are at odds, and that's what the debate is all about. Except so far the public comments have come mostly from just one side.
So, if you want to weigh in on this debate, to fight the suited Grendels in ICANN's cave, you have until a day before Halloween to go do that.
How, you ask? Meaning, where do you submit comments? I don't know. I'm looking around and I'm missing it. Meanwhile, I have a bus to catch, and I want to post this as soon as I can. If one of ya'll figures out how, post it in the comments below, and I'll append it here after I get to where I'm going.
Okay, the ansswer is here: email@example.com. Comment away.
[Later...] Wendy Seltzer has posted WHOIS redux: Demand privacy in domain name registration, in response to this post. Joe Andrieu has posted an open comment as well.
I've also learned that CircleID has a huge repository of whois-related intelligence.
By the way, a number of people (including Wendy and Elliot, quoted above) have told me their comments to this post are meeting some kind of obstacle. My apologies. We're working on that. [Later...] Okay, it's fixed now.

Whois comments
Doc thanks for the article. I digged through the info at Icann to post some comments. Sometimes I use whois to see who actually using domain so yes its nice to know something more than an IP or email address. But how much info should be revealed. Thats the big question.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

It is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that owns this building. The Church is largely self-insured, but I have read allegations that the Church does have $1 million or so premium insurance on at least some buildings. Thus there may or may not be insurance.
On the other hand, with the skills needed to rebuild a building like this one it is unclear that the insured value would actually pay to rebuild it.
I, like many others, hope the building is rebuilt. The Final decisions on such and the reasoning behind making the decision will probably be tied to determinations made in the future.

You are right about the walls standing not being a sign that they are stable.
I would hope if they do have to raze the walls, there will be an attempt to re-use some of the original brick. Still it will not be an easy process.

This building fulfills vital community functions. It needs to be re-built.
Ideally in as close a manner as the orinal as possible.
The absolute worst idea is terro nova's of leaving it as a burned out shell. This would make Provo the Detroit of the west. The last thing one wants in a city is burned out, chard remnants of a functional city.
If it is not rebuilt, than it should be razed and turned into something else. As much as I want it rebuilt, I would much rather see it as a NuSkin parking lot than as a charred remnant.

Lil Wayne's Rock Album May Not Be Released Under Universal
Rumor has it, Lil Wayne's forthcoming rock-inspired album "REBIRTH" will not be released under Universal Music Group. The decision is withdrawn by the record label's executives because they fear that the album will fail and knock Wayne from being the top-selling singer.
According to This Is 50, people at the recording company have warned Wayne through his manager Cortez Bryant, saying that "if Wayne doesn't brighten up they have to turn into Mr. Evil Record Company and just tell him it's never going to be released." As of press time, no comment has been shared by the rapper's management team concerning the rumor.
Lil Wayne previously pushed back "REBIRTH" from April 7 to May 19 release. He will enter recording booth with alternative rock band Fall Out Boy and make a collaboration with the Patrick Stump-fronted band in the record.
"Prom Queen", the first single off the record has been released since late January. Using Auto-Tune on the hook, it rose to number 15 on Billboard Hot 100 and charted at number 16 on Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles despite its rock genre.

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Nick Jonas' 'Your Biggest Fan' Music Video Arrives in Full
Nick Jonas straps his guitar and rocks an intimate concert in a music video for "Jonas L.A." soundtrack "Your Biggest Fan". The crowd go wild whenever the youngest member of the Jonas Brothers sings "I'm your biggest fan."
Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas are not featured in this clip because the song only has Nick's vocal on the lead. Instead of having his two brothers, it sees Nicole Anderson, who plays Nick's on-screen love interest Macy Misa, making a cameo among the screaming fans.
Containing 13 tracks, soundtrack album for the previously-titled "J.O.N.A.S!" will be made available for purchase in United States on July 20. It is promised to be "full of sensational summertime anthems to keep your head bobbing all year round."

WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- ePals Corporation (TSX VENTURE: SLN), an education media company and the world's leading Global Education Network, and the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation's Spark!Lab, are happy to announce today the 26 student winners and runners up in the 2012 Invent It! Challenge contest.
Students were challenged to come up with solutions to problems in their schools, to improve on inventions being used in their schools, or to invent solutions for larger real-world problems that exist today.
A Sampling of Winning Inventions
Winners and runners up were chosen from among hundreds of entries across different categories and age groups, all of which are highlighted at www.ePals.com, and include:
- A 13-year-old boy from Chapel Hill, N.C., and his construction of a portable transport vehicle for children and elderly refugees who must flee conflict and famine -- that could save lives the world over;
- A 9-year-old Mississippi girl's prototype of a purse that has a solar-powered light inside, brightening the chances of finding your house keys;
- A 16-year-old girl from Indiana's development of an interactive homework-help 'app' for smartphones and handheld devices;
- A 6-year-old child from Pennsylvania's "turbo skraper" to make snow and ice removal from a car windshield easier than ever;
- A 9-year-old New Jersey girl, affected by her grandfather's Parkinson's, invented a "sand sleeve" that is a wrist guard with sand in it, the weight of which steadies her grandfather's hand so he can sign his name.
This year's entries reflect an awareness of academic, environmental and practical issues, and also show a deep understanding and empathy for those in different circumstances, such as the elderly and people facing war and conflict, say experts in inventions and global innovation. A social media campaign was added to this year's voting process, with ePals Choice nominees given two weeks to reach out and solicit votes for their projects. Thousands of people from around the world weighed in with their choices.
"Inventions are an important driver in advancing economies around the world and in addressing some of the more difficult issues we face as citizens of planet Earth," said John Kao, Chairman of the Institute for Large Scale Innovation and author of the book, Innovation Nation. "It's 'seriously amazing' to see these young people's innovative concepts, and organizations like the Smithsonian Institution, the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, and ePals should be commended for encouraging and recognizing creativity in our youth."
"We're excited about the interest and participation throughout the global education community in this year's Challenge," says Claudine Brown, Smithsonian Assistant Secretary for Education and Access. "We saw a 6-fold increase over last year in the number of submissions. The creativity demonstrated by the students and the quality of their inventions were outstanding. We are committed to bringing the vast resources of the Smithsonian to connect educators and children and to reach across borders through these types of learning opportunities that spark creativity among the next generation of innovators."
Patent Applications among Prizes
Prizes for selected winners in different categories include patent applications, which will be evaluated by the law firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP. Former U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley and Neil Jones, senior partners with the firm, lauded the program:
"We are pleased to participate pro bono in events that encourage young inventors and entrepreneurs," Riley said. "These young people will be treated like our most important corporate clients who entrust us to protect their intellectual property. They will interact with our patent attorneys and will come away with a sense of what it means to be part of our great American innovative landscape." According to Jones, "Our preliminary analysis suggests several may qualify for patent protection. We intend to conduct a patentability analysis and, as appropriate, file patent applications on their behalf."
Other prizes include LEGO sets, scholarships to Invent Now Inc.'s Camp Invention, class participation in a video chat with an inventor from the Lemelson Center, and more. Prizes are provided by sponsors, including LEGO and the Nelson Mullins law firm.

Opinion & Analysis
Every day at 8.30am sharp, management at Solid Energy would gather for morning prayers at the company shrine.
The small room was dominated by a huge gleaming slab of coking coal, etched with phrases from an early foreign exchange hedge contract. The dozens of executives stood facing it, arms by their sides, palms turned towards the slab in unison.
It was always a brief, uplifting affair. The CEO would begin with a chant: "Every day in every way, we expect coal prices to rise."
The executives would respond: "And rise they shall."
CEO: "With wood pellets and lignite we will rule."
Response: "Nothing bad will happen."
CEO: "Our big ideas are worth squillions."
Response: "Yes, probably more."
CEO: "Gentlemen, make it so."
And with that they would shuffle out shiny-cheeked into the morn.
Those days are gone now, self-actualisation having proved unsatisfactory as corporate strategy.
Chalkie wasn't there of course, but reckons something like this might have happened. How else to explain Solid Energy's remarkably optimistic outlook despite contrary experience, market scepticism and the old saw of sod's law?
Last week's announcement of job losses, suspension of underground mining, hefty write-downs and slashing of investment was surely belated acceptance of reality, rather than simply "the impact of the extremely challenging global coal market" - the company's official line.
For example, rewind a couple of years and the chasm between the views of Solid Energy and market analysts was obvious.
In their statement of corporate intent, 2010, Solid Energy directors estimated the company was worth $3.5 billion.
In November 2010, analysts from Forsyth Barr and Macquarie totted up the numbers at $1.6b and $1.7b respectively.
That's quite a big gap.
At least in part it was due to analysts valuing the company's think-big projects at zero, compared with the board's estimate of $1.3b.
A year later Solid Energy had pulled in its horns and valued itself at $2.8b. The view from Forbar last November was unchanged at $1.6b. Macquarie didn't publish another valuation.
Granted, these calculations are always a bit subjective and rely on numerous assumptions, but there's something seriously amiss when the answers are so far apart. Chalkie recalls professional investors reacting to Solid Energy's 2010 projections with mocking scorn, particularly the company's heroic view of future coal prices.
However, CEO Don Elder placed a different emphasis on prices at the press conference last week, recalling the dark days of the global financial crisis.
"When coal prices dropped in the GFC they dropped 60 per cent or so, from US$300 a tonne-plus, to US$126 a tonne," he said. "But the New Zealand dollar dropped from a high of 88c down to about 52c very quickly afterwards.
"Today, while spot prices are still up around US$170 a tonne . . . the New Zealand dollar is still at 81c; as a result our prices in New Zealand dollars today for spot cargoes are 20 per cent below the deepest prices in the GFC and there is a risk that will continue for some time.
"This is much worse than the bottom of the GFC."
Well, yes, in a way it is. But if you take a wider view of prices, it's clear the US$300 level sticks out like Paul Reynolds in a popemobile. (Reynolds, Chalkie should explain, is very tall.)
Even when prices slumped to US$126, they were still double the norm for the previous several decades.
In context, "much worse than the bottom of the GFC" is way better than it used to be. Having said that, underground mining is expensive and risky, so the hits on Spring Creek and Huntly East announced last week should be no surprise, except, maybe, to Solid Energy.
As a joint venture with US company Cargill, Spring Creek's figures are publicly available and they show it has not made a profit since 2008. No wonder Cargill's stake changed hands for a token $1 when Solid Energy bought it out in February - oh, and $40 million of assumed debt.
It probably did not help, financially, that production was cut significantly between November 2010 and last May while major safety work was done. Perhaps the explosion at the Pike River mine on November 19, 2010, reinforced the safety focus.
Overall, Solid Energy says it has spent about $200m upgrading Spring Creek in the past few years, money that looks wasted in light of the suspension of operations at the mine.
As an aside, it is interesting to note Spring Creek Mining Company's comments on coal price risk in its report till June last year. "Export coal prices can fluctuate significantly," it said, "ranging from US$129/tonne to US$300/tonne for export coking coal over the last two years."
But "the company's exposure to commodity price risk at balance date is minimal due to the fact that all export coal held in inventory has been sold at contracted rates".
At Huntly East, Solid Energy said in June 2010 that "current levels of productivity are insufficient to sustain the mine's long-term viability".
Less than a year later it began work building a $40m ventilation shaft to develop and extend the mine, expected to increase the workforce from 160 to 230 people - and presumably boost productivity.
Last week work on the shaft was stopped and further investment cancelled as mine staffing was cut from 234 positions to 171.
Turning to the company's alternative-energy investments, it seems what began with such high hopes will end with some harsh reality. Chalkie reckons the Nature's Flame wood-pellet plant in Taupo was built after a "Field of Dreams" analysis session at an off-site meeting in a Rotorua hot tub. As a plan, "build it and they will come" can work, but it has risks.
Certainly, the anticipated export demand did not happen and the plant needs those sales to be economic. Cue $30m writedown and "idle capacity which looks likely to remain for some time".
The lignite briquette plant at Mataura in Southland is at least on a domestic scale to give the concept a test run, but it seems to have suffered some teething problems.
Production was due to have begun by now but looks still several months away. And amid rumours of budget blowouts, the $25m plant mentioned in 2010 has become a $29m one in current reports.
In the context of Solid Energy's overall business these are not big deals, but it is worrying that the company has struggled with them.
Management has made much of the huge potential of ambitious projects such as coal-seam gas, underground gasification and the conversion of lignite to briquettes and urea - the company has acquired about 3800 hectares of land in Southland for that.
Question marks over the execution of smaller projects don't instil confidence in Solid Energy's ability to deliver on these grand plans.
That is not a good look for a wannabe listed company.
As an antidote to over-optimism, Chalkie reckons every company should have at least one miserable sonofabitch at senior level asking the hard questions.
Chalkie is written by Fairfax Business Bureau deputy editor Tim Hunter.

Zac Efron Quarantined for Swine Flu Scare
Touching down in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday, May 13 to promote his movie "17 Again", Zac Efron had to be quarantined due to the budding swine flu epidemic. He reportedly was forced to wait an extra hour on the plane after landing in the country to get a clear state from paramedics.
During a press conference at Grand Hyatt on Thursday, May 14, he recalled the experience, saying "[A few people from the hospital] had what I guess was a heat sensing camera and they took pictures of us - everyone was different shades of yellow and orange and green, it was pretty funny." He was quick to add, "But I cleared and made it in. I'm okay!"
Speaking of his fans at the airport who greeted him with masks on their faces, Zac jokingly stated, "The [face] masks are awesome. They decorate them very creatively here and I think it kind of works, it's cool. The only downside is that I don't get to see their beautiful smiles!"
Zac Efron's "17 Again" is a movie about a middle-aged man named Mike who is given a second chance in life when he miraculously transformed back to the age of 17 only to figure out at the end what is really important in his life. It was released in U.S. theaters on April 17.
