Hello,
I attended a meeting of the .mu Select Committee this morning. I did
a presentation about .mu (
http://www.elandsys.com/~sm/mu-cctld-problems.pdf ). It was followed
by a discussion about whether there was a problem with .mu. All the
members present agreed that there was a problem. The only
alternative is a re-delegation of the .mu ccTLD. There is work to be
done on the policy, commercial and technical components to ensure
that .mu works correctly.
There was a suggestion that the technical operations for .mu be run
by the existing .mu ccTLD. I preferred not to discuss about that as
I was chairing the meeting. In my opinion there should be an an
acceptable level of risk for organizations that own, operate, or
maintain .mu domain names. The representative from a bank pointed
out that if .mu could be switched off nobody would be able to do
anything about it. He also mentioned that there was a single point
of failure. I don't think that the current level of risk is acceptable.
I mentioned that there was an attempt in 2009 to reach an agreement
with the existing .mu ccTLD. It was a failure. Trying the same
thing and expecting different is a naive approach. I would advise
against that.
There has been very little comments about the messages I sent about
.mu. I suggest that you start asking questions if you have any
interest on .mu. If you do not do that I will point it out when you
mention .mu problems in future.
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
