<p>Completely agree.<br>
</p>
<p>I hate to think how much a time and effort has been put into this
step 1. It is not even clear what the purpose/goal of this effort
as whole is - except it seems the end game is a tool to: "...
develop metrics to measure the health of the Internet's unique
identifier system that <abbr title="Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> helps coordinate. As
soon as those metrics will be defined, <abbr title="Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" class="">ICANN</abbr>
will measure and track them over a substantive period of time to
see the evolution of the “State of the Identifier Technology”. <br>
</p>
<p>SAC077 in the last para says the following: "We encourage ICANN
to take a step back from what existing data is available and <b>consider
how</b><b> best to inform the larger community, especially
consumers, with respect to the security and</b><b> stability of
the DNS marketplace</b>." My highlights. The "creative" naming
of DNS diseases is hardly going to inform, rather, unfortunately,
it will just confuse the "larger community".</p>
<p>Seems another step back is required.<br>

<div>This is a dangerous document. Yes, it is infantile,
insulting to the community and framed in an incredibly
condescending manner. That's not the big problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>These so called "disease"s are a mixture of technical
measures that call for technical solutions and policy problems
that implicitly call for compliance action. That is a big
problem. I'm tempted to say the solution these policy oriented
"diseases" lead us to are worse than the "disease" itself, but
that would be playing into the rather ridiculous formulation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have 39 days to respond and other matters which
currently require our attention. I would suggest that this
should be a major point of emphasis for the NCSG, NCUC and
NPOC at the start of the New Year. We need multiple comments
attacking the premise and content from different angels. It is
important we don't neglect this and do formulate appropriate
and effective responses. Any "disease" that has as it's
solution increased compliance and regulation is a potential
threat to our core values of privacy and free expression. It
is analogous to societies that lock up dissidents because they
cause "disharmony", which is considered a societal ill.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
ICANN is soliciting feedback from the community on "the
description of five diseases that could affect the health of
the name part of the system of unique Internet identifiers."
These five diseases
include: Datamalgia, Abusitis, Magnitudalgia, Perfluoism,
and Datafallaxopathy. You will have to <a

rel="nofollow"
title="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ithi-dns-health-free-frrom-diseases-29nov16-en.pdf">download
this document</a> for definitions of these terms, all of
which, in my view, have been invented unnecessarily.<br>
<br>
I would like to propose that we submit a response to this
consultation requesting that ICANN use simpler, more
accessible language in its documents moving forward, and <i>make
it clear what the consultation is actually consulting us
on</i>, because I'm not actually sure as to what feedback
they're looking to receive. For this document in particular,
it would be helpful if there was a list of questions to
guide us to those areas where community input is being
sought. And, for good measure, maybe then they could re-open
this consultation...<br>
<br>
The consultation is here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
