I have received a message from ICANN staff regarding the
lifespan of access to masked hyperlinks. I have copied and

<p class="MsoNormal"><i>hi - i heard back from the security
team - Great question!There is a long answer and a short
answer.In short, the links will always work as long as
Proofpoint is still a company J.The long answer is once
the URL is re-written it will always be re-written. For
example, if you forward an email to another company that
does not own proofpoint but that email you sent has a
proofpoint re-written link, they can still open it. It
will always re-direct to the proofpoint servers and then
to the final destination. If for some reason you leave
proofpoint, those links will still work just so long as
Proofpoint is still a company.Hope this answers your
question!</i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I really dislike this masking of
hyperlinks when we receive an email from ICANN staff
now. When I read email archives, I can't see the real
URL to ascertain at a glance what I am really clicking
on, and must trust it will take me to the ICANN website.
I rarely click on every hyperlink in an email, as I can
see from the URL whether it is an announcement, a PDF,
taking me to the wiki, or somewhere else. Now I am often
left to click all the links to try to find the relevant
material. This is a but a small inconvenience, and not
my biggest concern. What I worry about is how we archive
these links. In five or ten years time, will
"urldefense.proofpoint.com" plus the string of 200 or so
random characters still redirect to the linked content?
We don't need these third party redirects, it does not
make us any safer, and it feels very much us vs. them.
Is it possible that we can get some meaningful
assurances from ICANN staff that these masked links will
redirect to the correct URLs in perpetuity? Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
