[Public Comments] Call for Volunteers for NCSG Comment on Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Study 1

[Farell FOLLY]

Dear all,

Due to the approaching deadline, Rafik and I worked to propose a draft response <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_27iFmqrAnVJ7Aq1jedo9CmBlb6MbBFq-roaMpb-xGU/edit> to this Public comment and would like to gather your inputs for the draft report  <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ncap-study-1-report-12feb20-en.pdf> published by the contractor (Karen Scarfone, Scarfone Cybersecurity) for Study 1 for the Name Collision Analysis Project. Please note that there are only 2 days (even less) lefts for the PC to be closed. The report is very brief, one page long.

What is needed from you:

Do you think that this study (Study 1 of  3) was broad enough to include all prior works related to the Name Collisions related issues?
According to you,  is the approach used efficient?

For a quick background on the topic:

1) In October 2018 the BTC asked for OCTO’s assessment of the NCAP proposal, which OCTO provided on 27 November 2018. Subsequently, OCTO and SSAC had discussions that provided additional information and further clarification to OCTO on the details of the proposal. OCTO provided its assessment on all three studies that comprise the NCAP proposal. In that assessment, OCTO expressed concerns about the scope of Study 1, that the goals of Studies 2 and 3 might not be achievable, and that the overall project might not ultimately provide the necessary information to the Board to make decisions on whether or not a TLD is a “collision string” and can be safely delegated. OCTO also noted the high cost and long duration of the overall project. (Source <file:///Users/ekue/Downloads/NCAP%20Proposal%20for%20Board%20(revised%20by%20OCTO%20based%20on%20V2.5BTClean)%20REDACTED%20(1).pdf>)

2) Study 1 (subjected to this call for Public Comment) is focused on performing a survey of all the research that has been undertaken in the area of name collision since 2014 and evaluating if this work could meet, or assist in meeting, the objectives set out in the Board resolutions. The study includes a decision on if the project should proceed based on the results of the survey and the availability of data necessary to perform Studies 2 and 3. Study 1 also calls for creating a data repository and associated policies and processes to store data necessary for use in subsequent studies.

3) In July 2019, ICANN publishes a call for applications to select a contractor to conduct Study 1. Details can be found here <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2019-07-09-en>.
4)  The RFC for proposal that outline the requirements that the contractor  in 3) should meet is available here <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rfp-ncap-study-1-09jul19-en.pdf>. 

5) Our draft response is available through this link <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_27iFmqrAnVJ7Aq1jedo9CmBlb6MbBFq-roaMpb-xGU/edit>.


That is all….by now ;)
