[CRISP-TEAM] Fwd: Re: Draft response/position: IANA IPR issues

[Andrei Robachevsky]

Alan,

I think I don't fully understand what problem we are trying to solve
here. Do you refer to non-public data related to reverse delegations in
these domains (e.g. delegation requests, etc.), since DNS data is public
by nature (to be honest - I have no idea what IPR considerations may
apply here)?

If we are talking about non-public data, there might be an issue indeed
that we may want to address in the response. This is because the US
Government has unlimited rights in all data, not just public one.

So we may add:

"It is also the expectation of the RIR communities that non-public
information related to the number resource registries [and corresponding
services, including the provision of reverse DNS delegation in
IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA] is managed by the appropriate organisations."

Would this address the issue you brought up?

Andrei
