On 23 and 24 march 2019 took place the now traditional #hackathon of the #IETF. I worked on a mechanism to report more detailed errors for #DNS requests. https://www.bortzmeyer.org/hackathon-ietf-104.html #IETF104 #IETFhackathon

At #IETF104, about locking domain names for security (remember the Middle-East attacks last year): "I know I'm probably being snobbish or dismissive, but I can't think of a reasonable case where a domain name is important enough to a registrant to server lock, but not important enough to deploy #DNSSEC."

#IETF104: Meeting of the Registration Working Group (where the domain name industry makes money, thank you, #EPP). A lot of stuff to check: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/104/materials/agenda-104-regext-01

Discussion on the #RDAP "reverse search" proposal (find all the domains registered by a given registrant). The author seems not to understand the privacy risks, for instance the huge potential for harassment. #IETF104

Next step for the DIN (Decentralized Internet) research group at #IETF104: write a #RFC about #UUCP https://boingboing.net/2019/03/25/tilde-servers-r-us.html

Now, Public Interest Tech Group at #IETF104. Using technology for good. (Yes, it's not obvious.)

"At the #ITU, people talk of the #IETF by saying, 'you know, the privacy warriors' ." #IETF104

End of the day at #IETF104. What do we do?
