When you're standing close to ICANN, the domain business may seem pretty big,
but when you stand farther away, not so much.

Carl Malamud's Public.Resource.Org
has for over 20 years been putting public documents online so they are easier
to find and use. He's been quite successful in getting documents online that were formerly
available only on paper, or only by paid subscription.
One project involves putting US laws online. In a lot of cases, laws
refer to standards maintained by private organizations. For example,
most state building codes require new construction to comply with the
National Electrical Code published by the private National Fire
Protection Association. There are thousands of standards used in laws
around the US, and in many cases the only way to find out what the standard
says, and hence what the law says, is to buy a copy from the publisher, or
at best to go to a library and read a paper copy.
PRO has been scanning and publishing standards on the theory that in the US, laws
are not copyrighted, so if a standard's part of the law, it's not copyrighted either.
Unsurprisingly, the standards publishers disagreed.

Bruce Schneier is a famous cryptography expert and
Orin Kerr a famous cyberlaw professor.
Together they've published a law journal
article on
Encryption Workarounds.
It's intended for lawyers so it's quite accessible to
non-technical readers.

On Friday I was on a surprisingly interesting session at Rightscon 2018 in Toronto about GDPR
and WHOIS. The panel consisted of Eleeza Agoopian from ICANN staff;
Avri Doria who was recently appointed to the ICANN board; Elliot Noss
who runs large registrar Tucows;
Stephanie Perrin who has done a lot
of privacy work for the Canadian government and as an ICANN volunteer,
and me; Milt Mueller, who is now at Georgia Tech, moderated.
There
was a lot of overlap of roles on the panel. For example, I was there
as a security researcher, but I've also resold Tucows' service for
almost 20 years.
