4.2. Draft. Each Pre-Draft document of a Working Group must first be Approved to become a “Draft Specification.” Once the Working Group approves a document as a Draft Specification, the Draft Specification becomes the basis for all going forward work on that specification.

4.3. Working Group Approval. Once a Working Group believes it has achieved the objectives for its specification as described in the Scope, it will Approve that Draft Specification and progress it to “Approved Specification” status.

20 min: ICANN79 report

🎥 8'14": Jacques Latour (CIRA) shared a brief overview of the presentation that he, Darrell O’Donnell (Continuum Loop), Eric Scouten (Adobe), and Mathieu Glaude (Northern Block), delivered at the ICANN79 Community Forum. Our discussion centered around the theme of Digital Trust, exploring its various facets and implications. Details here: ICANN79: DNSSEC and Security Workshop and the recording is here.

Here’s a quick summary of what we covered:

  • The Path to Digital Trust Through Technical and Human Trust: We kicked off our presentation by discussing how both technical mechanisms and human factors contribute to establishing digital trust. (Starts at the 0-minute mark)

  • Content Authenticity: How to Trust Content Origin: Next, we delved into the importance of verifying the origin of digital content as a means to ensure its authenticity. (Begins at the 11-minute mark)

  • How Trust Registries Prevent Fraud, Scams, and Abuse: We also explored the role of trust registries in mitigating risks associated with fraud, scams, and abuse online. (Discussed at the 36-minute mark)

  • Closing Thoughts and Q&A from Forum Attendees: We concluded with a session for closing thoughts and addressed questions from the attendees, fostering an engaging dialogue on digital trust. (Concludes at the 56-minute mark)

We understand that achieving digital trust is a multifaceted effort, not limited to a single solution. It’s our belief that ongoing discussions across diverse communities are essential for exploring the wide range of tools and strategies at our disposal.
