Re: [Modern] CNIT and Modern Charter

[Eric Burger <[e-mail]>]

This is IDN all over again. On the one hand, we need to be aware that some bad people will try to ρηιςη instead of φισ, because the former looks like phish. On the other hand, last I looked, this is the IETF, and a US-centric or Roman-script-centric solution is not going to be internationally acceptable.

Sincerely,
柏尔立

P.S., while we are expanding the charter to encompass the ocean, can I specify “Eric Burger” for domestic calls and "柏尔立” for calls to China? ;-)

We have seen the difficulty with human readable names in SPAM. Particularly when using UTF-8, how do we stop bad actor getting names that look the same as someone they wish to impersonate? Who will validate the names and issue some sort of trust token that says I can use "Cullen Jennings" or whatever. Who else can use that name and what about names visually similar to it.

>>> 
>>> The MODERN working group will define a set of Internet-based mechanisms for the purposes of managing and resolving telephone numbers (TNs) in an IP environment.  Existing mechanisms for these purposes face obsolescence as the voice communications infrastructure evolves to IP technology and new applications for TNs become possible.  The traditional model of a TN having an association to a single service provider and a single application is breaking down.  Its use as a network locator is going away, but its use as an identifier for an individual or an organization will remain for some time. Devices, applications, and network tools increasingly need to manage TNs, including requesting and acquiring TN delegations from authorities.
>>> 
>>> The working group will define a framework for the roles and functions involved in managing and resolving TNs in an IP environment. This includes a protocol mechanism for acquiring TNs, which will provide an enrollment process for the individuals and entities that use and manage TNs. TNs may either be managed in a hierarchical tree, or in a distributed peer-to-peer architecture.  Privacy of the enrollment data and security of the resource will be primary considerations.
>>> 
>>> Additionally, the working group will deliver a protocol mechanism for resolving TNs which will allow entities such as service providers, devices, and applications to access data related to TNs, possibly including caller name data (CNAM).  Maintaining reliability, real time application performance, security and privacy are primary considerations.  The working group will take into consideration existing IETF work including ENUM, SPEERMINT, STIR, and DRINKS.
>>> 
>>> The work of this group is limited to specifying a solution for TNs and covers any service that can be addressed using a TN.  Expanding the work to other identifiers is out of scope.  Solutions and mechanisms created by the working group will be flexible enough to accommodate different policies, e.g., by different regulatory agencies.
>>> 
>>> The work group will deliver the following:
>>> 
>>> -          An architecture overview document that includes high level requirements and security/privacy considerationsbuilt on the work of IETF & the ATIS/SIP Forum JTF, that included:
>>> o   Call routing architecture
>>> o   Inter-carrier NNI
>>> o   Cryptographically-enabled Anti-spoofing (STIR)
>>> o   Enhanced Calling Name (CNIT/CNAM)
>>> -          A document describing the protocols to support enrollment processes for existing and new TNs including any modifications to metadata related to those TNs
