This has been going around for at least two years, makes for some great scary, click-bait headlines ("they propose an internet kill switch! For China!", and so forth.) Besides the obvious question, "by what authority will they move this forward?" many of us looked at the proposals and they're, in a word, idiocy. https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/studygroups/2017-2020/13/Documents/Internet_203... (it's only 25 pages and you probably can skip to section 6, maybe look at section 5, the rest is mostly "what a network is" padding.) I don't mean I don't like it or just want to criticize it, I mean rambling, sophomoric idiocy. But you have to give some credit to their coming up with: "Holographic Avatar Centric Communications" as a core idea. I'd say, like we said with ISO/OSI, etc etc etc: Implement a test bed and we'll have a look! On August 11, 2022 at 13:59 news@nanog.org (Nanog News) wrote:
