FC: One more on the White House cybersecurity report

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

As I and my colleague noted in this article:

http://news.com.com/2100-1023-958545.html?tag=fd_lede
   A single chapter of the earlier draft was about 100 pages--the far
   shorter report released Wednesday was 64 pages total including
   graphics--and singled out technologies like the Border Gateway
   Protocol and the Domain Name System as candidates for improvement. It
   even said that it's time for the federal government to become more
   involved in the development of Internet protocols, security and
   standards--a role currently assumed by the Internet Engineering Task
   Force.
   All those specific recommendations are absent from Wednesday's report,
   which includes roughly the same level of detail as the executive
   summary from last month's version. The more specific version may
   reappear when President Bush receives the document for approval after
   a two-month comment period. [...]

The more detailed version is here, finally with pages in sequential order:

Hi:

I read the exec summary and am not very impressed with the contents.  The
full report (at least level-4) is a better read for the technically
minded.  so i fixed the pages - they are now sequencial.

[deleted, see URL above. --DBM]

Please don't distribute the URL to the public.  Your welcomed to take the
copy and place it on your web sites - it's 3.7 megs zipped or 47 megs
unzipped.

The pages are all in order so it's an easier read.  If any of you folks do
index it on the web please provide me with the URL.  I took the time to
compile it because I think it will be very helpful to the ga@dnso of
ICANN.

Cheers
Joe Baptista
