Stéphane Bortzmeyer (Ingénieur R&D à l'Afnic) présente son tutoriel "Tout réseau a besoin d'identificateurs. Lesquels choisir ?" lors de la Journée du Conseil scientifique de l'Afnic 2013 (JCSA2013), le 9 juillet 2013 dans les locaux de Télécom ParisTech.
Au sujet de ce tutoriel, Stéphane Bortzmeyer indique :
Dans tout réseau, il faut identifier les objets (machines, humains, programmes en cours
d'exécution, fichiers, etc.). Cela a toujours mené à des très longs débats. Par exemple, dans les cours universitaires classiques, mais aussi dans des normes techniques comme le RFC 791, on trouve de savantes définitions des noms, des adresses, des routes, définitions que je trouve imparfaites et qui, surtout, ne collent pas du tout avec la réalité de l'Internet. On entend aussi souvent des erreurs comme de prétendre qu'un URL indique où se trouve une ressource (rien n'est plus faux). Il vaut donc mieux adopter une autre perspective, celle des propriétés.
Plutôt que d'essayer de définir la différence entre un nom et une adresse, ou de reprendre le débat philosophique entre URL et URN, attachons-nous à déterminer les propriétés des différents types d'identificateurs et voyons lesquelles sont importantes pour chaque cas d'usage.
La discussion est d'autant plus importante que, si certains identificateurs n'ont qu'on rôle technique et sont largement cachés à l'utilisateur (pensons aux adresses MAC par exemple), d'autres sont un vecteur d'identité.
Sur l'Internet, vous n'êtes pas Jean Dupont, né le 3 octobre 1978 à Bois-le-Roi, vous êtes "jdupont43" sur Twitter, vous êtes jean.dupont.fr, vous êtes jeannot@gmail.com, et
ces identificateurs, qui apparaissent à tous, sont votre identité. La première partie de l'exposé portera donc sur ces vecteurs d'identité. Quel est notre futur ?
Quelle identité sera la principale ? Aurons-nous une pluralité d'identités ou bien Facebook sera t-il le seul fournisseur d'identité (comme c'est le cas aujourd'hui pour certaines entreprises qui mettent leur identifiant Facebook sur leurs cartes de visite et publicités) ? Les identités seront-elles basées sur un système centralisé comme Facebook, sur un système arborescent comme les noms de domaine (avec, par exemple, la technologie WebFinger) ou sur autre chose ?
La deuxième partie sera consacrée aux identificateurs fondés sur le contenu. Popularisés par les magnets (utilisés notamment par BitTorrent), normalisés sous la forme des URI "ni", quelle place prendront-ils dans le bestiaire des identificateurs ? Des systèmes de résolution efficaces seront-ils mis en place pour ces identificateurs ?
The document discusses the introduction of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). It notes that while most domain names use .com and country code TLDs, ICANN's new gTLD program will allow for greater diversification. The new gTLDs will launch starting in late 2013, with some targeting specific regions, communities or industries. However, uptake of new gTLDs will depend on promotion efforts and whether users find them intuitive. The document analyzes challenges around establishing new gTLDs and ensuring users understand and adopt them.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

1.Introduction
"Alternative Dispute Resolution" procedures (ADR) are an out-of-court method available to
rights holders who consider that a third party has infringed their rights by filing a domain
name or using it in a way that is detrimental to them.
For the TLDs for which Afnic is the Registry, the Syreli Dispute Resolution System has been
available since November 21, 2011.
A project has been launched such that by the end of 2013, in parallel to the SYRELI ADR, an
ADR with the Arbitration and Mediation Center of the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO Center) will allow claimants to choose to submit their disputes to an
expert appointed by the WIPO Center.
Afnic opened this project for public consultation on its website for 22 days from Monday
March 11 to Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at midnight in order to gather all the opinions, comments
and suggestions about the project and in particular to:
- organize interventions by experts selected in accordance with transparent, non-
discriminatory and publicly disclosed conditions;
- define the rules of conduct applicable to the experts;
- specify the means and tools to ensure the impartial and adversarial intervention of the
experts.
A series of questions was asked about each of the points in the consultation.
As a result, the project was well received and widely relayed on the social media.
The submissions were from highly competent stakeholders concerned by the topics in
question.
The project raised no objections and further ideas were submitted including:
- The protection of personal data with the de-personalization of the decisions in the
proceedings;
- The creation of a large pool of skills acquired during a career without any strict age
limit to benefit from the experience of older workers.
While the idea of a numerus clausus was unanimously rejected, the need to address
potential conflicts of interest involving experts, using specific means over and above a simple
statement of principle was widely approved.
This document presents an overview of the consultation.

2. Overview
2.1. Number and type of participants
In March and April, the information about the public consultation launched by AFNIC was
relayed and discussed by observers (forum, journalists, individuals, web sites) in 42
occurrences on the social media, the tone of which was 100% positive. 62% of the
occurrences were on Twitter, 56% of the occurrences were in English against 40% in French
and 4% in German. The occurrences relayed the opening of the consultation and the
invitation to take part.
Against this backdrop, between March 14 and April 2, six (6) submissions and an
unconfirmed intention to participate were received.
Apart from the participation of an ICANN Ombudsman, all of the submissions received were
from France, from a University lecturer on Arbitration, Intellectual Property and Contracts and
a former Vice-Chancellor, a university professor in private law, a trademark attorney, a
corporate lawyer specializing in intellectual property and an individual acting in a personal
capacity.
2.2. Content of submissions
2.2.1. Candidate file
Proposal: To be included in the list of experts, each candidate must send a file with a
detailed CV and a letter detailing their motivations for wishing to become an expert.

Opinions & Suggestions Number of
submissions
1 / Contractual commitment
- Candidates sign an agreement undertaking to accept the texts, the ADR, and rules of
conduct, with a contractual sanction clause in the event of non-compliance with same;
- Candidates undertake to respect the confidentiality of the contents of ADR files, including
the very existence of the files;
2/ Credentials and certificates
- Candidates certify they are entitled to their full civil rights and provide a criminal record
proving same;
- With respect to the proof of adequate skills and experience, candidates should be left
free to chose the credentials supporting their application;
- Candidates should prove their credentials and that they maintain them each year;
- In practice, compiling credentials is unwieldy and unnecessary since most of the
candidates will be members of regulated professions in which it is easy to check the
information in the application (lawyers, ICC, university professors). A sworn statement
about their credentials and experience should therefore be sufficient;
- The sworn statement should be of the same type as that requested by the WIPO Center;
3/ Insurance
- With respect to the professional insurance of the experts, it was suggested that a group
insurance policy be taken out by the organizers of the ADR for the experts who do not
have insurance coverage for this activity;
- When experts rule on a dispute in an ADR, they are not covered by their usual insurance,
but why require insurance when, in the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), the
parties expressly waive all claims against the participants in the proceedings, including
the Committee? This rule does not apply in cases of misfeasance, but neither do
insurance policies cover damage caused intentionally.
4
No opinion / No direct link with the proposal 2
To summarize:
• The candidates should undertake to comply with all the provisions of the rules and
regulations of the ADR, including the ethical rules;
• A simple method is needed to prove the experts’ skills, experience and moral
character.

2.2.2. The Committee and the selection process
Proposal concerning the Committee: A Committee composed of members of Afnic staff
and members of WIPO Center staff is responsible for selecting the experts. The Committee
only deliberates using electronic means on the basis of documents and files (no physical
meeting of the Committee, no meetings or hearings of candidates). The decisions of the
Committee (registration or refusal of registration, delisting) are sent with explanations by
email and by post to each candidate and/or expert.
Proposal on selection as an expert: The Committee independently studies the file for each
candidate and checks that the latter meets the requirements, if necessary by contacting the
professional organizations cited in the candidate's file. The Committee notifies each
candidate of the reasons for its decision to accept or reject the person. In particular, the
competence and experience of the experts in procedures relating to domain names are taken
into consideration by the Committee as grounds for its decisions.
Opinions & Suggestions Number of
submissions
1/ Odd number:
- The Committee should consist of an odd number of members;
2/ Even number:
- If there is an even number of members, give the casting vote to the Chair of the
Committee or his/her representative;
- The Committee should be set up by two organizations and therefore consist of an even
number of members. If there is an equal number of votes, the candidate is rejected;
- The Committee should have an even number of members and decisions should be taken
not by a simple majority but by a qualified majority; if there are not enough members to
do so, in case of doubt the expert (or candidate) has the benefit of the decision;
- 3 members from the Afnic staff and 3 members from WIPO Center staff with decisions
taken on an absolute majority basis with a casting vote being drawn before deliberation;
- The electronic method used is appropriate.
5
No opinion / No direct link with the proposal 1
To summarize:
• The Committee should consist of an even number of members with a tied vote
decision system.
2.2.3. Public, transparent, objective and non-discriminatory selection criteria
Proposal: To choose an expert on the basis of their candidate file, the Committee considers
the following criteria: (i) the expert must be a qualified lawyer in French law with a minimum
6. PUBLIC CONSULTATION EXPERTS WIPO ADR - OVERVIEW 6
Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.fr
Twitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr
of ten (10) years of experience in the sector of intellectual property and domain names, and
regularly attend training courses in this area; (ii) the expert must not be involved in any
activity incompatible with the independence required to carry out the assignment, and (iii) the
expert must not have committed acts resulting a disciplinary measure and/or legal
proceedings within the last three (3) years.
Opinions & Suggestions from the 6 participants
1/ Skills and experience
- Skills and experience in ADR gained in specific professional organizations;
- Requisite expertise in trademark law, expertise in Intellectual Property law and Internet law;
- Expertise in new technology tools and practices and the Digital Economy;
- Expertise in domain names;
- Recruit experts who can demonstrate good legal reasoning;
2/ Expert profiles
- It would be better to use experts with broader expertise rather than the simply protection of intellectual
property rights (protection of public order, freedom of expression, freedom of enterprise) in order to take
into account:
• The terms of article L45-2 of the French Electronic Communications and Telecommunications Act
(CPCE),
• Satisfactory understanding of the concepts of "good faith" and "the right to bring action", and
• The freedom of communication and the freedom of enterprise of domain name holders.
- Recruit profiles with broader experience than just in intellectual property law, such as academics and more
general profiles as needed by means of quotas;
- Do not exclude lawyers and trademark attorneys from the pool of experts, while being particularly vigilant
about their independence and neutrality in view of their profession;
- Pool of experts: officials from the French National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), academics, retired
judges, lawyers and patent attorneys, etc.; ;
3/ Length of experience
- 10 years of experience are sufficient;
- Given the experience required, do not be too restrictive about an eventual age limit;
4/ Affidavit of good moral character and civil rights
- Affidavit by the candidates that they are entitled to their full civil rights;
- Membership in a regulated profession or civil service presupposes their good moral character;
5/ On the quality of the criteria
- Transparency, objectivity and publication of the criteria mean that everyone can be informed about the
quality of the accepted experts, but also allow those who are not to apply a second time, after "correcting"
the grounds for their refusal;
- The criteria are vague: what does "qualified" mean?, "Activity incompatible with the assignment"? Can
experts be involved in several ADRs and other arbitration bodies for domain names? Are all types of
penalties / sanctions / disciplinary measures to be applied?
To summarize:
7. PUBLIC CONSULTATION EXPERTS WIPO ADR - OVERVIEW 7
Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.fr
Twitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr
• The list should comprise experts selected for their wide-ranging expertise according
to the public, objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria already defined in
the project.
2.2.4. The list of experts: registration period and number of experts
Proposal: The selected experts are registered for a renewable period of five years. There is
no numerus clausus and candidate files may be submitted at any time during the year.
Opinions & Suggestions Number of
submissions
1/ Duration and renewal
- Experts should be registered for a fixed, short term to ensure the list is renewed, initiate
discussion and new insight;
- 5 years with renewal, subject to review of a file on the experience of the expert over the
previous period;
- Organize an annual recruitment on a fixed date;
- 5-year term, renewable once by decision of the Committee on the basis of previous
experience;
- Renewal further to explicit request justified by professional promotion and an updated
CV;
- 3-year term, renewable upon request of the expert with updated information about them
and a new sworn statement;
- Annual recruitment;
- Draw up a list of substitutes.
2/ No numerus clausus
- No numerus clausus and "recruitment" according to the needs of the procedure;
- A numerus clausus system is rigid, strict, constitutes a brake on opening to the outside
world and could discredit the new procedure: since selection is based on candidate files
and not on a competition there is a risk of negative assessment of the "clientelism"
"cronyism" type;
- No numerus clausus but enough experts according to the needs of the procedure.
4
No opinion / No direct link with the proposal 2
To summarize:
• Renewal should be explicit, based on scrutiny of the expert’s work over the previous
period;
• The system should ensure there are enough experts throughout the year to meet the
needs of the procedure.
2.2.5. Rules of conduct
8. PUBLIC CONSULTATION EXPERTS WIPO ADR - OVERVIEW 8
Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.fr
Twitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr
Proposal: The experts undertake to be impartial and independent without taking into
account any economic or personal interest in the result of the resolution of the disputes,
which they must resolve in accordance with the principles of confidentiality, good faith, and
fairness of an adversarial system. The expert must not accept an appointment for any
assignment or must resign from any assignment in which a factual or legal issue may lead to
a close, related, shared or conflicting interest.
Opinions & Suggestions Number of
submissions
1/ On the rules as such
- Select experts who adhere to a recognized Code of Ethics;
- Establish principles clearly and concisely laid out rather than rules that are too long and
too detailed;
- The rules proposed are sufficient since they include the main principles ensuring the
independence of the system;
- The rules proposed are sufficient;
- It makes sense to build on what the WIPO Center does.
2/ On conflicts of interest and the expert’s commitment
- Any conflict of interest must be reported by the expert before undertaking a case;
- The ethical commitments are made when applying and when each assignment is
accepted by the expert;
3/ The signing of a charter summarizing the ethical rules would be a positive, strong
symbolic gesture in favor of the experts’ independence and impartiality.
4
No opinion / No direct link with the proposal 2
To summarize:
• A commitment on the general ethical principles should be made during the selection of
the candidate followed by specific commitments before each assignment.

Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.fr
Twitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr
2.2.6. Delisting & guarantee of impartial, adversarial intervention by the experts
Proposal on the ethical commitment of the expert, prior to each assignment:
Commitment by the expert via a statement of acceptance, impartiality and independence for
each assignment, published for the attention of the Claimants and Holders is the space
dedicated to the case on the WIPO ADR platform.
Proposal on delisting: There is no right of registration on the list. The Committee may at
any time modify the list of experts and withdraw experts from the list when they are no longer
available, or if, during previous litigation proceedings, they regularly failed to meet the
deadlines and requirements in the WIPO ADR regulations. In particular, experts will be
removed from the list by the Committee in the event of an infringement of any one of the
established rules of conduct set out in the WIPO ADR regulations, and in case of sanctions
against an expert by an appropriate professional association.
Opinions & Suggestions Number of
submissions
1- With regard to commitments
- For each file, the experts sign a statement of impartiality and independence, and failing
same, report any item that could pose a reasonable doubt about their neutrality;
2- With regard to guarantees of impartiality: incompatibility of expert / counsel
- Avoid the subjective impartiality of experts (i.e. ensure there is no conflict of interest or
bias in a given case);
- Ensure the objective impartiality of the experts through a strict, general system of
incompatibility between the status of an ADR arbitrator and that of a representative of the
parties in an ADR;
- The purpose is to avoid
* what happened in the past when in an ADR at least one third of the experts
arbitrating disputes concerning a TLD had also represented at least one claimant in an
ADR procedure for the same TLD;
* "switching" in which one counsel brings a claim before an arbitrator which the
counsel has previously arbitrated;
* having a legal counsel for Afnic appointed as an expert to arbitrate disputes on
the .fr zone, a TLD managed by Afnic, the counsel’s client;
- Prohibit on principle WIPO ADR experts from representing claimants or holders in any
other ADR involving the corresponding TLDs;

10. PUBLIC CONSULTATION EXPERTS WIPO ADR - OVERVIEW 10
Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.fr
Twitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr
3- With regard to delisting
- If a conflict of interest is found, the expert must be removed from the list;
- In the event of a complaint against an expert, an ad hoc committee composed partly of
experts investigates the complaint and if necessary ask the expert concerned to withdraw
from the list;
- Annual Meeting of the Committee to deal with complaints relating to conflicts of interest
and breaches of ADR rules and regulations, with exclusion of the expert in the event of a
2/3 majority vote;
- Experts should be able to request their withdrawal from the list at any time;
- In the event of repeated complaints from unrelated parties and the expert cannot provide
a satisfactory explanation, the Committee must temporarily or permanently withdraw the
expert from the list;
4- With regard to control
- The experts undertake to follow vocational training that can be carried out during the
course of their professional activity;
- Annual vocational training certificate;
- Avoid burdening experts with ancillary administrative requirements: they may be seen as
an indication of suspicion and discourage the better elements;
- The training requirement is vague and difficult to verify. It is suggested on the contrary
that experts should be obliged to attend seminars with all the experts once a year at the
initiative of the WIPO Center and Afnic;
- Over-cumbersome rules (frequent activity reports, certificates, etc.) will alienate
intellectual property practitioners when in principle they are the category most capable of
taking decisions in the context of an ADR;
- Control by appeal to a court of law.
No opinion / No direct link with the proposal 1
To summarize:
• The objective impartiality of the experts must be ensured through a strict, general
system of incompatibility between the status of an expert and that of a representative
of the parties in an ADR;
• Experts should be de-listed in the case of proven misfeasance;
• The experts need vocational training.
2.2.7. Designation of an expert for each assignment
Proposal: Given the overall lead-time of two months between opening a case file and the
publication of the decision, it has now been proposed that the expert be appointed by the
WIPO Center. Neither the Claimant nor the Holder may refuse an expert once s/he has been
designated by the WIPO Center.
11. PUBLIC CONSULTATION EXPERTS WIPO ADR - OVERVIEW 11
Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.fr
Twitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr
Proposal (a): Based on the same constraint of lead-times, another proposal to appoint an
expert for an assignment could be as follows: "The WIPO Center appoints two experts with
an order of preference "Expert 1" and "Expert 2", enabling the Claimant and/or the Holder to
refuse Expert 1 and have the case file reviewed by Expert 2. If no action is taken by the
Claimant and/or the Holder, Expert 1 is automatically appointed.”
Opinions & Suggestions Number of
submissions
- The parties must be entitled to report a conflict of interest;
- The expert should be chosen by the parties and failing same by his/her expert peers;
- These proposals are satisfactory insofar as they avoid delaying tactics in the event of
disagreement about the appointed expert;
- In favor of the proposal concerning the appointment of an expert by the WIPO Center of
its own motion (simple, fast and parties can’t usually choose the judge);
- In favor of the proposal concerning the appointment of an expert by the WIPO Center of
its own motion: the procedures for appointing experts by the WIPO Center have been tried
and tested;
- In favor of the proposal to appoint Experts 1 and 2 and also to allow Parties to report a
conflict of interest.
5
No opinion / No direct link with the proposal 1
To summarize:
• Expert #1 should be appointed by the WIPO Center of its own motion and
• If a conflict of interest is raised, expert #2 should be appointed by the WIPO Center
of its own motion.
2.2.8. Free field
Proposal: After examining the project and answering the questions above, the participants
were invited to add other ideas, comments or suggestions.
12. PUBLIC CONSULTATION EXPERTS WIPO ADR - OVERVIEW 12
Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.fr
Twitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr
Ideas, comments and other suggestions Number of
submissions
- The Committee must ensure the quality of the roster of experts;
- Comments were made about the basis of the arbitration tribunal as it is organized by the
Code of Civil Procedure: when sentences refer to previous sentences, this results in a kind
of "case law" which appears to be contrary to Article 1450 of the Code of Civil Procedure
which confines the jurisdiction of the institution to the organization of the procedure; this
means it is the expert in person and not the organizing institution that hands down
decisions;
- The term "arbitrator" may be preferable to that of "expert";
- A brief training session for experts by Afnic-WIPO Center would align practices better;
- The use of retirees would ensure the availability of experts;
- Just as the public consultation was well publicized on the Afnic website and on legal
information sites, the same level of publication is expected for domain name practitioners
as for the call for applications by experts;
- Do not create a closed pool of domain name experts and allow access to corporate
lawyers with experience in domain names;
- Maintain a high level of protection of personal data:
* Do not publish the names and/or first names of claimants and holders of domain
names
* De-personalize decisions.

No addition 1
3. Conclusion
Afnic would like to thank all of the participants in this consultation, for enriching the project
with their contributions both by confirming most of the policy options taken and by making
proposals for the others.
With regard to the rest of the project, Afnic and the WIPO Center are producing draft Experts
WIPO ADR regulation to be presented to the Minister for Electronic Communications for her
approval and publication in the Official Journal.
Afnic and the WIPO Center will then open the call for applications in order to select the
experts.
