[ga-icann] ICANN policy on record keeping

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

Whereas the ICANN archive at
http://www.icann.org/stockholm/unique-root-draft.htm comprises three
distinct elements, each posted on a different day, but noted as posted
together on 28 May 2001:-

1) Discussion Draft: A Unique, Authoratitive Root for the DNS, posted 28 May
2001.

2) Note to the ICANN Community by Stuart Lynn, posted 29 May 2001.

3) Public Comment Forum, posted 1 June 2001 (?)


Whereas between May 28 2001 and June 1 2001, many comments about item
numbered 1 above were posted by members of the ICANN community to various
official DNSO mailing lists, also published by other media in the public
domain. 

It is therefore apparent that the historical context in which some comments
are made by the community cannot be relied upon.

For the purposes of historical accuracy, and the avoidance of doubt that
ICANN may tamper retrospectively with substantive documents in its own
archive, I call upon members of the GA to urge ICANN to note all updates as
and when they are made to specific URLs for all to see.
