hi michele, IANAL and i try not to play one on the net. but ...
The original language would have put All DNS servers in scope - so if you setup a server and shoved cPanel / Plesk / $software on it you'd probably end up with your own nameservers And now you'd suddenly be on the hook for a load of headaches
The revised language means that hobbyists and small business who are NOT selling DNS and related services to 3rd parties are out of scope
oh, i understand you and marco saying that. what i do not understand is how
"authoritative domain name resolution services as a service procurable by third-party entities”.
clearly delineates a set. my confusion mostly hangs on "procurable" and who "third parties" are. if i use 77.88.8.1, which is free, am i procuring services? there is no financial transaction, which i colloquially take to be procuring. if that is procuring yandex's service, then how is that different from pointing my client resolver at my isp's cache? in fact, the latter may be construed as a paid service, i.e. more of a procurement. i can see that yandex is providing the service and i am consuming it. where the heck is a third party and are they bringing dessert? what subset of these [sic] three parties must be in the EU to be covered by this? randy, known to be easily confused --- randy@psg.com `gpg --locate-external-keys --auto-key-locate wkd randy@psg.com` signatures are back, thanks to dmarc header butchery
