As discussed in [Singh2020], in India, where providers are
responsible for implementing the blocking but no method is
mandated, the six major ISPs (covering 98.82% of all subscribers)
were tested on a total of 4379 blocked websites (based on court
orders, user reports, and publicly available or leaked government
orders) by using DNS poisoning/injection or using censorship based
on HTTP or the Server Name Indication (SNI). The censorship
techniques used and websites blocked were different across ISPs.
Multiple ISPs used two different techniques (depending on the
website), and all but one provided censorship notices. A list of
4379 potentially blocked websites was tested; 4033 of those websites
appeared in at least one ISP's blocklist. Providers blocked between
1892 and 3721 of the 4033 websites, with only 1115 websites (27.64%)
blocked by all six ISPs.

<abstract>
<t>This document presents a taxonomy of a set of "Alternative Networ
k Deployments" that emerged in the last decade with the aim of bringing Internet
connectivity to people or providing a local communication infrastructure to ser
ve various complementary needs and objectives. They employ architectures and top
ologies different from those of mainstream networks and rely on alternative gove
rnance and business models.</t>
<t>The document also surveys the technologies deployed in these netw
orks, and their differing architectural characteristics, including a set of defi
nitions and shared properties.</t>
<t>The classification considers models such as Community Networks, W
ireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), networks owned by individuals but le
ased out to network operators who use them as a low-cost medium to reach the und
erserved population, networks that provide connectivity by sharing wireless reso
urces of the users, and rural utility cooperatives.</t>

under "This is the list of all published papers", but this sentence
indicates eleven. Should we update to "twelve"? If not, should the

Looking at <https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/biasws/materials/>,
we see 26 (twenty-six) papers listed with "interim-2024-biasws-<##>",
so "19 position papers" in the current text is also unclear to us.

<!-- [rfced] Appendix A: We had trouble following this sentence
and updated it as noted below. Please review, and let us know if
anything is incorrect.
Also, please note that we changed "threads" to "threats" here. Please
let us know if this is incorrect.
In addition, please confirm that "prelimited"* is the correct word
here and that "scope as dedicated for the workshop discussion" will

(1) only provided a very prelimited analysis of an idea that was felt
to be incomprehensive for discussion at the workshop, or (2)
addressed problems that were beyond the scope as dedicated for the
workshop discussion e.g. discussing cyber security threads as a

that imposes blocking.
Currently:
Papers that were not

Possibly:

means "these scenarios")?
Original:

a high risk for all Internet users but do not necessarily imply an

Suggested:

should still be reviewed as a best practice. -->
