Re: [ga] Haiti the Internet and ICANN

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr. Dierker and all,

 Well let se now, the Vatican has it's own ccTLD or some call it an
sTLD = Special TLD, yet no other religious deity has one.  Isn't that
a bit odd?  Also Scotland applied for a ccTLD and was denied,
remember those debates?  However Ireland has it's own ccTLD, doesn't
that dichotomy strike you as rather odd as well?  And .Iq has been
assigned to Iraq yet has no functioning NIC or NOC, even odder still?  
And now we have the dubiously illustrious Haiti getting it's own ccTLD 
granted by the omnipotent ICANN Bod.

  I am very sure the Scots are not very pleased and may now start to
wonder if the Vatican is not happy with how they practice Catholicism
or that ICANN has all along viewed them as blasphemers in comparison
to the peoples of Haiti.  Now I am a Jew, and even in the new testament
we are gods chosen people, yet ICANN has not yet seem fit to bestow
upon us our own ccTLD or sTLD.  Why is that I wonder, is it because
we have offended our Catholic brothers in some very egregious way,
or are we not deserving of such a bestowance by the omnipotent ICANN?
Are we worse than the world recognized criminal state of Haiti?  Is it
because we are allied in the state of Israel in a struggle against those 
whom would seek to destroy us and the state of Israel?  If it is any of 
these reasons why than we ask for the aid of the holy se for his
assistance 
in recognizing us to the omnipotent Bod of ICANN to grant us our
deliverance 
and allow us our own ccTLD or sTLD.

  So now Dr. Dierker, are you and Debbie beginning to get the drift
here, or need I go further?  Is this not an illustration of why ICANN
Directors desperately need to be directly elected by any and all
interested
stakeholders, users and/or registrants?  I mean really now, Scotland
isn't 
deserving of a ccTLD and Haiti is?  England is deserving of 2 ccTLD's, 
.GB and .UK and Ireland with .IR and yet again, Scotland is not?  Come
on 
now folks, wake up and smell the coffee or tea if you prefer, and
recognize 
ICANN sense it's inception practices Selective Censorship in one of it
most
ugly forms.  Any form of imposed Censorship is wrong.  I reject such
behavior or concept, I hope all of you will also.
