This means that comments, reporting requests etc. are interference in sovereign national management. This is explicitely prohibited by GAC and WSIS which prohibit the influence of a foreign country in the management of a national zone. As an US Citizen, Member of the US Civil Society, Danny Younger is fully legitimate in criticizing, intefering, hacking, etc. the ".us" zone. He is at least discourteous in negatively discussing any other national zone. This is something we all tend to forget and which is very negatively appreciated by national ccTLDs. This unfortunate attitude of us is certainly the main reason why the ccNSO includes a limited set of ccTLDs. May be could we take advantage from this to investigate all the cases, documents, situations, etc. where ICANN and ICANN Community Members interfere with sovereign name spaces.

Actually, I think it could be a good occasion to investigate a job that could fall onto the GA's mandate. To create specialised investigation committees to report on ICANN wrongdoings or possible better doing. This would mean that remarks as the one Danny is talented could result from a group of persons having commonly investigated the issue (possibly with a dedicated site) and reported it.

Hi Bashar,

While there is no "rule", there is an IAB proposed
guideline:

"If you want to use wildcards in your zone and
understand the risks, go ahead, but only do so with
the informed consent of the entities that are
delegated within your zone."

Full IAB commentary at

regards,
Danny
