Re: [ga] A WorldNetDaily .com Article from Karl E. Peters(tlda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric and all,

  As a very general statement, I agree with Erics' contention in
regards to the UN.  The oil for food program is stark demonstration
of why, just to mention one.

  As to Karl's article, I have yet to read it, so I will refrain from
direct comment to such until I have and I have gotten some feedback
from at least a few of our members.

  On the idea that ICANN strictly being a standards setting
organization,
it is doubtful at this juncture given the history of ICANN that they are

even fit for this role without significant adult/user supervision
indefinitely.
Yet this said, what we do know is that ICANN mission creep and the
MOU has defined ICANN's role to far more than simply a standards
organization or quasi-authority.  ICANN has shown that it cannot or
will not manage it's own legally contracted Accredited agents,
Registries
and Registrars in a manner that fits the needs and requirements of
registrants, and users, not to mention Government agencies.  We,
including myself, believe these inadequacies, growing in impact and
frequency of incidents, is due to a deficit of good and proper
leadership
and process, as well as structure of determining that leadership.
Therefor
until and unless this central aspect of the overall central problem is
addressed
in an open and transparent manner, the many occurrences of mismanagement

by Registries, Registrars, and yes even some registrants, shall
propagate
indefinitely and at an ever increasing rate.

  something else, or an agenda based on instability of the net. OTOH the
  concept that ICANN should strictly be a standard setting org, is self
  justifying.see: http://www.ul.com/about/ could you imagine if ICANN
  even tried to live up to such goals?
