        John,


        Link me up publicly here so I can sign up and do it all with cc's to 
this list. I have some rights* to a TLD which is very lowtech. I believe that 
we would all benefit from a more active and inclusive space in which TLDs can 
follow the orginal white paper that Postel was involved with in establishing 
ICANN.  I think glass ceilings and restrictions that are in place are a healthy 
natural impediment toward growth but that we need unrestricted space in which 
to expand our horizons.


        *My doctoral thesis was on property rights vis a vis restrictions of 
use constituting a taking of property, with all the trappings of due process 
and constitutionality in both United States of America and Mexico.  And I still 
am at a loss as to what property rights are bestowed through the channels of 
TLDs. Mueller and Froomkin seem confident along with Faussett and Oppenheimer, 
but I am still scratching my head.

          The TLDA failed because not enough people were interested in working 
hard enough to make
          it work. It also failed because Joe's misbehavior on the public lists 
scared people away.

          Its there if people want it to work. Instead of throwing stones at 
it, Hugh, why don't you join th is management via technicalities and technical 
management. Then there are other issues -- management of technology and the 
technology of management. 

                      How to make parts interact can be technical or social. 
Depends on the parts. Human parts have one very varied set of principals, some 
machine parts have very "on off" simplicity. The marketing of a political 
answer to a legal quandry regarding internet privacy is quite technical and 
requires a complex application of soft science in the areas of anthropology and 
social justice. So trying to make a clean seperation between technical and Poli 
tical is nonsense. 

                      My humor was that ICANN in its' own in house process uses 
the failure to apply technology as an excuse to avoid efficiency which would be 
contrary to the bureaucracy they have built up to justify and obscure their 
actions. If this list were allowed or was run efficiently we would be dangerous 
to the status quo. So matters like banning people, accuracy in post archiving 
and anti-spam and virus are to be kept innocuous and unaccontable in the 
political model that is ICANN.

                      As to Palmer's comments -- again he revels in a victory 
through silencing criticism as opposed to honest discourse and transparency in 
activity. Generally the sign of fear and lack of confidence in the correctness 
in ones' a is management via technicalities and technical management. Then 
there are other issues -- management of technology and the technology of 
management.

where the TLDA is/was failure because of even worse forsight and more lack of 
human understanding.

                        No need to worry - I contacted a responsible party at 
ICANN and 
                        the miscreant has been removed from the list.

                        You can all go back to your regularily scheduled 
discussions, none
                        of which have advanced the cause of domain name owners 
in all
                        the years that I have been here.

                          Hugo and all,



                            No my experiance regarding Eric is he prefers 
technical management via some

                          sort of politics.  I on the other hand believe that 
such a practice almost always

                          ends up being folly and results in a poor solution or 
more likely an unworkable one.  

                          There are no political solutions to technical 
problems, only technical solutions....  

                          On a rare occasion a solution to a technical problem 
is agreed to or proposed by a 

                          politician.  But those very rare occurances are 
usually, or nearly always as a result 

                          of that politician consulting with a good technician 
or one sort or another before 

                          offering his/her proposed solution.
