Re: [ga] NTIA Intervention
Dear atlarge.org,
I am surprised that these civil right people defend ".xxx" but not
the cultures, privacy and anti-racist rights, anti-censoring. The US
position over ".xxx" is in direct line with the US Statement of
Principles. And the US Statement of Principles is in direct line with
the Cyberspace Security policy expressed for years
(http://whitehouse.gov/pcipb) every Government can only agree with
the concerns.
The Internet constitution is in the code. ICANN is in the code.
Change the source code, that is, change the internet architecture and
you will remove ICANN. You have a unique opportunity which is the
multilingual Internet, that IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Cisco try to block
through the "RFC 3066 bis" proposition - a similar thinking to this
IDNA which never worked. This is the core of the whole change: this
proposition discusses the tagging of the languages. Their proposition
is that they tag them with limited information suiting their needs.
My opposition is to permit the users to tag their languages the way
they need. The difference is between a user oriented, no Internet
Central Agency for Names and Numbers international network system,
and the status quo of an AmerICANN control.
We discussed that over and over. Nothing has changed on the Civil
Right side, nothing has moved.
You can cry without an impact, or you can work and document to really
block errors and support us (R&D) for a result. You to chose.
Cheers.

I presume you have seen the BBC News article here:

For the past 5 years I have argued the case for the implementation
of agreed and transparent processes and agreements; the removal of
ICANN accountability to DoC alone; and the restoration of elected
representatives of Internet Users and/or Registrants to the heart of
policy oversight on the ICANN Board.
ICANN's global credibility was severely compromised by the expulsion
from its Boardroom of the elected representatives of the At Large.
This palace coup evicted the most accountable and democratic element
in its structure and governance, primarily because ICANN and its
sponsors feared the free and open voice that the At Large directors
represented.
Compromising ICANN further will only lead to further calls for a
UN-style oversight or to the 'balkanisation' of the Net and its key functions.
Best wishes,
Richard Henderson
