Re: [ga] ITU Head Foresees Internet Balkanization

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had the exact same thoughts. As far back as the .biz debates for sure but I think further back with Peter, God rest his soul, and the beginning of the ccTLD debates before during and after the TV and WS and LA fiascos. I think we ran through it just after the MOU was signed giving immediacy to more gTLDs which began the dual phrases of Generic and Global top level domains.
  At any rate, the ITU is way slow.

Yoshio Utsumi is only about three years behind the curve or maybe a bit
more. We predicted this just prior to the MDR ICANN meeting. I
am always amazed how slow thinking and lack of forethought seems
to plague these folks and those whom are held out as so called leaders.
