<P>Dr. Dierker and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Unfortunately as a contracted agent of DOC/NTIA, the answer is</P>
<P>yes.&nbsp; Fortunately if DOC/NTIA has aquiesed to this decision by ICANN</P>
<P>the USTR may have something to say about it as Haiti is on their</P>
<P>watch list.&nbsp; Ergo US companies are not legally allowed under law</P>
<P>and regulation to trade in any fasion with Haiti ligitimately.&nbsp; Hence my</P>
<P>earlier announcment in part.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; From where I sit this amongst a host of other ICANN errant decisions</P>
<P>demonstrates clearly again why individual representation is needed and</P>
<P>has been for over 9 years now.&nbsp; It also demonstrates why ICANN does not</P>
<P>want individual representation as such decisions would likely not have</P>
<P>been made as the make up of the now musical chairs ICANN bod, would</P>
<P>have been drastically different as the only election by individuals in 2000</P>
<P>demonstrated clearly.&nbsp; Again, bad process = bad product, regardless of</P>
<P>how well it is marketed.</P>

<DIV>The legitimate point of this thread is; Does ICANN have the authority to deny a country a ccTLD due to politics and human rights matters? (someone concerned please cite someplace that purports the answer) And secondly, How should they exercises that right if they indeed have it?</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>On a humanitarian basis I do think that Sotiris should ask for some shows of hands and if it be clear, then our body could formalize a letter in condemnation and support for our fellow man stuck in such a hell. This would be appropriate for this assembly.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Happy 2nd of July.</DIV>
