Re: [ga] Haiti, the Internet and ICANN

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let me make it clear to everyone else. We should not be looking for an opinion here. Although, Jeff, thank you so much for yours. We should be looking for specific authority for acting within ICANN.

  Let me further state that I am trying to head off the extremely inflammatory remarks going back and forth under the pretext of something to do with the GA. This makes it abundantly important that allegations and statements be supported by cited authority.

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

  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?
   
  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.
   
  Happy 2nd of July.

Are you denying that your government is kidnapping people, sending 
them to secret prisons and torturing them?


Maybe _YOU'RE_ the uninformed one?
