I have often complained about the excessive US-centrism of ICANN, therefore 
I hope that my statement will not been suspected of partisanship.

I believe that to cancel the ICANN meeting or to move it outside of the 
United States will be an insult to the memory of the thousands that are 
still buried under the ruins of the Twin Towers.
The ICANN meeting can and should give its contribution to defeat the 
terrorism by showing that the international Internet community is active, 
alive and well, is close to its members that are suffering more in this 
particular moment, and reaffirms the willingness to follow the path of peace 
and progress and not the path of war and fear.

Best regards
Roberto
