Re: [ga] IANA & the .US Sell-Out
William,
The issue is not whether a particular government has reached out to its own
internet community, but rather whether the IANA has communicated with that
Internet community. The IANA is not authorized to simply take the word of
any government entity and to proceed on an "emergency redelegation" solely on
the basis of that government's claims without some semblance of due process
that provides for necessary notice-and-comment. Where was the publication
for comment of the IANA consideration of the proposed transfer?
With regard to your latter comment, I have neither assumed nor stated that
"removing speculators from the market is a good thing". It would have been a
"good thing" to have had a Policy Council consider the geographic identifiers
issue prior to the open launch of the usTLD, so that such names could have
been properly reserved for the relevant local communities. Had the IANA
communicated with the American Internet Community subsequent to the NTIA
selection of Neustar as the contractor, it is likely that this issue and
others that pertained to Neustar's proposed Policy Council would have
surfaced.
