Re: [ga] .ZA administrator says may be forced to shut the ccTLD down
Dear YJ, Don't even sink to WXWs silly level. Why are they called "Country" Codes. I know that people love to saintify Postel, but in fact he gave some
of the ccTLDs to the wrong folk.
We all have a moral mandate to use ccTLDs to the benefit of the people within the geographic location of that ccTLD. The fact some countries are corrupt in their government does not change the design. Bill Herron helped design those ccTLDs and I would not disrespect him by allowing a wrongness in application. Yes we both have suffered from the effects that the first internet was designed to monitor, the same that gave us both radiation poisoning. Rings of ships and then ground rings with a need of inter connectivity around test atomic explosions gave rise to the genius of the internet. The move from a ship to a CC was an act of the US Naval military. DARPA and ARPA and even the NSA and their precursors had a hand in the benevolent giving and assignment of ccTLDs. Those of us that have been deeply effected and physically damaged by the tests that gave rise to this phenomenon are insulted greatly by flippant comments by some who do not know the gravamen of the experiments that lead to their livelihood. And it is true most of us are Americans. While the Internet may indeed be a by-product and the nuclear proliferation a direct result, many of us view the by-product as a just sacrifice. Please use all diligence to contribute to your ccTLD and act in accordance with your national integrity and International Standards. Sincerely,
