Re: [ga] GA position on Verisign contract
This is why there is no other solution than:
- iCANN incorporating as the association of the national NICs (ccTLD, IP
addressing, local/private TLD managing facilities, internet community
services, etc...) and gTLDs at a lower degree.
- that association requesting the UN NGO status.
I note that the USG legitimacy (as per Hans Klein at least) over the
Internet comes from two points:
- the IP addressing scheme the international and social complexity and
technical correlations of which are such that it is definitly an issue for
the ITU/T
- a missing (?) loop in the current BIND version that anyone may add, so
the root may be loaded as several root-file subsets. Once these may 10
lines of code aree added the unicity of the root is preserved but the
multiplicity of its origines is built-in. The role of the iCANN is then to
make sure (according to its equal treatment to all charter) that all the
subsets are presented in a proper format and there is no TLD naming
conflicts. All the current work with UDRP, Registrars and new TLD is QA by
a proheminent body: proposing solutions, control, label for the market to
better chose and be served.
In a nutshell, iCANN is not to "protect" us, but to serve us.
