[ga] Re: The Arabic Internet Names Consortium (AINC)

[Joe Baptista <baptista@dot-god.com>]

Well my main concern would be that the arabic world free itself from
reliance on the USG root server infrastructure and start their own - which
would provide arabic governments with some satisfaction that it has
integrety - i.e. not under us government control - which my letter to the
privacy and information commissioners of canada makes clear.

Cheers
