Re: [wg-review] Nader Calls For World Consumer Protection Organization in Internet

[Phil King <yofelipe@excite.com>]

Glad you're back Mr. Sondow,

This is just exactly the oposite of what the internet needs.  ICANN is a
first, fledgeling step away from USG control, we are attempting to work it
away from US centric control to a viable entity out of National and
traditional Corp/Commercial dominance.  Hopefully this will go the way of
Mr. Nader's last bid for power.
