Re: [wg-review] Re: [cctld-discuss] Multilingulaism in ICANN

[Derek Conant <dconant@dnsga.org>]

ccTLD representatives and other international representatives with all of
their resources, opinions and frustration towards ICANN and its policy appear
to not participate with organizations that have demonstrated energy, power
and directives toward serving a better DNS.

Nothing will induce more change than a competitive organization that has the
ability and resources to propose productive change and that will not
compromise its constituencies, through legislation and through other
effective communication channels within the US Government.

ICANN serves only the US Government.  Make no mistake about that.  It appears
to me that any topic of discussion here, or any seemingly productive
direction or result of such topic, will only move forward if it fits the US
Government's current and future plan for the Internet.  I cannot see that
participants here (whether they know it or not) are doing anything more than
playing out the US Government's plan of furthering US global control over the
Internet.  Through my experience, I know that participants here are not going
to convince a US quasi-government agency (ICANN) of any change unless you can
show that it will first benefit the US Government's plan to maintain US
global control over the Internet.

I hope that this will help make your discussions regarding the subject matter
more efficient.
