Re: [ga] No Funds for Proper Analysis


Dear Derek,
this post is interesting. Please do not be hurt as it is not intended
and this is basis for further analysis, but this exactly the powerfull
rolling process to construct uncessary institutions.

What is the Internet? A consensus. Billion of people agreeing the
same thing: to use TCP/IP protocols to dialog together. This is
nothing more. Question: is Internet necessary to TCP/IP? No.
Is TCP/IP necessary to the Internet? Yes. From this one can say
that the Internet is part of the TCP/IP usage. Would you make the
Internet boring, TCP/IP users would move out of the Internet. This
is whet one start hearing around: OpenNet a successor to the
Internet.

I agree with you the DNSO is a mess and the iCANN is of no other
use than allowing the USG to delegates something they do not
know what to do with, and they do not even own as it does not exist.

So why do you care about groupies - they are fun. I love calling
Kent or Dave or Harald or Robert or Joop or Patrick or Danny or
me a groupy. They enjoy time that way, disputing absurd issues
about a group of 30 people. (BoD + Staff).  Looks like a Parent
Association of 8 years old class.

iCANN is of no use:
- if they had some use in root management they would hire a
   Technical manager
- TLD management? .. they even mess the few the create in
   entering collider.  Two TLD  a year: creating one to 1000
   TLDs takes me 10  minutes (I automated the process :-) ).
- they are of no use in creatig IP addresses. Too complex, too
   politictal for them. Will be taken over..
- they have some use in alocating Proteocl numbers: you need
   to have someone rememberng were the book is.

Oh, no I am wrong. They have a use: to have peole sqwaking
about them. Look at the number of sites, documents, etc...
iCANN has nothing to do with the net, it is pure show.biz

Frankly. Why do you want me to put a penny in funding the
iCANN? Please give me a good reason to help such a
charity (?), research (?), educational (?) corporation.... I am
99% concerned in the iCANN for one single reason: to lower
the harm it can cause to me.

Now, would the iCANN stick to its bylaws and accept TLDs
as unlimited Members it could provide some good internationad
consensus secretariat. It could be of some good use. But
the $ 50.000 application fee into the "international TLD
business" killed that..... and I am afraid your propositions
are not correcting it. Or am I wrong?
