Re: UN Panel Aims to End Internet Tug of War by July
What if the UN says ITU should run the TLDs, ICANN says yes, and, a significant portion of the operational internet says no?
Nothing happened beyond a bit of noise on mailing lists when ICANN did their coup, why should anything happen now? Now ICANN are ramping up their domain tax to fund the increasing overhead they are imposing, who will tax less ICANN or ITU? brandon

Given that ICANN [probably] won't be doing things like (eg) funding Cuba's state-run proxies and content filters, I'd say ICANN. But the amount of the tax isn't the real issue in that sentence. Making me underwrite Cuban oppression is. Sorry, I know this stuff comes as a shock to BBC types. -- Eric A.
