Ronda,
Being on a number of forums relating to domain names and other forums not
directly related but where they have been discussed, I don't see the evidence
that the "Internet community is being disenfranchised by the whois process of
ICANN."
Can you please provide references for your basis in making this blanket
statement?
Or is it more appropriate to say you disapprove of any process that removes
control from the governments?
Ronda, the trend in government is for DEREGULATION and PRIVITIZATION, two
concepts that seem at odds with your own personal political views. But I don't
see much of a groundswell of support for your positions, and frankly think you
are just trying to be grandstanding.
