Re: VeriSign freezes SiteFinder

[elliot noss]

again, IMHO, ditto for the ITU. they would be more bureaucratic than 
autocratic, but would still not have a clue about the Internet or DNS 
or domain names or business........

and in addition in both cases my voice would be driven through my 
politicians. much as I like the folks at Industry Canada who are 
responsible for this, my voice is more effective directly and, with 
respect, is MUCH more relevant than theirs. and that is Canada. imagine 
the equivalent in the developing world.

be careful what you wish for.

Which government, exactly?




All of 'em.  Phase out non-geo domains, if need be.  Or give 'em to 
the
UN.


Roger,

Phase out .com/.net/.org, etc ?

If not, i wonder how well the UN could handle that responsibility?
Hand them over to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
which already has regulatory involvment in radio and telephone
communications
and has headquarters in Vienna and Geneva.
They are better set up to maanage something like this than the UN.
