You are right Jay. and Lessig was/is absolutely right too. The GAC was
planned from the earliest stages of ICANN as a body of gov't types who
could use the ICANN shell and the built in mutability of the ICANN by laws
to rule the internet through ICANN from behind the scenes. Magaziner,
Cerf, Roberts and Dyson were all midwifes to the big lie. The ability to
keep an internet free of gov't control lies now largely in the hands of
Network Solutions.
