Re: [IFWP] Internet stability - ICANN Creditability

[Jeff Williams]

Jeff and all,

  I can see your point.  I tend to agree to the extent that people that are afraid
of government, shouldn't be, at least not in the US anyway.  But some seem
to be in instances where some regulation is involved.  However the USG is
at least accountable to the voters, that can't be said of the ICANN or the
ICANN's creation the GAC and Mr. Toomey.

The comments made by Dr. Tooney concern me, he sounds a bit like a mafiosi
less the dentures.  It's critical that government refrain from threatening
comments.
