Recently Alejandro Pisanty, an ICANN puppet who is fluent in Spanish -
posts some information to a south american network operators list I
subscribe too - very low traffic - everyone's more or less polite. But
Elejandro does not even bother to translate it - which he can do quickly -
or even grind the message through bable into spanish so the spanish
subscribers to the spanish list will understand it.
Instead - the lovely Michael Sondow, an anti ICANN type, takes the time to
translate. That's nice. Thank you Michael. Sometimes as i pick through
the debris this world has become I find human gems - always a pleasure.
Regards
Joe Baptista

No es cierto. No hay ninguna ley dando autoridades a ICANN. Los EEUU
no es una dictadura donde unas personas pueden, por puro gusto,
crear autoridades sin legislaci�n. Todav�a no.

ICANN no est� cargada con ninguna de estas funciones, sino con la
mera coordinaci�n t�cnica del sistema de nombres de dominio. Y nada
m�s.

ICANN no tiene, o no debe tener, absolutamente nada que ver con
hacer la pol�tica del Internet. Es un enga�o.
