Wow!
You certainly stepped up to the plate and gave a mighty whack Larry!
OK. So ICANN, born in sin, is reformable. An ambitious statement.
I think it deserves to be destroyed but I will also acknowledge that
the difficulty of doing that could be equal to the challenge of
reforming it.
So let's assume reform rather than destruction is the agenda. The
question is obviously how. And for me personally before I could even
begin to think of reform, I want some answers to its patrimony and
presumed authority.
What role does Sims still play? What about Touton? Is there a
shadow cabinet lurking behind these men in formulating their
strategy? If so who? Cerf? ISOC? WIPO? Where is the
accountability in ICANN's actions? There is none that I can see.
Roberts and Sims/Touton presume to run the Internet. And as you just
pointed out they presume to do so on the actions of bad faith that
torpedoed IFWP.
So if you are going to reform ICANN, how are you going to do it?
What will be the basis of your actions for dealing with Jones Day and
with Roberts? And I might add Beckwith Burr. Power was handed these
people from on high. We know neither the annoiters of these people
nor their agenda. We do know that they DO NOT OPERATE IN GOOD FAITH.
Dyson as long as she remains associated with ICANN also needs to be
added to those who cannot be trusted.
So how then are we to deal with them?
What are the goals and the steps to be taken?
How do you deal with people who are usurpers without legitimacy? Can
you reform ICANN without dealing with these people? I don't think so!
how can you reform without any grounds for trust?
I am listening. You opened the door a crack. A flood of answers is due.
If you disagree that legitimacy of these people needs to be settled
before you set about reforming them, please explain in detail why.
DAVID STEELE, PLEASE PUT LESSIG BACK IN BWG.
