Short and sweet, Jay. Thanks.
Let's hope one day we can add to
this chronology: The world wakes
up to the raw fact that the emperor
has no clothes, because there has
never been a public vote to privatise
our public Internet, and there's never
been a public vote to give ICANN the
power of a king, ruling by decree.
And worse than the emporor being
deluded into thinking he's not nude,
the emperor still refuses to recognize
he is a pretender to the throne. Worse,
there should be no throne whatsoever,
only a truly open democracy, not this
gerrymandered sham of an election
wearing the mask of legitimacy.
Amen for ICANN critics being elected
to the board, but the board is a deceit,
a puppet dancing to the masters' tune,
and their presence oin the board just
lends credence to dour incredulity.
ICANN remains illegitimate, governing
without the consent of the governed.
Billions are disenfranchised by this
ruse to rule the DNS land rush.
ICANN need to be stopped in its tracks,
investigated, and replafed with a global
Internet constitution, laws not decrees.
