Sorry Bradley, I tend to sometimes forget? to look where I am walking. Your
directions are quite helpful. I sent a tiny contribution off to David? -- then
my little (4 ft, 79 lb) superintendent wife asked if I put the extra 2 cents on
my envelope.
Hey -- nobody needs to apologize for the writing in the below referenced docs.
It is refreshing and straight forward and appears honest enough. I put #s just
for my lack of organization.
1. Most distressing is this under the glossary:
TLD Holder/Owner: A TLD holder/owner is the entity (person or organization)
that claims a TLD and is responsible for its operation. The reason that we call
this entity a “holder/owner” is because there is some question in legal circles
as to whether a TLD is property that can be owned, and the TLDA is making no
judgment on this question but will leave it up to the lawyers and courts.
The understanding is OK but fundamentally flawed. Ownership is really not
debated. And we generally do not really think of ownership and property titles
here. What it boils down to here is akin to a seat at the Opera. Who the hell
knows or cares who owns it. When you have a ticket you have the exclusive(i
hope) right to the seat. The whole concept of the CC is all about that. Hence
many agree that the term USER or RIGHTFUL USER is appropriate. You cannot
define that which is your whole purpose for existing. Or we can fully say "the
person or entity that has the right to use". I know that means that you are
arbiters and justices regarding individual rights, but get used to it and wear
it with dignity.
2. The purposes and intent section seems a bit on the limiting side. It reads
and sounds like you still want one central authority deciding what is right for
all Internet Users. And the only difference between you and ICANN would be --
the Who.
3. Nowhere do you tell the commoner what the hell your talking about. From
reading it, I get the impression this club is only for brainiacs and
sophisticated computer engineering folk.
Sorry but you are suggesting that you effect millions of dotcommoners and
leaving them out of the founding documents makes you little more than the
stakeholderless ICANN.
It is my hope that you can accept me and my expertise as I wholly rely on you
and yours.
It is my belief that you want to do the right thing, but I know you do not know
how to express it -- legalese aside. Technical engineering expertise is not
something that is innate. You must work hard and study to be good at it.
Likewise, thinking abstractly and in a manner that is logical and inclusive is
not innate, you must work and work and study to become even satisfactory at it.
Why do we accept this in the engineering but assume anyone can do it in the
logical thinking arena?
Cogito Ergo Sum is not intended to be a placebo.
