The fact that ICANN can announce a team of experts to guide what
should be a process of democratic global governance which consists
of two members from the US and two from EU, in this time and age is
close to sick... <br>
<br>
But then they are able to do so because those who should ask
questions have forgotten how to ask questions from those who wield
power, and seem more busy cosying up to them from whatever reasons.<br>
<br>
Civil society groups in the IG space really need to sit back and
think what they have been doing and what they have achieved in all
these years. <br>
<br>
I would not even participate in a discussion on an ICANN
accountability process which starts on this note, which is such a
big affront to such a big part of the world.<br>
