Why does Parminder have to give a utopian vision for the future

balance in that?</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't believe I asked for a utopian vision.

<div>Evolution means a series of minor changes, this would be
several steps down the road, and unless ICANN HQ is moved to
the moon (or perhaps a private island [we could call it
"Internetistan"] purchased with new gTLD monies) there will
always be a jurisdictional issue. Of course, if ICANN became
an IGO of the UN system then your requirements might be met,
but none of us ( I think) want an "intergovernmental only"
ICANN.</div>

There is also disruptive evolution (see preceding comment). However,
I cannot see how the legitimacy issue can be dealt with if even
basic discussions (think Vint Cerf and Nick Gowing at the first IGF
also) cannot be had. If I/we are contrary, then with balance I can
say we are outnumbered, what are the others' excuses?</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>which legitimacy issue?</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

And how exactly is this internationalisation when US domestic
institutions dominate? Of course there is a matter of degree... and
that can be run with... but there may be substantive differences in
this commodious term...</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Where would like to see ICANN HQ'ed?</div><div><br></div><div>Where is your "Internet-istan"?</div></div><div>
