<br>
Thanks Carlos for the mention. Yes, I distributed a paper
leaflet to some friends in Paris, during the WSIS.<br>
The demonstration is clear.<br>
Two journal articles are going to be published. Please, just
wait a few days.<br>
I asked the question about tax heavens to Fadi Chehadé in Paris,
and to 3 members of ICANN board/GNSO.<br>
You will find the verbatims in my articles.</big><br><br></div></div></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

Dear folks, this may or may not pertain to any current thread
of "dialogue", but is nonetheless quite interesting, and
perhaps revealing of the nature of the gTLD business.<br>
<br>
Journalist Dominique Lacroix (Le Monde) has put together some
statistics regarding the economic interests behind the gTLD
craze unleashed by ICANN:<br>

This is interesting Carlos and Dominique. Do you have the URL
to the piece that Dominique wrote? <br>

- 393 US applications are by US companies' branches based in
European tax heavens (including 76 bids by Amazon Luxemburg);<br>
<br>
- the total of gTLD applications by US companies' branches
based in tax heavens is 891; just 390 applications are
formally from US-based companies' headquarters;<br>
<br>
- in summary, 47% of all gTLD applications are operations by
US companies' branches based in tax heavens;<br>
<br>
- of the total 1930 bids, 1455 (75,4%) will be run by one of
seven US backend operators.<br>
