Neither have I been to any ITU meeting. So since you are laying
down the rules regarding who can speak about IG processes and who
cannot, you may want to be more precise and tell me how many
meetings of any IG forum one must attend before one can comment on
it.<br>
<br>
As for following these meetings, the problem is not so much about
other people not following what is happening at ICANN (which
deliberately makes things difficult to follow which is one of
their main strategies of protecting and perpetuating themselves) ,
but those who go to ICANN not following what is happening in the
real world. This is why they can cause such serious blunders as
evident in the new gTLD implementation where new forms of private
regulatory mechanisms are being set up in very partisan ways -
like the one which will regulate the use of .health gtld, and
generic words belonging to the whole English speaking community
are allowed to be privatized in their domain name version like
.book and .beauty....</blockquote>
<br>
To compare the ICANN's multistakeholder model to government
regulation, no trademark law will ever allow these words as
trademarks, because of their generic nature.... So one can see who
protects public interest better. ICANN doesn't care about general
public rights to generic words of the language and allows their
proprietization while typical trademark (written and administered by
those bad governments) are designed not to allow such a thing to
happen.<br>
<br>
When, for instance, Amazon gets the ownership of .book (as their
exclusive gtld not available to others) they can legitimately parade
and publicize the term '.book' as their own as they please, and with
extended use, not only will that make an extremely unfair
association between the word 'book' and amazon's business in books
in people's mind, in time, they may also claim trademark rights over
the word, with some legitimate grounds behind them.... Therefore,
not only ICANN's legal regime is much worse that governmental
regimes, it can and will be used to upstage the latter's good
points..<br>

To think that most people of the world want such things is
preposterous, but those involved with ICANN can make themselves
believe that this is indeed so. Get out of your insularity please.
There is a real world out there. And you are hurting its
interests. <br>

many more times truer of ICANN.... It is just that ICANN
