[governance] Emergencyresolution on.xxx recall-and thedestruction of ICANN's integrity

[Carlos Afonso]

Grande Milton, the basic problem is that this discussion has made clear 
we do not have (yet, as I am an optimist :)) a consensus CS position on 
the issue. Two basic views in my opinion:

- on the one hand, the ones (like me, hope I am not alone in this...) 
who think the entire creation/delegation/redelegation process of 
gTLDs/sTLDs is faulty, and we cannot just accept (as if there were an 
international convention or something like it) that, once ICANN decides 
on this, no one (governments or not) can ask for revision anymore, be it 
.xxx or any other combination of letters.

- on the other, the ones who want to preserve at any cost ICANN from any 
interference from governments (an illusion, as ICANN is legally and 
historically dependent on you-know-who), even when governments (aware or 
not that the mentioned ICANN process is faulty) feel affected by ICANN's 
decisions, and taking into account that governments have different paces 
and reaction times, and not always can rely on the GAC porthole.
