[governance] For you as an Internet user, what is a "Critical Internet resource"?

[Hakikur Rahman]

With our eyes from a developing country like Bangladesh, we see 
nothing but access as the CIR, though as a user I understand, IPv4/6, 
BGP, multi-casting, root-server, etc. are essential elements of CIR. 
But, to me if I am not connected at all, what the benefit I will be 
obtaining from the Internet. Most of the time, either my ISP's server 
remains down or can not resolve DNS, or my dial-in telephone contains 
noise to make proper handshake, or my so-called broadband line 
remains snapped or their server remains down, or our lone SEA-ME-WE4 
connection becomes unavailable. In these perspectives, how to proceed 
for an effective infrastructure, a big question always remain.

Thanking you,
Hakik
