[governance] Do We Need An Internet Zoning Law?

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Robert and all,

  ICANN whether it likes it or not, IS directly and indirectly
by it's own actions, significantly involved in "Content" due to
the plain and simple technical facts of how the Internet works.
Such is inescapable, although frequently denied by several
ICANN officials.  And frequently denied by ICANN's own
contracted agents, namely and mainly registrars, registries,
and IP RIR's.  This would more especially be so of Afilias,
which is your DN's registry....
