[governance] US Congrerss & JPA

[kpeters at tldainc.org]

      I believe the US congress wants to keep ICANN on a short leash  
internally, but impose a mandate on them, withing those contraints, to  
be international in scope and understanding through bottom-up  
listening. It can well be argued that they have failed in much of that  
listening so far, but this is how I justify the two apparently  
divergent positions.
     Nations and groups of nations should feel free to set up their  
own DNS including whatever they like. No one is constrained to live  
with ICANN except the US, and many of us use other DNS for a wider  
view of the internet, too.
     The main caution is to work not to allow collisions in the namespace.
     Given the trend in American government, it is not so clear that  
you will always be able to see a free press through ICANN and you may  
well be better off with your own.
