AW: [governance] Pizza? Leaning tower of Pizza.

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Wolfgang and all,

  China's reluctance in joining the GAC is not Taiwan's presence,
but far more technically and economically fundemental.  Frankly I
believe that some of their concerns are fully justified.  ICANN
does not.  Ergo the divide.  Unfortunately for ICANN the Chinese 
government knows it has a very big stick, and can weild it adeptly
when it feels the need to do so and has provided a few minor
demonstrations of same.  More robust demonstrations may be forthcoming.

>The Chinese government is a member of the GAC since 1998, but did not participate in the meetings until the recent Sydney emeting because Taiwan is also an official GAC members (due to the clause in the GAC founding document that giovernments and "recognized territories" were invited to join the GAC). However in Sydney China and Taiwan were sitting together in the same room and - supriose, surprise - sjakhed hans when they entered the room :-)))>>
