Betreff: [governance] European Commission and ICANN

European citizens may be interested in my recent blog post. Here are the
opening shots: 

"The EU needs new and better representation in ICANN. Its operatives in the
Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) are failing to uphold European values
related to free expression, open internet and bottom up governance. EC
representatives in ICANN are utterly devoid of any vision of what kind of
policies they want or what values they wish to uphold. The EC seems
interested only in more power for itself - even though it has no clear idea
what it wants to do with that power. So it has locked itself into a
reactionary position. It is turning its back on bottom up, multistakeholder
governance and, amazingly, it is appealing to the United States to exert
unilateral authority over ICANN in order to pursue its apparent goal of a
governmental takeover of ICANN. It is a sorry spectacle."
