Hi,

not to speak of the fact that the mechanisms we are building are specific to the problems at hand (domain names, phishing, mail abuse, etc.) and it's a really long shot to think of one oversight board comprehensive enough to deal with them all.


Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

Best statement I’ve heard yet in this ongoing, neverending debate.

“There is an even clearer alternative, that of NO oversight by governments.”

Why are we as civil participants advocating for any government control of the Internet. An international board of representatives of all stakeholders with none having any more power than any other is the preferred option. We are on the way to that already. Why would we want to change this path?

There is an even clearer alternative, that of NO oversight by governments.

Since we are CS, why would we insist on having gov'ts take on this role when we can do it ourselves (as a "free--floating" ICANN run by an international BoD)?

Not only is this more desirable IMHO, but actually something that might be achieved.
