[governance] People's Daily of China: US must hand over Internet control to the world

[Dominique Lacroix]

Exact, thanks Norbert.

It clearly appears a large hole in the IANA report for the year 2003.
I ignore whether this hole is filled with water or not. Beside Iraq 
invasion by US army (20 mars 2003).

In case it was, the IANA report could contain false statements.
A point for the Iznogoodatall kingdom.

Karen McKarthy, generally very well informed, wrote in 2003:
" /It is difficult to track back in the past what domains may have 
existed since the entire domain is now down and has been for some time. 
However, Internet and telecoms consulting firm TeleGeography claimed in 
January 2002 that there were *225* owners of .iq domains/."

She also says that the manager Bayan Elashi never paid any fee to ICANN.

Some army tanks (sent by George W. Bush or Saddam Hussein) may be as 
efficient as ICANN in order to scare ISP, registrars and site creators.
But what ICANN-IANA did exactly between Bayan Elashi's imprisonment and 
the effective redelegation?
And why the correct details are not in the IANA report?

Best,

@+, Dominique
