[governance] FBI, DEA, IPv6 & ICANN

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Thanks, John, and sorry again for mispelling Thomas Narten's name.

The central point of my concerns is that ICANN usually jumps at the 
simple mention of a need for international Internet governance which 
would include the logical infrastructure of the Net -- its response is 
that this is already done by ICANN, that we should not "fix what is not 
broken" and so on.

Now, when a grave issue like the one I mentioned is posed to the board, 
they mute or there are reactions like Thomas's -- it turns into just a 
technical names and numbers body. No longer an international Internet 
governance organization dedicated to the logical infrastructure of the 
network?
