[governance] FBI, DEA, IPv6 & ICANN

Wed Jun 27 07:48:59 EDT 2012

Carlos,

please use the opportunity mentioned by John. It is a pity that you have sat in at least four hours of ISOC meetings while in Prague, and in many others, and have not put forward these questions to the community of experts present. 

Your question goes to the essence of what is ICANN's mission and what it is not. It will be educational to clarify that important matter with the example of IPv6-related policy. ICANN's remit is concerned with allocation, not deployment. But why would I ask you to accept my explanation when you are meters and minutes away from better experts.

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?
