When a government is putting back-doors in encryption software, in 
collusion with companies, and worse, writing software standards so as to 
leave deliberate vulnerabilities, and (mis)using the national and 
international standard agencies for this purpose, it is not a conspiracy 
theory to question the (clearly) close relationship ICANN's security 
establishment has with that government. It is the 'normal' duty of civil 
society. But this place seem to be dominated by defenders of the 
powerful rather than those who question them.... A pity, I would say, 
for any space which is supposed to be civil society...
