First some general questions.... Do you think that non-U.S. citizens should be able to use U.S. network facilities for their employment, without any visa, work-permit, etc. ? What do you think ? Do you like having the U.S. freedom to express your opinion?
Do you think that U.S. companies should continue to employ non-U.S. citizens while laying off U.S. citizens ? What do you think ? Do you like having the U.S. freedom to express your opinion? Do you think that non-U.S. citizens should be allowed to be freely "imported" by large multi-national companies, to freely work on the Internet with no identification that they are not U.S. citizens ? What do you think ? Do you like having the U.S. freedom to express your opinion? Do you think that non-U.S. citizens should be allowed to freely roam around in cyberspace on U.S. networks from outside of the U.S. ? Why should the U.S. Government focus on physical immigration and ignore cyber immigration ? ...or, Do you think that all of the borders of the U.S. (both physical and cyber) should be opened up and anyone will be allowed to roam around as they please? What do you think ? Do you like having the U.S. freedom to express your opinion? More specific to ICANN and the IETF.... What major standards has the IETF produced ? What has ICANN accomplished ? major or minor... Do you think that the U.S. Department of Commerce,under advice from ICANN, should continue to support so-called ccTLDs in the legacy root name servers with little or no knowledge of who the people are behind those TLDs ? Do you think that the so-called ccTLDs should pay exactly the same as all other TLDs to be listed in the legacy root name servers ? An ASCII string is an ASCII string after all. By the way, A stands for American in ASCII. What do you think ? Do you like having the U.S. freedom to express your opinion? Why does the IETF always focus on censorship ? Why does ICANN censor U.S. companies from the legacy root name servers operated largely under the direction of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Will anyone mind if the President of the United States orders that ALL of the legacy root name servers be operated within the U.S. and that ONLY U.S. companies be allowed to add TLDs to those servers ? http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/10/print/20011016-12.html Executive Order Critical Infrastructure Protection in the Information Age Jim Fleming http://www.in-addr.info 3:219 INFO http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/130dftmail/unir.txt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexandre Dulaunoy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2001 5:23 PM Subject: [OF] ietf Re: in memoriam > Dear, > > Could the IETF mailing-list be moderated for off-topics comments ? > > The board of trustee of the ISOC is international. > http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/board.shtml > > The joining of the IETF is open and major standard are coming from the > IETF and are created by people all over the world. > > Limiting network by boundaries is like limiting software by patents. > > Your opinion is your opinion, but please stop to use IETF as a media. > > Alex > > > > On Fri, 19 Oct 2001, Jim Fleming wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "TOMSON ERIC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > 2.Stop advertising America ; the Internet has not been limited to American > > users for years now (*). > > > > In my opinion, the reverse is the case.
