NTIA-STOP-THE-ICANN
campaign?

great, just like the USPTO. 18 month service in a nanosecond world.The Internet would not be as desirable a forum for e-commerce (or anything
else actually) if is evolution is slowed down to the point of the snail's
pace of regulatory agencies. Isn't that one of the big reasons we've been
against governmental intervention from the get go?Looks like lots of people are wishing for the ICANN to become worse than a
governmental entity controlling the Internet. Governmental entities (at
least in the US) can be voted out, their information can be FOIA'd, and its
policies can be scrutinized. We can't even get ICANN to hold open board
meetings, or publish full minutes in a timely manner.
