Title: icann.roberts.19990810 / PCCF Participation in DNSO & ICANN

REF: icann.roberts.19990810

Michael Roberts, Interim President and CEO
Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers

Dear Mr. Roberts:
RE: PCCF Participation in DNSO & ICANN.
This letter will serve to provide you with notice that
Planet Communications &
Computing Facility (PCCF) intends to join the
Domain Name Supporting Organization (DNSO)
of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
Participation in your venture by PCCF does not signify support.
Our specific
interest is limited to protecting the integrity of existing
internet name and number infrastructures.
We have reviewed the historical and legal issues which resulted in
the United States Department of
Commerce position on the
"Management of Internet Names and
Addresses" (Docket Number: 980212036-8146-02).
Our conclusions are that the United States Government and it's agencies
have no established legal right to manage or govern the domain name
system or number infrastructure.
We have no alternative but to conclude ICANN has not established
the required legal justification to effect control over the
infrastructure. Also, we are not convinced that ICANN has the appropriate
consensus of the internet community required to justify and solidify it's
position on these issues.
Regards
J. Baptista, Administrator
