Recently Alejandro Pisanty, an ICANN puppet who is fluent in Spanish -
posts some information to a south american network operators list I
subscribe too - very low traffic - everyone's more or less polite. But
Elejandro does not even bother to translate it - which he can do quickly -
or even grind the message through bable into spanish so the spanish
subscribers to the spanish list will understand it.
Instead - the lovely Michael Sondow, an anti ICANN type, takes the time to
translate. That's nice. Thank you Michael. Sometimes as i pick through
the debris this world has become I find human gems - always a pleasure.
Regards
Joe Baptista

¿Solo participar en las reuniones, o también participar en las
decisiones del Names Council y el Board? Porque nada más estar
presente vale poco.

Menos los usuarios independientes, que comprendemos el cincuenta por
ciento de los websites y tráfico.

No es cierto. No hay ninguna ley dando autoridades a ICANN. Los EEUU
no es una dictadura donde unas personas pueden, por puro gusto,
crear autoridades sin legislación. Todavía no.

ICANN no está cargada con ninguna de estas funciones, sino con la
mera coordinación técnica del sistema de nombres de dominio. Y nada
más.

ICANN no tiene, o no debe tener, absolutamente nada que ver con
hacer la política del Internet. Es un engaño.
