Timezones. That resource online at the timeanddate.com website is pretty cool. I had not seen it earlier. I have to call Asia from Canada on a regular basis so that site is useful. The UTC code is also useful for internet related matters. Back to the topic at hand. Timezones. That resource online at the timeanddate.com website is pretty cool. I had not seen it earlier.

It's not a matter of standing up to governments - it's more pointing out to them the advantages that rest in a multi-stakeholder model. Pleasingly, the vast majority appear to have seen just those advantages, for some of the reasons you outline. But if you characterise persuasion as standing up to people, ICANN has also stood up ISPs and registries and the technical community and individual users. Everyone thinks they know best for the Internet. What most people have come to realise is that when faced with that, the best solution is to talk with one another and find the compromises.

These politicals are not satisfied with making the messes they have already made they now want to minutely govern everything including that which they do not understand. A free internet is in their best interest too. A lot of criminal activity that was hidden in the past is now being found and distroyed due to the internet. Also it is to everyone's benefit that information can be freely exchanged. Govern through just laws rather micromanagement of everyone's life and communication.
