Good to have Kieren and others here on the ICANN blog to give straight forward answers. Like it has been repeated over and over, on various ICANN blogs, get involved, attend ICANN meetings, join committees and help make a difference.

The blog is what the blog is. The ICANN community is often robust in its comments; in which case, on this blog at least, we are robust in our responses. People seem to appreciate a bit of frankness and honesty - at least that's what I constantly hear from people. You'll find the public participation site at http://public.icann.org and of course the main site at http://icann.org are much straighter and so more likely to be what you're looking for. Hope this helps. Kieren I detect a note of sarcasm in your comment, Ralph.

In the past , in Europe, for example, French and Latin served as a common language at different times. Common language has been used for dominance, which is why most people are unhappy with it, but it also serves as way for people whose native languages are different to communicate. The issues of commonality and dominace should be kept separate in these sorts of discussions - one promotes good, the other not so much.

IDNs make the Internet a truly global medium. I think this is a good thing. ICANN thinks this a good thing. And a few billion others, once they have it, will soon think it is a good thing. To aide in this process, ICANN has made some glossaries so we are all able to use consistent terms while trying to bridge over language divides. If you follow the link on the post, you can find them.

If they are ever going to get out of the financial mess they are in they need to stop talking to the Chinese, Japanese, Russian and others very loudly in English, and start marketing in the culturally sensitive manner other nations have been doing so for years. There is more to the American Trade Deficit than just producing over priced crap products. It is America that needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
