Allowing international domains is relevant to its purpose

No, I don’t think ICANN is handling too many policy issues. And by allowing international domain names, it confirmed its relevance. So I wouldn’t vouch for its dissolution either.

Reponse to Twitter Tweet…
@antonyvc My take on ICANN Board retreat: http://bit.ly/d3u83M
================================================

Why do you continue to put your head in the sand with regard to the major changes happening in digital communications ?

Are you unaware of what happens at a T.R.A.F.F.I.C meeting like the one coming up in Miami, South Beach ?

Have you considered the forces at play in the .VEGAS CES AVxx in January ?

Have you been tracking the demise of NANOG and the ARIN evolution?

Do you factor in the IEEE, VLANs and the new WIFI unlicensed spectrum and the ITU currently meeting in Mexico ?

Have you also mixed in changes coming from Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and Apple ?

What about the last mile and last 6 feet in the consumer’s Home Theater with DLNA ?

Add to the above the reality that 25% of Americans will soon be over 65 and a new generation of .KIDS are not going to pay attention to ICANN. They will build a new net, thank you very much. Some will likely make a lot of money. There may be movies made about them.

Yes, the salmon still continue to swim upstream in search of those elusive ICANN gTLDs. When they get them, they may also realize they come with a hook, line and sinker.
There will be people waiting to charge to make those available to the consumers. ICANN will have very little Market Reach.

2012 will be an important election year for many Americans. All of the flavors of the .NET should be ready for the Cotillion or Coronation. ICANN will NOT be invited to that.

With all of the new DNS changes coming, ICANN serves no purpose. That was shown with the .CO launch, which does not involve ICANN.
Free market DNS forces can now shape the market. Free market address space allocation technologies render “the IANA task” moot.

Ahead of ICANN, Registries were capable of managing their own client base, now known as Registrars. Any kind of Isp or even website owner or attorney or even individual having a clue is actually a Registrar. They didn’t have to be “accredited” by Esther Dyson’s Labor Union.

The Internet is like the NFL. When it started, everyone stood around the edge of the field. Then, people were pushed into grandstands. Some moved to skyboxes. The vast majority of people now WATCH on TV.

ICANN, Geeks & Domainers are still standing at the edge of the field. They are out of touch with what people REALLY see on their screens.

What do you see here ?

Hint: try “Kisses”

The Internet views censorship (and artificial scarcity) as damage and ROUTES AROUND IT or encapsulates and eclipses.
There is no longer any need for ICANN.
ICANN should be dissolved.

You so care about hooking up 3rd world dump countries with special domains omg. Let them learn god damn english.

“Phishers continue defrauding consumers using techniques that DNSSEC can stop. ” And how the god damn hell is this icans responsiblity? You want to control the whole internet now or what?
We don’t need DNSSEC neither ipv6 go work on the roads or cleaning up the gulf…

“ICANN’s regulatory regime (such as it is) makes adding “new tld’s” difficult.”

http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2010/msg02394.html
“ICANN (speaking of the community, not the staff) is a hive mind and you can
not usefully ask what it thinks.”

People seem to ignore that the Internet is a Tribal Structure.
The Tribe is going to do as they please.

http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2010/maillist.html

Appointing DC policy wonks and frat boys to ride around in limos sending text messages to each other about The Tribe, is a waste of time and m0ney. Regulators who think they are going to drive up with their tinted windows and avoid getting out of the car because “their shoes might get muddy” will be ineffective.

The Tribe is going to do as they please. They write the code.

“The ICANN community is also working hard…”
Doing what ?

Who is “The ICANN community…” ?

Are elections held for the ICANN Board ?
Who is on the ICANN Board ? Who placed them there ?

Why are Registrants (RegiGrunts) supporting Million Dollar Non-Profit Salaries ?

When is the .COM Re-Bid ?
When is the .NET Re-Bid ?
When is the .ORG Re-Bid ?

Are .ORG leaders elected by the 8,000,000 .ORG RegiGrunts ?
Where does $56,000,000 per year go in the .ORG opaque society ?
