Farber, Neumann, and Weinstein Call for End to ICANN

Posted by michael on from the new-hope dept.

lapse writes: "PFIR's latest policy statement calls for bringing an end to ICANN. Without assigning blame, it calls for immediate action, and suggests some possible paths forward. Let's hope that this clear statement from such a respected trio will lead to better times ahead for Internet policy management." Salon also has an interview with Karl Auerbach about his lawsuit against ICANN.

    Yes, there was a Dell article between Science: Optical Cryptography and Your Rights Online: Farber, Neumann, and Weinstein Call for End to ICANN. I don't know where it went, but here is the link:

    Yeah, I saw that Dell article myself. Whats even odder is that it seems to have been removed from my cache/history mysteriously.

  4. Your Rights Online? by Mr.+Neutron · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Why is it that EVERY ICANN story goes under the header "Your Rights Online?" Is ICANN censoring me? Are ICANN operatives busting down my door and confiscating my computer? Is ICANN preventing me from sharing files? If ICANN were dissolved tomorrow, would my life be affected in ANY WAY?

    Yeah, ICANN is important to the future of the net, but "your rights online?"
