ICANN Eliminates Karl Auerbach's Seat
BrianWCarver writes "SiliconValley.com carries an AP report by Anick Jesdanun indicating that ICANN has given Karl Auerbach the boot by eliminating his seat as well as the four other publicly elected seats on ICANN's board. ICANN is the internet's key oversight body, managing the Top-Level Domains (TLDs). You may recall from this previous Slashdot story that Auerbach is the director who successfully sued ICANN to receive access to their records without having to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. 'Though soon leaving the ICANN board, Auerbach vows to keep complaining. And he leaves with no regrets -- he'd do it again.' It'll now be up to organizations like ICANNWatch to keep an eye on ICANN for the public. Is that good enough?'"
Nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure.
perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'
Ya gotta watch those crafty cnundrumists. They go about pushing their views on the unwilling. I've said it before and I'll say it again: MY BODY...MY CHOICE!
If we don't fight for ourselves no one will.
If that is true then you can't have a website without doing bussiness with them. They also own all the ip addresses. If you form a website how can (icann speak)customers oops I mean users connect to it? If your server isn't listed in the master dns boxes then your site does not exist. Also even if you could go register your website in the main dns servers, someone could go to icann and register your ip address. After this anyone typing your url would be redirected to the other internet user who just purchased your ip address. This assumes of course that the other user registered a site with your IP.
Sadly, bussinesses think they own the web and most of the time users just ignore them. However i think the bussinesses are right. Its their's. The net is no longer viewed as public domain but is more viewed as a way to make money or extend commerce. Everything from the backbone of the net itself, to the routing equipment, to the isp's, to ICANN are all owned by corporations. Even colleges outsource to various isp's. Academia no longer has the pressence it once had. Who owns the internet? The government, the people, or a cartel ?
Its up to ICANN to make the most amount of money as possible. Its a bussiness and the internet is soley a bussiness model. If they are public then they have to grow anyway possible to satisfy the shareholders. They already charge more per ip address since the supply is going down and they encourage customers to buy in bulk to limit supply even farther. I but they will throw a fit if IP version 6 ever becomes standard for this reason.
