ICANN Budget Questioned

Thing I am writes "The proposed 2004-5 budget for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has hit a snag - the rest of the world is refusing to pay its share of the bill. ICANN last week proposed a budget of $15.8m for next year, nearly twice as much as its current annual expenditure."

    The Register is a UK web site. In the UK we're not quite as obsessviely politically correct as the US: I suspect it's because we lack the whole history etc around domestic slavery, the civil rights movement etc etc.

    I think one of the 1st things the ITU will do is revoke all existing class A address and give notice to all class B holder to reduce their holdings. Then I expect the existing class A address space to be split up by the most complex way any group of people could think of based mostly on population potential relative to existing ip address assignments and existing social boundires or something like that.
