The quotation was from Junger v Daly. That case and quotation has nothing to do with patent law. I was simply trying to point out Junger has experience with litigation.
You Can't Patent Software: Patenting Software Is Wrong
So writes Peter Junger (successful appellant in Junger v Daly which effectively overturned the US Export Cryptography laws. The court held "Because computer source code is an expressive means for the exchange of information and ideas about computer programming, we hold that it is protected by the First Amendment.")
Peter writes in his argument in the URL below...
"In the twenty-five years since the decision of the Supreme Court in Diehr the Court has not considered a single case in which there was a challenge to a software patent. Instead, until very recently, it has left issues of patent law to the Federal Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, a specialized Article III Court created in 1982 that now hears all appeals from the Board of Patent Appeals in patent cases as well as most such appeals from the federal district courts.111 Over the years since then, the Federal Circuit has tried to wriggle its way around the Supreme Court's holdings in Benson, Flook and Diehr and now acts as if it had overruled those decisions. "
Grave concerns over the security of electronic voting machines in the United States means the heart of American democracy is at risk.

"...The Big Issue: Security
So, how do you know that the machine actually counted your vote? You don't! Oh sure, you may see a screen at the end of the process that shows you what you selected... but how do you know that those choices are actually tabulated? The answer: trust the companies that make the machines. But that attitude, if it ever made sense, has been shown to be not just wrong but foolhardy in the past several months... "
Actually Canada does have a 'do not call' list. I have been on it for 5 years and it largely works, I just get the odd local realtor who suddenly gets the idea of telemarketing and the like who are not members of the CMA, maybe 3 or 4 calls a year. This is down from the dozen calls a month I used to get.

Harald Avlestrand has written what I consider a good analysis relating to ICANN Reform
" ICANN Reform - a personal view
Note: This is not the view of any body, organization or entity that I sometimes represent. It is my personal attempt to organize thoughts that can form the basis of saying something about how ICANN should be organized.
What ICANN was designed to do
ICANN, as designed, was supposed to carry out a few tasks:
Control the content of the "root zone file"
Hand out address space (IPv4 and IPv6) in a responsible manner to RIRs
Perform book-keeping functions on other number assignments
All these functions can occupy a full-time person. Making sure the information about those changes and modifications are visible to the world at large throuh a web service can occupy another.
The rest of ICANN is concerned with one matter only:
