again, IMHO, ditto for the ITU. they would be more bureaucratic than
autocratic, but would still not have a clue about the Internet or DNS
or domain names or business........
and in addition in both cases my voice would be driven through my
politicians. much as I like the folks at Industry Canada who are
responsible for this, my voice is more effective directly and, with
respect, is MUCH more relevant than theirs. and that is Canada. imagine
the equivalent in the developing world.
be careful what you wish for.
