As some of you may know, about 2 months ago M. Stuart Lynn, presidant
of ICANN, single handedly announced that ICANN has been a failure and and should be reformed. (see: the proposal) Among Mr. Lynn’s suggestions are: more govermental involvement and less individual user particapation in ICANN.rnWhat does this mean to us as Internet participants? A great deal unfortunately. ICANN is responsible for managing root DNS servers and overseeing domain re
gistries (like Verisign). ICANN’’s responsibilities are to the Internet as a whole and not to individual grandiosity. Additionally, shortly after Mr. Lynn’s edict, ICANN elected to drop its At-Large directors and members. (see url at header). This action suggests that Mr. Lynn, and the ICANN board have no interest in the Internet community as a whole. You can read about and respond to these actions at: the ICANN forum
