accountability structure, but I am not a very trusting sort when it comes
to corporations, so am waiting to see what is done with the ATRT2 report.

I did not fully explain VGNs/Layer6 along RFCs earlier.

private data were probably safer at Google than at the NSA (recursive "curl
-O" for 1.7 million secret files scattered around the world). Mike Roberts
(First ICANN CEO and instrumental in its creation) then explained that
anything regarding the internet US umbrella would be legitimately
scrutinized by influent patriot US Congressmen. Now that everything is
better known by everyone, I estimated that now the Congressmen would
protect us against crime, we could protect ourselves against US
Congressmen, and force our own representatives to carry their national
precautionary duty.

FLOSS, etc.  *precautionary powerful capacities* can digitally protect us

Will you join the creation of a (FLOSS Internet Name and Numbers Secondary
Information Center) FLINN-SIC, incorporated outside of the US and destined
to cooperate with the other VGNICs, including ICANN as the USG's VGNIC,
toward the stability, security, and development of the internet and its
subsequent higher layer strata?

finally have made progress!
