<pre>In particular, I would assert that the real link between the NSA revelations and technical management of the root is the perception that both involve the same country, the USA. I would claim that there is no technical linkage between the two. Those that believe there is such a linkage have the obligation to describe in detail, with evidence, exactly what they believe that linkage is.<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>There is also a perception that ICANN and therefore the IANA function being located in the USA have given the NSA an advantage in being able to carry out their various surveillance activities. I asset that this is not true. Those that believe there is such a linkage have the obligation to describe in detail, with evidence, exactly what they believe that linkage is.<o:p></o:p></pre>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">Dear George and Shatan,<br>
I usually don't share all Jefsey's visions (cause either I cannot understand them or I have no time enough to read their abstracts). But on this point I fear YOU have to give the world some evidence. Otherwise you could appear as trying to reverse the burden
of proof.<br>
<br>
The Patriot Act + NSA revelations ARE evidences for the whole world.<br>
That is the very sad and tricky situation we have to face.<br>
