I would like to understand why you never consider that such things could
simply be subject to competition? And if this way you do not encourage
the emergence of the VGN multiplication?<br><br>

Is there a list of the IANA entries that have been decided by ICANN/IANA
and not by IETF or IETF experts? All these debates are a question of
trust. If you want people to trust you, be transparent. What is not from
the IETF and from the multitude in the IANA data?<br><br>

The question has already been asked and I�ll ask again. What is the
specific problem about being subject to US law? As a general
matter, rule of law is usually considered one of the U.S.�s very
strongest qualities.</blockquote><br>
Sorry. This not the way the world is now used to consider the USG.
However the real question regarding the US law, is not the US. The
question is why are the US demanding that Govs do not represent their
citizens on an equal footing with them. National laws should apply to
national ICANN the same as the US one. They might be independent ICANN or
an ICANN franchise or chapters? Why have ICANN never investigated
it? <br><br>
