Comments on news posted 2004-11-22 09:36:00: There's been an increasing amount of anti-American sentiment thrown in the direction of ICANN, with plenty of talk about how the UN or another global office should take over their management of the internet. ..

Crap!

Didn't we start he internet? I believe we did, and I also believe that US owned companies control the majority of the internet. So I honestly do not believe that the control should go to the UN ever.

As far as the pass ICANN, there's alot that can be improved. I think they can be a lil more harsh on violations, and should of canceled verisigns contract to be a root server as soon as sitefinder was launched.

It will only come down to one thing though, time. We will see who has the better package, but I do not wish to see the US lose control of the internet.

Screw both of t hem

We don't need ICANN or the UN "managing" the Internet in any way, shape or form. ICANN couldn't give a rat's @$$ about domain transfer security and has mismanaged many other things (e.g., not yanking NSI's domain management contracts for their SiteFinder BS). The UN is just well, the UN.

Build your own

If the UN has a problem with the Internet then BUILD YOUR OWN. I can't stand these UN bitches telling us what to do with our country. We created it so we get to control is. Why don't you go do something useful and take care of North Korea.

Bargain

I saw we use the internet as a bargaining tool. If there is any country that we don't get along with, then we give them a choice - either do what we say or we will yank the internet. I am sure most countries around the world would be much more willing to negotiate if we offered them that.

If all else fails - use the nukes. :-P

Doing that will cause private networks to spring up, and someone will find a way around it by NAT'ing one ip address to a million people pretty much. The internet is so big I do not think that is possible really. Nice thought though =). Can we kick Korea and China off first?

Re: Build you own

I can't belive you would say such a thing about the UN!. I mean, look at the honorable and dignified way they handled the Iraqi Oil for Food Program and the follow up investigation!!

Let's start working.....

We can start working on Internet3. We'll deploy fiber all over the place and it'll be an even better place than Internet2.

dns != internet

I'm reading all this talk about control of the internet. Remember that DNS != the internet. Sure the internet is dependent on dns and the root servers run by icann. If the UN wants to, they can start running their dns root servers with their own tld.

What the hell are you talking about? This isn't "internet2." Internet2 is a private edu and research network. It doesn't mean this is the 2nd internet

You can have the internet, we'll have everything listed on this page : -

You don't want to? Then Shut up.

Hello thereis no money in that. Now oil for food scams that was good till Bush went and messed that up for them. Now they need the internet and other things to make up for all that money (sickning amounts) that the UN members were stealing.

Re: Crap!

Such a pointless post, why don't we compare apples to grapes, or chickens to goat. I notice the internet is not on that list, though I think some of the things ont he list are used more so then the internet, such as the Rubber Band. But again, has my country tried to tell your country how to run the rubberband factories?

Re: Crap!

I dunno that it's so much that the US wants to control it.

I just think that we don't want the UN and its corruption using it as a cash cow.

UN cannot even manage them selves

UN cannot even manage them selves and they want to control the internet. Seeing after how well they ran the UN for Food project and putting that in the dumper.
