New Orleans, LA | Heck, let's just start re-directing us to those sites even when we type in the RIGHT address
Why not?
Heck, send an email? Get an AD |

| I like where your head's at.
Let's just take it all the way! Do anything? AD.
No access to anything. Just ads. All the time. |

ICANN matters. A lot. Regardless of what the free market types would have you believe.
Same for IETF, IANA, IETF, ITU and other regulatory and standards organizations.
Your packets, phone calls and hell, your snail mail gets from point A to point B because there are underlying standards that make it so.

Come to think of it, just about the only thing Idiocracy got wrong was the miles-long Costco. It won't be Costco. Instead it will be endless strip malls with payday loan advance places charging 400% interest.

Re: Heck, let's just start re-directing us to those sites ICANN "matters", but they rarely -- if ever -- enforce anything.
Read the PDF. You won't find use of the terms CANNOT, WILL NOT, MUST NOT, or SHALL NOT. You'll find terms like "strongly discourages", "should not", "is directed to", "approach with caution", "recommends" -- and even this absolutely worthless statement:
---
If an applicant for a new gTLD believes there is a legitimate use of these technologies that will not have security or stability issues as described in Module 2 of the Applicant Guidebook (currently in draft version 3), the applicant has the option to include the service in its application justifying its reasoning why security and stability issues will not arise.
---
Exclusive DNS redirection/NXDOMAIN substitution prohibition only applies to new gTLDs (e.g. .poop) or ccTLDs (e.g. .bo for Bolivia, .ea for Earth, or whatever) going forward. None of the rules stated by ICANN apply to existing gTLDs or ccTLDs.
Wow, thanks ICANN, you're so useful! *facepalm*
This is probably one of the (many) reasons the EU wants ICANN disbanded from being US-centric -- oh, and they got their wish. Too bad that won't take effect until 2011.
