Thank you Eric,

the footnote is greatly appreciated from down here in Central America. I would never make fun of the pretentions, and greatly respect your internal values and freedoms as per your constitution a lot.

But the external track record is indeed inconsistent. For that reason I prefer to leave ICANN out of this discussion. The fight for human rights is at a different level.

So I agree with your statement as to where the responsibility lies.
