Vint did a great job of facilitating at these two. One thing he does make reference to at one point is that one problem is the ephemerality of the DNS, <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/DigitalCooperation> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/coppaat20> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/CITIDFS-ICO> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/ConnectedNE> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety2/js-nyc-nov18> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/swissigf18> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/iotsecurity2018-4> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/ukigf18> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/routingsecurity/> <http://www.mnn.org/live/2-lifestyle-channel> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/diversity/> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/VisionsIG> <http://www.mnn.org/live/2-lifestyle-channel> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/12days01/> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/12days02> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/12days03/> <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/12days04> [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/12days05/> Today, *Sunday December 30 2018*, at *7pm EST* (00:00 UTC), for the *fifth installment* of the *Internet Society Livestreaming <https://isoc.live/>*‘s ‘*12 Days of Streams <https://isoc.live/tag/12-streams/>‘* annual highlights we turn to another Internet Hall of Famer, Google’s Chief Internet Evangelist *Vint Cerf <https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/vint-cerf>*.

ICANN's response to Afilias inre .web kerfuffle
by Carlton Samuels Dec. 27, 2018

Dec. 27, 2018

... they argue against 'emergency relief' and the IRP, which, on the balance of facts and logic, is both rational and reasonable. But they really should stop trumpeting 'diversity and creativity' as measures of success for the ngTLD program though. https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/irp-afilias-icann-opp-emergency… -Carlton ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Process, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

Re: [At-Large] Say Whut!
by Carlton Samuels Dec. 17, 2018

Dec. 17, 2018

Yessir, I can recall your exact words to me so long ago; waste of time, decision already made. The reasoning you offered was bold, too. I was interested at one point. Then when it was too clearly a bridge too far, I retired to the shadows. A congressman from Texas once told a writer I truly loved that in politics you have no right to call yourself a politician if you cant drink their whiskey, take their women and money and still vote against them. Theres a lesson there somewhere. The arguments you hear on this or that are stimulating for a policy wonk. But quite frankly at this point much of what the At-Large does is margin-gathering. Someone has to. And we live in hope. -Carlton On Mon, 10 Dec 2018, 1:07 am Evan Leibovitch <evanleibovitch(a)gmail.com wrote: > So...

For those of you who might be interested, my ace researcher and constant support Dev Anand found the ALAC Statement pertaining from May 2010. As Christopher would - dated and brings memories of my Latin master in high school - say '*mutatis mutandis*'. https://bit.ly/2Qu1XrH -Carlton ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Process, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
